video has pause after each scene

[edu]

Using WinDV (to transfer), Tmpgenc Plus(to convert each clip) & TMPGEnc DVD Author, the resulting DVD has momentary pause after each movie clip. It is not seamless. I created a DVD from a wedding video that used a Digital 8 camcorder. Is there a fix? Thanks.

The only fix I know of would be to Join all the Clip's. Some DVD Players will go to the next clip a little better then other's(Less Pause).

But this is somthing you cant get around really,Unless like I said join all the clips into one big clip.

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps next time I will configure WinDV to disregard the separate clips and make one big file assuming there is nothing to cut or edit. BTW, how do you join uncompressed AVIs? I can do that using Ulead VS but I am thinking it will be slow. Perhaps Virtualdub can do it but I do not know how.

When I used EasyCD Creator 6, there is no pause. I am thinking it is a bug in TDA?

If it's come from digital then it's not uncompressed. DV-AVI is compressed at around 5:1, and any modern PC should be able to handle it pretty well. For simple edits and joins Ulead should be fine. The reason you have the pauses is that the disk ahs been create as a series of seperate titles to be played one after the other. Even fast standalone players wont play this seamlessly because after each title it needs to go back the control file (IFO) to find out what to do at the end of the title, then back to the next title. Join them in Ulead VS, then add chapter points in your authoring software.

Rip it back to hard drive (new folder) , and use ifoedit to strip streams and remux them , and when remuxing get ifoedit to split at 1 gig mark and reburn it .

I suffered this using dvd-lab , and never used dvd-lab since then .

My preference in toolkits now :

Besweet (audio conversions)
Dvdauthorgui (basic dvds and still menu generation)
Virtualdub (frameserver to bbmpeg to generate m2v streams)
Bbmpeg (of course , create dvd compliant streams)
Muxman (audio + video streams = vob + all related files)
Ifoedit (generate vob's with multi cell chapters (menu creation))
Vobedit (has playback and returns various infomation regarding vob)
Pgcedit (free dvd authoring tool , complains less)
Batchdemux (dumux mpegs into seperate video and audio streams)

I have the same problem with TMPGenc DVD Author, it's a bit of a pain. I think it's a bug in the muxing engine. Bjs' fix should work. I haven't tried it but if you really want to fix it, that's the way to go. Don't forget to save the cell times before you demux and use them when you remux in IfoEdit, otherwise you'll loose all your chapters...
