.mov to mpg2 conversion (I tried many times)

[screwtheworld95]

Ok before you flame me and tell me to read the forums and other parts of the site, I did do that. I want to be able to convert a .mov file to a .mpg file to be able to play on my dvd player. Here is exactly what I did and what the outcome was.

First I did a google search and tried 2 different programs I found that way. One would only convert 5 min. and the other would convert only half of the file so that was a bust.

I first tried tmpgenc without the quicktime plugin and converted half of the file before I got an error saying bad format. I put the QTReader.vfp into the folder that had the other .vfp's and tried to convert the file again but it wouldn't even open the file.

I then tried divxtodvd and got an "invalid floating point operation" when trying to load the video.

Cinema craft would just not open the file.

eovideo produced this error "eo video - quicktime audio not supported (err=30702-0) converting terminated"

edit: I also tried rad tools and got the error could not open audio stream. It converts the file in about 10 seconds and no program can open it. (Right now though I can't view video without it being all distorted so for this program it my just be my computer, which I am currently working on fixing)

I will only need to convert this one file and won't have much use for video conversion after this so I will only be able to use free software or free trials. If someone could please help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Export the file to an AVI (using Quicktime), then encode to MPEG-2.

I know this doesn't help but... I just converted about 75 5-7 minute Quicktime files (.mov) to Mpeg-2 (320x240 - 48000Hz) and burned to DVD. I used tmpgenc without any quicktime plugin and had no problems.
