SVCD2DVD crashes on load of mp4 video

[gq6zero]

Anyone know how to fix this problem i load a .mp4 video to convert to dvd and svcd2dvd crash. I tried to differ mp4 videos and it still crashes.

[Jikchung]

Which version/build are you using? Make sure you are using the latest release.
Is there a log file or error message?
What is the audio format of the .mp4?

[gq6zero]

I'm using the lastest release and build. I know its a (H.264) mp4 video. what ever that means. As for the audio its AC3 i belieave.

I'm also having this problem.
Anyone knows how to 'convert' mp4 to dvd?

Thanks.

[Jikchung]

aac audio will cause this.

[ssalim]

aac? If it's so, is there a fix or workaround?
Thanks.

I have never used this type of file (mp4). My suggestion would be to try and open the file in VirtualDub (I don't know if it's supported). If the file plays in VirtualDub, try saving it with WAV audio (video = direct stream copy, audio = full processing mode). You will enup with a larger file that you may now be able to use in SVCD2DVD.

mp4 should be ok.. But there may be some issues with the audio as stated. Can you use something like mediainfo or avicodec to deduce the video and audio type so i can gauge the issue?

[ssalim]

Ok, I used mediainfo:
3GPP: 1.21 GiB, 1h 50mn
1 video stream: H.265
1 audio stream: AAC LC

Unfortunately, the latest build of VirtualDub (version 1.6.14) does not support .mp4 files.

[Jikchung]

As far as I remember AAC audio is not supported by SVCD2DVD.

[ChrissyBoy]

Indeed. I am working on it.

[ssalim]

Thanks - can't wait.

I'm having a similar problem, but the error is not from SVCD2DVD. When I pick an asset that is an MP4 file, I get an ffmpeg.exe error.

I had to dload ffmepg in order to get WMP to play MP4 files (and they play just fine), so I'm not sure why it would crash when an MP4 file is added as an asset to SVCD2DVD.


I just dloaded and installed the latest build BTW...so no need to ask ChrissyBoy

Oh yeah...I checked the MP4 file using AVICodec and all I glenaded from that was the audi and video codecs were unknown

Any insight would be handy as my assets are just taking up drive space right now.

Cheers

[Jikchung]

As above, it's probably AAC audio. Check the files with Gspot.

[ColdFusion2]

Bugger!!....thanks Dwight...I did read that and forgot to check...I'll nab GSpot and make sure

[ColdFusion2]

No luck getting any info with GSpot either

[ChrissyBoy]

Try MPC and then look at the properties (File->Properties)

[ColdFusion2]

Try MPC and then look at the properties (File->Properties)

Thanks ChrissyBoy....that worked and confirmed AAC for audio:

Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 576x320 [GPAC ISO Video Handler]
Audio: AAC 24000Hz stereo 62Kbps [GPAC ISO Audio Handler]

So is there a way around this?

TIA

Cheers

[Gripweed]

Any update on when SVCD2DVD will be able to handle AAC audio? I'm running into more and more of these H264/AVC/.mp4 files that have that. It's tempting to download them because the quality is so good and the size is so small but the extra processing I have to do to them to get them to work with SVCD2DVD isn't worth it.

Unfortunately, the latest build of VirtualDub (version 1.6.14) does not support .mp4 files.
