Converting vcdmpeg1 to dvd info needed.

[heman28]

Hello I am getting ready to put a bunch of vcds onto dvd and I have been using Ulead dvd movie factory 4.0 and I am able to get them all converted but its with mpeg audio and I have the ac3 plugin with it and I don't know how to make all the mpeg1 videos into dvd with ac3 audio for better compatibility instead of mpeg audio. Is there a way to do this with ulead movie factory or do I need to do something else such as freeware to make dvd's with ac3 audio. I am not wanting to rencode the video cause of it being already mpeg1. Thanks for any help. I have looked through the guieds but can not find exactly what I am looking for on how to do this.

Just author the VCD mpgs as they are. I think the mp2 incompatibilty issue is pretty small.

Tiny. Almost non-existant.

I use TDA for (the occational) "VCD as DVD" authoring. Takes care of the upsampling transparently,m and leaves the video alone, just as it should!

If you really, really want/need AC3 audio, you can just load the VCD mpg in ffmpeggui and convert to AC3. Then use the mpg as video source, AC3 as audio source when authoring. I've learned/come to realize that ffmpeggui accepts just about any file type, as long as there's some kind of audio in it.
