How to Burn MP4 with Audios and Subtitle To DVD or VCD

[ardiani]

I have an MP4 Movie 700 MB, and it is with 2 Audio Tracks and a Subtitle.
How can i burn to DVD or VCD without removing Audios and Subtitles.

Thx for understanding.

Don't know much about that, but I do know VCD only supports one audio track, so you must get rid of one of them.

You might try ConvertXToDVD. It does well with subtitles and multiple audio streams for conversion to DVD.

Another Program, plz.
I tried CovertXtoDVD but it shown an error, i don't know what or why.

Not really, but you can always do hard subs (render the suntitles into the video itself) as you reencode it to VCD mpg. That's the only way to do VCD subs.

I would first try dropping the video into Gspot 2.60 and seeing what it has to say about it. If ConvertX has an error, there may be a problem with the file that similar programs will also have.

Another way to check it is VirtualDub Mod. It should show info about the video and the audio streams and allow you to resave it if there are errors.

The subtitles can also be converted to other formats if needed for DVD or VCD. I would look in our subtitle forum for advice if that appears to be the problem.

The VCD format is limited for converting a more complex video with subs and multiple audio. Not really recommended. VCD will likely take two CDs also for the whole video if the running time is very long.

You could mix each soundtrack to mono, then load them up in an audio editor as L and R for a "karaoke-style" (split personality) soundtrack...

This is an advanced topic for a new user. It's one of those things where if you have to ask how to do it, it's not going to be very easy for you.

For converting to VCD -
1) Use VirtualDubMod to demux the audio and video into separate programs. Find some guides on VirtualDubMod to know how to do this.
2) Encode your video stream to VCD and use "hard" subtitles. This means that the subtitles are part of the video image and CANNOT be turned off. There are guides at this website under "Subtitles" to tell you how to do this.
3) Convert your audio to 44.1 Khz MPEG 1 layer II audio with a bit rate of 224 or 195 Kbps. If you record each language to mono and have a good audio editor, you can put one language on the left channel and the other language on the right channel. When you play the VCD, you will need to select which channel to listen to. If you want stereo sound, then pick one language and convert the audio from the MP4 to stereo MPEG-1 layer II audio.
4) Author (that means "create") the VCD. I recommend VCDEasy. It will create a BIN/CUE image file that you can burn with something like Nero.

There are programs that can automate the conversion to VCD like DVD2SVCD, but you will have fewer options. For example, you must pick one language to convert and that's all it will do.
