Trying to convert MPEG2 file to work in a Philips 5980 DVD player

[JohnWB]

I have an file with the following characteristics which plays fine on my PC, that I am trying to play in a Philips 5980 DVD player but it only comes up with small blocks of colours & lines etc . Does anyone know what I need to do or haow to convert it so it can play. Most conversion programs say they do not recognise it

Video: MPEG2 Video 720x576 (16:9)
25.00fps 6500Kbps [Video]
Audio: MPEG Audio 48000Hz stereo 256Kbps [Audio]
Subtitle: DVD Subpicture [Subtitle]

Try author it as a dvd-video(vob,ifo,bup files) with tmpgenc dvd author or free tools like dvdauthorgui,guifordvdauthor or muxman.

Thanks for the advice, i tried a few different things & one programme said that i needed to demux the file which i did. I could then convert it to vobs and make a DVD. The DVD played fine but the sound was not the programme (Torchwood) but was some sort of directors commentry just saying that one of the actors was walking down a corridor etc. Does anyone have any idea how to get the correct sound track.

When you demuxed did you get several audio tracks? Then use different audio track when you author.

But if you just got one audio track it's probably just the directory comment in your video....find a new source.
