Four Easy SVCD question (I guess)

[lnetzel]

I encoded an DivX into SVCD using TMPGenc 12h. I used the NTSC SVCD template which gives a Constant Bit Rate coding, then I realized the files I got did'nt fit on CDs So I had to chopand merge two SVCD files into three... and I used the MPEG tools in TMPGenc. 12h are supporting MPEG-2 I have heared.

In MPEG tools there are nor MPEG-2 CBR to choose from, only MPEG-2 VBR, and Program... so I chosed VBR...

Then time to turn, Nero did'nt complain... but my DVD player said it could'tn play disc... WHY? It's a samsung 611 which i played a Selfmade SVDC (made with TMPGenc) the other day... the only difference this time was that I used the MPEG tools in TMPGenc...

1. Did something weird happen when i chosed VBR on CBR file during the cut/merge?

2. What should I have chosed instead?

3. Are there better cutters for MPEG-2 files then TMPGenc?

4. What should I use for a SVCD, CBR or VBR?

Very interestin.


I have seen this.


On top of cut and join, did you select "MPEG2 SVCD Standard"

[lnetzel]

No, since the only to choices I have with MPEG-2 is

MPEG-2 Program (VBR)
MPEG-2 Super VideoCD (VBR)

I was hoping I would have a MPEG-2 Standard or something but I don't.

So the problem remains!
