I have been reading for weeks on the countless methods to make a DVD into a SVCD and I finally felt I had enough info to attempt it. I used DVD2SVCD software, as well as TMPGENC to encode and Fireburn to burn the cd. To make a long story short, to my amazement the SVCD played in my standalone DVD player. I had to figure out how to change titles, because the remote wasn't working, but that is because it was now labeled "index" and I had to go to a submenu to change the indexes. At any rate, everything was working PERFECTLY, sound and picture, and I was utterly amazed at how clear the picture was. I used my 25th anniversary Jaws DVD to make a back up copy on SVCD's. The first thing I noticed before burning the .bin files is that there were only two .bin files and both of them were well over 700 MB. One was 774 MB, the other was 804 MB. I realized the size of these files After burning them. I was surprised that Fireburn would burn files over 700 MB on a 700 MB cd, but it did. The SVCD was playing great, but on "BOTH" SVCD disks, Jaws 1 of 1, and Jaws 1 of 2, in the middle of the disk the frame just freezes and the time keeps elapsing on the dvd player. I can't go to ANY "indexes" after the freeze point, I can only go to indexes before it and start them over. Can anybody please tell me if this has anything to do with the size of the two files I burned on the disk? If not, any other ideas? Thank in advance.
