Enocode Twice ?????

[Norfy]

Can somebody please help?

If I encode an film with TMPGenc (which takes a good while ) then try to burn it with Nero, Nero will always want to encode it again( another couple of hours ). Can this be right or are there certain settings I can use on Nero to stop it encoding again.
Do I have to use the VCD settings on Nero? It does it on every film that I encode and seems such a waste of time?

Please help?

Thanks

use the vcd template with tmpgenc. then nero will not want to re-encode. never use nero to encode it's crap at it

never use nero to encode it's crap at it

that is an understatement. nero really does suck at encoding. I always uncheck the "make compliant cd" box so nero wont even give me the message that its not proper and asks if you want nero to encode.

Hi,

thanks to you both, but me being such a dumb ass is still a bit perplexed ????
So I do an encode with TMPGenc - then encode with nero but uncheck the bit where it says 'make compliant vcd'? and also the CDi bit? and this will stop it encoding again?

Wowwww soooo coooool

cheers to both of you

Just make sure that when you encode it the first time with TMPGEnc, that you load a VCD template so that the resulting mpeg file is VCD compliant. Nero should then burn with no warning message and no reencoding.

thanks Craigtucker

I made a template for burning onto a single VCD as per the guides over there <----------- hehehe

i used it a couple of times, to encode films then got fed up with Nero doing it again. So I just started using Nero straight without TMPGenc. Nero always throws up the warnings even though I have used TMPGenc. Guess this is the part where i uncheck the CD Compliant and CDi bit and just burn?

[Craig Tucker]

Yes, what you are creating is an XVCD, because this is not within the strict VCD specifications nero warns you that it is non compliant. You need to select ignore this message and burn anyway without reencoding and you will have an XVCD.

thanks again craigtucker

Can i just trouble you with 1 more Question?

I have a perfect d/l of panic room. It played in DivxPlayer and WMP perfectly but when i burned a copy (using Nero to encode ....duh...) I played it in my DVD and it was upside down !!!! hmmmmm did i put it in the wrong way...hahaha..just j/k.....any ideas?

[lpn1160]

why not just use vcdeasy,d\l from the tools section along with forceaspi & then you can burn your vcd,xvcd, svcd or whatever with chapters.
read the guides on burning vcd's with vcdeasy. does anyone really still use nero to burn vcd's?? (LOL)

Thanks IPN

Just d/l it now to give it a try. Us newbies don't like to try to much different at first for fear for f&*%ing up the pc......still shit happens I suppose...lol...I'll keep trying and who knows...one day i may just get this damn thing right !!!!!

Thanks for your help !!
