480x480 M2V file to NTSC VCD MPEG?

[jick]

I have TMPGEnc 2.59 and just downloaded m2v_vfp-0.4.6.ZIP encoder. First I don't know how to install it to my TMPGEnc. Second, my TMPGEnc cannot read the m2v files I am trying to open, saying it is unsupported. By the way it is the m2v/mpg file that is 480x480 in dimension. What software do I need to convert this? I want to make it into a VCD compliant mpeg. Thanks in advace for your replies.

Simply copy it to the TMPG directory. (tmpgenc.exe and m2v.vfp must be in the same dir)
I am not sure whether the audio support is stable now.
Start TMPGEnc. and load the video source. Select options > enviromental (global) settings > VFAPIplugin. Increase the priority of the m2v plugin.

Now I got a new problem, how do I open LZH files? Don't they have it in ZIP?

Thanks.

LZH is opened by winrar and i think by winace .. theres some free decompressors out there also ... LZH is a good compression format ...

whats this for exactly anyway since mpeg2 support is by powerdvd or ligos?

i mean - is it really nessessary for something , since one can open mpeg files as it ... or is this in replacement of Powerdvd or ligos?

Yeah, there is no audio support yet. Do you have any suggestions on how to extract the audio only of the m2v file and convert it to WAV? Thanks!

hmm...I just did a short test with the MPEG-2 plugin and Avisynth. I did it with Avisynth because I wanted to be sure, that this plugin loads the audio and not a different direct show filter (I have installed windvd).

After that it seems, that m2v.vfp support audio quite well.
However, if that does not work for you, demux the audio with dvd2avi (audio > mpeg audio > demux) and decompress it to wav with TMPGEnc.(file > output to file > wav file)

@ BJ_M, yes, it is just a replacement.

The problems I had with audio was with a file that had a "mpg" extension but was mpeg-2. I figured a way around it, by recording the audio in an analog manner to a WAV file in Soundforge as it was playing in my media player. So I used this WAV file for the VCD compliant mpeg. I did get to load a file with an m2v extension (not sure of the dimensions) and the audio worked out well.

Thanks for all the info and help.

you could have just opened the mpg file in soundforge directly - audio or otherwise...

I got around it in TMPGEnc by using the MPEG Tools and doing a Simple De-multiplex of the .mpg file. Then I loaded the .mpg as the video source and the .mp2 file i got from the de-mulitplex as the audio source.
