How can I change the res of non-complient Mpeg files?.

Ok, I've been trying to find the answer for the last few days while I've been waiting to be able to post on this matter. But still I've not found a direct solution to what is a very frustrating matter for me. Let me explain my problem.

I'm recording from a DVB sat card. Now I'm recording in both PVA & Mpeg video formats, but the problem seems common on both.

Now when I've recorded a film I'm then wanting to write it to DVD-R via my Pioneer A05.

But the problem is that a lot of the files are coming up as non-complient files & I'm asked to select a complient DVD/VCD/SVCD file. Now I know there is not a problem with the authoring program or writer as a certain set of channels have no problems writing to DVD-R as I know them to be a complient file via the res of them. I checked this using PVAstrumento. This can detail the res of both PVA & Mpeg files.

The most common res of a file that is giving me problems is 544 x 576. This is common for a lot of films I have stored on my now full hdd.

So I really need to alter the res of thses files to a complient one. A higher res if possable so that I can retain the original quality that would no doubt be lost from going to a lower res.

If there is a program or a guide that can give me direct details on how to do just this bit I'd be most greatfull on knowing how it is done.

Does anyone have any answers or suggestions on this matter ?.

There is more than just screen size to make them compliant, Load TMPGEnc, then load the different templates, the bottom window will show you what is required for each type.

Trying the above suggestion now KingJohn.

Is it supposed to take so long?. I'm only using a 2 min sample & it seems to need about 30 mins for the job. Is this correct as it would take forever to do a 90min film.

Is there no quicker way to get the job done?.

Well I dont know what your original file is, you may need to re-encode it all over again ??

Well the sample file is Mpeg at a res of 544 x 576. I would assume that all I need to do is correct the res of the file so it'll play in my standalone dvd player?.

Most files I have seem to be in this res & it's that alone that is causing me problems.
