MyDVD-Finally found a use for it.

MyDVD came with my burner so I wasn't foolish enough to buy it. It gets plenty of well deserved critisim. I discovered that it very useful in converting SVCD's to DVD-R format. It will accept and convert SVCD if they were encoded at a DVD compliant resolution. It will accept the 44100 audio without re-sampleing. I've tried it to convert SVCD's made at 352x240 and 720x480 both with 44100 audio. Your limited to three SVCD disks per DVD-R because it converts the audio to PCM which I guess is the reason it will accept the 44100 audio. As a result an 800MB SVD becomes 1.33Gb's. It is surprisingly fast in it's creation of the VIDEO_TS directory for burning. It does not convert the video and the PCM conersion is very fast.
I tried Ulead Movie Factory 2 but it wants to encode the video and the audio and is therfore painfully slow.

Erm, SVCDs are 480x480/576 which isn't a DVD compliant resolution.

OK... I think he ment X(S)VCD (as per this site) or non-starnard SVCD/VCD. Point is that it will take "DVD compliant resolution". I guess.
