changed topic to how can i create a vfapi-avi ?

[corob4]

creating a .vdr file from a svcd made with tmpg so i can use the .vdr file in tscv for menu work. i have been unable to creat this type of file any direction or help.

i have been useing paint and photoshop and doing it the very long way for still and motion menus and then just adding to tscv but again its a very long proccess.
i would like to use the built in features as it gives you the screen shot and a more pro look to the menus?

i dont start from dvd or vob only from svcd or avi files mostly use tmpg to convert or have started with cce but not much on that last on.

thanks

sorry i am a putz.. it was a long day

i really need to creat a vfapi-avi file for tscv to use durning menu work?

i have tryed using VFAPIConv-EN.exe but when i press add jobs it only looks for .tpr files and i think i need avi or mpg . i would prefer .mpg ? but avi would be ok too.

i belive this program is suppost to make a small 10mb or so file of the info of the movie so i can use it for menu work

thanks for the replys i am sorry i screwed up the orginal topic

If it's the VDR file I know, it's what VirtualDub creates as "sign post" when frameserving. In that case, get a ver of VDub that reads MPEG2. Then start a frame server, that by default ends in .vdr
Or, even better maybe, use the source file (the one you encoded with TMPGEnc) and frame serve this.

I'm not sure if this applies.

But when I frameserve from VirtualDub to TMPGEnc, I save the file not as a .VDR but as a .AVI

I then open that .AVI file in TMPGEnc. It works.
