How do I make a Mpeg 1 compliant video

[Roy47]

I want to make a Mpeg 1 compliant video that will load into Movie Factory without the need for re-encoding

Do you want it to be mpeg1 vcd or dvd compliant?

[Roy47]

I would like it so that Movie factory will except as an Mpeg 1 and just convert the audio to 48khz and then write it to a DVD, I have tried VCD and MF goes thro the full conversion

Did you select same system as the source in MF? NTSC(29,976 fps) or PAL(25.fps), if you change from NTSC to PAL or vice versa will MF reeencode.

Is the mpeg1 resolution within the dvd standard? 352x240 or 352x288

If it is NTSC film(23,976 fps) then will mf reencode cause it is not a valid mpeg1 dvd.


Use MF to check the source info when adding the mpeg.

This is video data, I have MF set for PAL and it still recodes

Video Type MPEG 1
Total Frames 81,591
Attributes 24bits 352 x 288
Frame rate 25.000
data rate 1150

Then it should work. Are you using the latest moviefactory 2?
