HEADER TRICK QUESTION

[LioCraft]

Hi there,
I've done my first SVCD (w/header trick) in order to play it on my Sony Stand Alone DVD.
I did it frameserving from virtualdub + subtitles filter, Encoded in TMPGEnc. After that, I did cut each MPG file using TMPGEnc and finally did the header trick to each of the 4 new files.
Here is where the question appears.....when cutting the file in TMPGEnc, you have the choice to select the type of file….if I chose “MPG-1 Video-CD (non-standard)” would it be the same that cutting & then multiplexing?....would this be a cutting & header tricking single operation?

Thx for the help.

I don't know if this was a stupid question, or nobody wanted to spend a couple ofr minutes helping me....but, if someone there wants to know...IT WARKED. So you can cut & do the header trick in just 1 pass.

Maybe nobody who had tried it read your post. Anyway, thanks for trying it and posting the results! 8)

The problem is that cutting with TMPGEnc produce lack of last 20 secs of sound on the resulting files.

That can happen when cutting mpegs. I always use the source range function, and I batch encode to avoid cutting. 8)
