i can not get my head around seperating audio from the visual. i have succesfuly made a m2v file using tmpgenc ... er wat and how do i use to make a audio file? I have done a wav file .. but if i do then i can`t get my film on to a 4.7gb dvd disc. Is there another way to encode audio? It sounds simple.. maybe its me thats being thick .. help please .. andy
ok andy first off 1)open up virtuadub program 2)open your avi file in it 3)set audio to full processing mode 4)select file>save wav that will create your wav from video file 5)once you have your wav file open up tmpgenc where it says video add your video then under it put in your wav file under audio then encode in tmpgenc as usual but b4 you press ok to encode make sure you select output audio and video as seperate elementary streams once it finishes encoding you should have 1)movie.m2v 2)movie.mp2 then rename movie.mp2 to movie.mpa then what i do anyway is open up ifoedit select>dvd author>put in your video and audio files then it will create your vob,ifo,bup files to then be burned onto a dvd-r hope that helps graham
Cheers Graham ... I`m using Nero tp burn my DVD-R .. It does burn onto one disc .. however .. putting in my PC-DVD rom & my stand alone DVD player they both came up with either "DVD has unsupported files, or .. Bad disc" ... any further ideas? or do you think it was a one off bad disc... cheers .. andy
hi andy when you author your m2v and mpa (video and audio)files do you get all the correct files e.g. something like this VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_0,IFO VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_01_4.VOB i used nero myself andy and made more coasters than dvd discs lol i know use a simple but brilliant dvd burning software called http://www.copytocd.com/ it's brilliant just select make dvd disc then select where your vob,ifo,bup files are and it burns away no problem graham
Thanks for the info Graham. copyto dvd : when i copy my files into it .. its says theres an error & closed itself? .. but then i can only download the 30 day trial version ...any ideas ??? ... P.s .. the info on how to tranfer stuff has really helped andy
hi andy dould you give me a list of the files you have and in what order and we'll see where to go from there graham
here`s my list i have been trying to do a dvd with:M2v file . video TS.Bup . VTS_01_0.bup - Vts_01_1.bup - VTS01_1.vob - VTS01_2.vob - VTS01_3.vob - & a c2c file ofcoure with that .mpa file as well
hi andy took a lokk at the files you have and you don't seem to have any ifo files but you do have your m2v and mpa files good do you have ifoedit at all? if not - http://www.ifoedit.com/ download the latest ifoedit 1)on your desktop create a new folder called DVD movies or something 2)put in that folder 2 other folders called AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS 3)open up ifoedit select>DVD author>author new dvd> 4)under video select your m2v file 5)under audio select your mpa file 6)at the bottom select your destination as DVD movies>VIDEO_TS folder then press ok it will noe create your files which should look like this VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_0,IFO VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_01_4.VOB then you can click on the ifo files and play them with your dvd playing software to check it out from there you can use copy to dvd to burn to a blanc dvd-r let me know how you go graham
Done evereything you said. All files are present .. They play in win media. When i put it through copytocd . it says file too big for dvd ... Its only a disney movie not that long .. ive got other dvd`s bought from the market .. longer then my movie & they are on 4.7 discs ????
U D A T E : ok redone authoring .. copied files into Video_ts. Hurrah ! it fits on to one DVD .. Plays on the pc internal dvd player BUT alas wont play on the stand alone .. Which plays anything usualy .. mp3 Vcd .. er toast etc.. but when ya place the freshly done dvd in it .. comes up with DVD .. then doesn`t do anything else???? ... Aint i a pain Andy
lol least were gettin closer to the problem lol.there is one more thing that could be the problem and prodbally is a major factor the brand of dvd-r discs you are using.i have used loads and some play in my playstation 2 and not in my standalones and vice versa the ones im using just now play in both my standalone dvd players but not on the ps2 so i opted to stick with them cos at least they play in the dvd players.the good thing though is you still have your files in the VIDEO_TS folder so when you got different discs you just need to do a burn no more ripping needing done hope that helps graham
yip i`m getting there .. many thanks ... So er! this is running before i can walk .. but??? er i have another AVI file .. with Ac3 sound ... uummmm do i use the same method for encoding .. ok ok i know i should concentrate on gettin one dvd done first hehe .. but this has really helped me understand what i`m doing now.. i`m going to try another brand of dvd-r to see if that works ...
Ive got two towers in Xvid ??? now why does that sounds like its not goona be easy? I also have a Divx movie ... er sounds like i need to buy you some headache tablets?
U P D A T E ... #2 .. Done another DVD of the original movie .. & it still wont play in my standalone DVD player .. even tho i used another dvd brand ?????? Things aint never easy are they? Andy
Just checked my other DVD`s that i have bought & they are also DVD-r ??????? ok back to being bewildered again now??

Blimey ! so glad i asked now!! thanks for the guide . i`l look at that once i have made my first ever working dvd on my standalone ... not going to run the marathon until i can walk. Thanks for your help tho graham. Andy
no problem Andy hope that it helps ya mind post back when you make your first copy work on your dvd take care graham
Hi Graham. Update: Still no luck in playing stand alone dvd players .. tried three seperate machines & they all start by saying DVD .. then it stops .. it doesn`t seem to recognise above the first file .. it dont see the subfolder etc. gone through 6 discs using all different styles & formats .. to no avail cheers Andy
