Convert AVI, Xvid, DivX to DVD

hey.. i'm a rookie and was wondering how to convert a XVID file into a VCD.. i tried using TMPGenc and was successful, except the was only sound for the first 9 seconds.. can anyone help me please?!

 

Hey there, I'm new to all this, but Ive been reading...
I downloaded a dvd in .avi format, then converted it to mpeg with tmpgenc, then used tmpgenc dvd author to convert to .vob/.bup files etc, then i burnt them using nero 6. I dont get any error messages, but when I play it on my dvd player, there is no sound, does anyone know what step I have missed?

 

AVIcodec v1.1.0.4
AVIcodec is a nice little tool for identifying what codecs you need in order to play your multimedia files. Program supports MPEG-1/2, AVI, Ogg, ASF, WMV, etc formats. download / software tab at top of page.

you may just need a codec.

 

I am having an audio problem. I followed the guide to the letter. Checked the codecs, used TMPG, then used IFOedit and then burnt with Nero burning rom as stated in the guide but can't get audio. Picture is great but no sound. I know the file has audio as it will play on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Have you tested the VOB files for audio? You can play them using BS Player.

 

Sorry to be ignorant but what is BS player? Do you mean BeSweet? If that is it I am such in idiot that I can't get it to work in anything but DOS mode. Send Help please.

 

I did try playing the VOB using Windows Media Player and no sound there. I don't if that tells you anything.

 

when I say BS Player, I mean BS Player. BeSweet is an audio tool and it has a GUI if you don't already know. I don't use WMP, so I don't know how it handles VOB. If you want to make sure, search for BS player and try it. If it still doesn't have audio, then the audio isn't compatible with TMPGEnc. Could you tell me the codec of the original and the codec you converted it to?

 

did you try this search? found lots of answers here. plus plugins I never knew about for TMPGEnc. a million thanks to all.

about 806 from forums.afterdawn.com for TMPGEnc.

I downloaded the AVIcodec, but I'm not fully sure of what its meant to tell me? I opened the video_ts folder that contains the dvd files and it says codec name mpeg 2(svcd/dvd) but down the bottom it says:
File:1023 MB(0.0 B),duration:1:21:57,type:MPG, 0 audio stream(s), quality: 74 %
Is this why I'm getting no sound? Im sorry, i appreciate your help...=o)

 

re divxtodvd new version 4

Thanks Lapinou,

The new version is indeed much better. It can encode xvid files that earlier versions chocked on. The audio lag issue is still there, but it's greatly reduced. Picture quality is excellent, given the speed at which it works.

My biggest issue: many xvid files seem to be encoded at 23.98 frames per second and converting to 30 fps introduces a very noticeable stutter. Is this going to be addressed in future releases?

Thanks.

 

hello i am using a programm called TMPGEnc Plus 2.5

But i have'nt got a clue how to work it.Find it hard to use.

I want to convert a avi to mpeg.To work on a dvd-r.I click pal but the file move to 4gib.The file is 720megs.I was told i must lower the file down.

I click video and put the file there.But am not sure about the audio part.How does this work.

Am convert files say 700megs avi to mpeg to work on a dvd-r.

 

dizzyr:

Click on the guides tab. There are several guides there that explain the ins an outs of using TMPGEnc. If you have specific questions, you can also use the search function to check these forums as there are many threads on TMPEnc.

 

@BLC
yes, that would be why you have no audio. The audio stream from the original file is not getting encoded with the video for some reason. You may have to demux the original and then mux it with TMPGEnc.

 

Hi,
I followed the steps in the guide and got the proper results each time. However, when I put the disc in my DVD-player, it just keeps saying "Loading" (usually it plays about 2 seconds after the DVD Loads). What might be the problem? Thx.

p.s. Because I have only 128mb ram, I didn't choose the 'highest quality' option in TMPGEnc Plus under the MPEG Setting tab. I used the next level down (and this took about 36 hrs!!!) Anyway, would this be the reason for the problem I'm having? Thx.

damn, I hate spammers.

Arya11,
This might be caused by your player not supporting the kind of DVDR you burned your movie with. Is it +R or -R? You may need to check its compatibility and see if it is compatible or not.

 

free program
DivxToDVD converts your movie files from a wide range of formats (AVI, XVID, MPEG, and DIVX) to compliant DVD structures (VOB and IFO). You can then burn them with CopyToDVD( or what ever) and watch the movie via a DVD Player. Version 0.4.2 corrects a problem of file dependency

Yeah, anyone willing to try out that VSO software should go ahead. Its still in testing phase, so you might encounter some problems. You should probably only use it if you have a faster computer and a lot of time to devote to transcoding incase anything goes wrong.
