    Hi Folks

    I've got a bunch of movies that ive been trying to burn for an age now. finally thought i had it cracked but am lacking any ifo & bup files - just have the mpegs. some ive converted with avs, some with winmpg. i know nero 6 needs these files to burn and i cant figure how. i've tmpgenc dvd author - but can't figure out how to make it achieve what i want.

    apologies if this is real basic, but am at a loss - any help much apreciated

    as i've read here on the forum, i;ve tried running the mpegs through TMPGenc dvd author (in the hope of it generating necessary vob, bup files to burn to DVD), but i keep getting error: the video sequence header is incorrect / a video sequence header is necessary for every GOP in a standard dvd. what is a GOP?! am i working with the right programme to do what i want?

    someone, please help...!

    You are right that you should use somthing like Tmpgenc to convert your files about. But did you first find out what format the file are in (i.e. PAL or NSTC - You need to know the FPS).

    If you did check this out before starting are you then trying to convert the files to the other format (say PAL to NTSC) while you are using Tmpgenc? As I dont think this will work.

    Edit - Also try shortening the file name / path, that might cause you problems.

    ah, not checked, how do i do find pal/ntsc? (sorry, real 1st timer here).

    will the author prog output the necessary .vob files etc if i can get it to work? is it then just a straight burn?

    thanks for helping
