I had two files formatted as VCD and used TMPG to join them. For the burning of the output VCD, I was using Nero 6 to burn the VCD. A message appeared in Nero 6 stating “They were not the correct format for VCD and did I want to recode.” Previously I had burnt one of the files to VCD using Nero 6, without a problem. When joining in TMPG, does the format change or am I doing something wrong. I thought it was only a case of joining the two VCD files, then burn the output file to CD. I would appreciate some advise on doing this. kevsim
The question is: which kind of files are they? Are they (1) 'ripped riff files' (AVSEQ001.DAT----MPEG-1 or AVSEQ001.MPG----MPEG-2), (2) simple .MPGs which are MPEG-1 files (from a VCD) or (3) .MPGs which are MPEG-2 files (from a SVCD)? Second: did you choose as Type 'MPEG-1 Video CD' when you used TMPGenc's [bold]MPEG Tools[/bold] or not? Third, [bold]avoid Nero at all costs[/bold], it's a lousy application for VCDs (I wrote a 'sticky' thread to teach you all how to do it). _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Read forum rules! http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487[/small]
aldaco12, Thanks for the info. The original video was taken using a digital video camera. I edited the video using (Puremotion, Edit Studio,great programme), then did a build in VCD and burnt a VCD on CD/RW using Nero 6. The video looked and played OK on my domestic DVD player,however, I made a small error in the video and wanted to correct it. I then built the video up to the mistake in VCD(not very long). I placed both videos in TMPG cut the section I did not need and joined both together, this did not take very long. I placed the completed file in Nero 6 to burn a VCD and a message stated "Incorrect format for VCD." What my original query was, Puremotion encodes in the correct format for VCD and burns OK. Is there a way with TMPG, where I can join without having to go througth the rebuild process again. I would appreciate your advise. kevsim
Maybe you had in MPEG Tools as 'Type' a 'MPEG-1 System' (Default)? Try using 'MPEG-1 Video-CD' instead.
