Here goes my question (deep breath) Opened TMPGEnc > DVD PAL (just that) > Video File_Behind Enemy Lines.avi > Audio File_I Left this (had no audio to give it)...left everything else alone > Souce Range_Tick_Move to start frame & Set frame...Move to end frame & set end frame...OK Other Settings_I think all I changed in here was FULL SCREEN_kept it at full screen Next screen_I changed 99.99% disc capacity to 99.0% (4.10Gb)...i left everything alse i think although i would have checked what drop down options were. OUTPUT FILE_D:\Behind Enemy Lines.[m2v+wav]...start encoding immeadiately. I checked the box HIGHEST QUALITY somewhere in the process too (cant remember at which moment) 17hrs 30mins later I have a Behind Enemy Lines - Wave Sound 1,163,791 Behind Enemy Lines - M2V File 3,061,011 What do I do with these to make ready for a DVD-R ? I've not done this before so back to a n00b in a way...have I got to demuxremux the thing together to make a mp2 DVD compliant file ready for Nero [or other] ??
Sorry Herbie, I have had limited access over the pasy couple of days, busy, you know Anyway TMPGEnc does not author DVDs for you, it simply creates a compatible MPEG2 video file, which then needs to be split into 1GB vobs (which standalones can handle) and ifo files etc. This is done using software like Ulead's Movie Factory. So once you have your MPEG2 video file, load up Ulead and author your DVD. Leave your audio as it is, then burn with Nero Paul.
Cheers for advise homeboy. Malum suggested maybe DVD Architect (only problem $'s) So I've checked out SonicFoundry Vegas4.0+DVD It seems ALL THAT mate : ) Downloaded the manuals and they are about 10meg for Vegas4+DVD Architect...gonna take me days to trawl through all relevant info!
