hi. i have this file montypython.avi, which is encoded in divx avi. i used tmpgenc to convert to an mpeg-1 which is 352x420. ive tried everything in the forums to make a vcd out of this. however, my dvd player always says that it cannot play this disc. I know it supports vcd's, cause my cuzin made a vcd, and played it in my player. It said vcd 2.0 on the top if that helps. anyhoo, ive tried everything and cant make a good vcd. Ive first used vision express to try and burn the mpg, but it didn't work. then i tried to make a bin/cue file with VCD gear. i then burned that with nero. it still didn't work. the "vcd" it made had these folders: cdi --> cdi_imag.rtf, cdi_text.fnt, cdi_vcd.app, cdi_vcd.cfg ext --> lot_x.vcd, psd_x.vcd, scandata.dat mpegav --> avseqo1.dat segment --> (empty) vcd --> entries.vcd, info.vcd, lot.vcd, psd.vcd when comparing it to my cousins vcd, his has actual mpeg files in mpegav folder. i dont have a clue what to do and im running out of cd's. ive followed the 100% thread, with no luck as i said. Maybe i need to make a 2.0 vcd or something? Any help would be appreciated! thanks *edit: do i have to take the dat file from mpegav, use vcdgear to go to dat-->mpeg, and then that mpeg-->cue/bin? It seems a little like going in circles to me, but is that what u have to do? Will it again burn a dat file in mpegav, or this time an mpeg file? thanks
Im new to all this so i try to tell u what i did and see if it works cause mine are playin with no problem First forget nero they wouldnt play when i made them with nero 1) Convert the avi to a mpeg2 NOT a mpeg1 using TMPGEn U can make it a mpeg2 by clicking other settings on tmpgenc on the video tab under stream type 2) load vcd gear , find the mpeg and do a mpeg > mpeg conversion make sure "fix mpeg errors" is checked After the click the video cd tab still on vcd gear and find the fixed mpeg than convert it to a cue/bin file 3) Burn the cue/bin file on a program called burnatonce (free program) should play in your dvd player no problem does for me everytime let me know how it works out burnatonce http://www.burnatonce.com/cgi-bin/ShotGun/ShotGun.cgi?ammo=burnatonce
i dont want to convert to svcd for two reasons. 1) i'll have to put on 3 disks instead of 2 2) i cant get it widescreen, even if i make it 16:9 i already converted to mpeg1. I am stuck. How do i make it so the mpeg is actually in the mpegav folder? i think thats what my problem is. ive tried making this a bin/cue and burning it w/ no luck. do i have to convert this mpeg to mpeg and then to a bin/cue? is there any way i could maybe burn an mpeg1 to an svcd, w/o converting to mpeg2, so that i could still fit more data? thanks
well if u wanna be able to fit more data on a disc u can make a kvcd which i do and u can fit up to 2 hours on 1 disc and quality is still good to make a kvd u need to download KVCD Templates for TMPGEnc than after u download the KVCD Templates extract them and copy them into the "TMPGEnc Templates folder" it should explain it better here its where i learned to do it http://www.weethet.nl/english/video_kvcd_intro.php than after u do that u should be able to the make the mpeg2 and fit the data u need on 1 disc no problem hope this helps if not im sorry like i said i new to this myself
wil it still work in my dvd player? do i select the KVCD or KSVCD template? Ive changed my mind and really dont care anymore about if it fits on however many disks. I tried to make an SVCD NTSC film, but the audio and picture were very out of sync. I tried using virtual dub adn make a wav file, but the audio was very our of sync then. Plase help me.
yeah if u dvd player supports vcds than it shoulf play kvcd or ksvcds download the whole pack of templates u can choose either one u want kvcd or ksvcd I usually make KVCD-CQ-352x240 NTSCFILM PLUS But u can choose whateva one u want
