    OK, I know there have been numerous posts regarding this, but I was hoping someone has had a similar problem and I wanted to know of any viable solutions. I have the Matrix on PAL SVCD 3 discs. I turned it into 2 Elementary Streams .m2v for video and mpa for audio. The problem is when I use TMPGEnc plus v2.5 to encode to NTSC it chops of the last minute or so of the file. I am loading the SuperVideoCD (NTSC).mcf i have alos tried the SuperVideoCD (NTSC FILM).mcf file. and nothing. Any suggestions?

    Try source range, click setting and click the advanced tab, select source range then double click source range and click "move to start frame" click "set start frame" click "move to end frame" and click " set end frame" that might just stoip it from cutting off the last minute!

    Hey...had the same problem as you and finally figure it out. I made them so the will play in my DVD player PAL SVCD -> NTSC DVD.

    1. Make sure the 3 cd movies are not in bin form, I'm going to use .mpg for example. You can extract the mpg from the bin with ISOBuster, plus have a lot of space on your HD

    2. Use TMPGEnc and go to File -> Tool and join the 3 movies (should be on the far right tab). Chose all three mpg and join them. When completed, close and make a folder (Matrix Merged) and drop that big mpg movie into it.

    3. Make a folder called (Matrix DVD Process)

    4. Now open TMPGEnc and reset your project, then go to Project Wizard (File -> Project Wizard), and chose DVD NTSC, and keep following the prompts, and for your destination project chose the (Matrix DVD Process) folder. It will take awhile, so relax.

    *after you get familiar with this process you can make adjustment, but for now you can keep the default*

    5. Now you will have two things in your (Matrix DVD Process) folder and .m2v and a .mpg(audio).

    6. I use "DVD Lab to author them, but you can use anything you want since you have the files you need. TMPGEnc did all of the converting for you SVCD PAL -> whatever you chose at the begining.

    Note: Read the TMPGEnc guide you will need install Besweet and something else that I forgot :)

    Good Luck
