HI, i have a load of mpegs that i want to watch on my dvd player.Trouble is my dvd player doesnt play mpegs. is there anyway i can watch them by burning the mpeg clips as some other files etc?? what program do i use? is ther any other solution?? thanks
They need to be in proper mpeg-2 format, and they need to be authored. Try ReJig to author them. If you want menus and such, you'll have to get something more advanced, like DVDLab or Tmpgenc DVD Author. If you have Nerovision Express, or Ulead movie factory, they'll do it too.
If you use DVDLab and you had simple MPEG-1 (VCD) movies, it will author them in a DVD with no need to convert them , since DVD players can also play VCDs (and so play MPEG-1 files, once authored in a VCD). Converting them would be a waste of time, since garbage in = garbage out, and you'd spend much more disc room without gaining quality (1' movie = 10 MB for MPEG-1/VCD or 15 MB for MPEG-2/SVCD or 30 MB for MPEG-2/DVD).
if your player has the ability to view jpegs, theres a good chance you can just burn it as data file and play them back.
If you're actually authoring them to DVD (like DVD-Lab does) it may also be necessary to make some changes to the GOP structure since many VCDs use longer GOPs than the DVD standard allows. My understanding is that Womble's MPEG editors (ie MPEG-VCR or Video Wizard) can 'fix' the GOPs to make them DVD compliant. OTOH as Aldaco12 pointed out the hardware (MPEG decoder) of any DVD player is capable of playing VCD video. Some require DVD authoring and others (probably the majority) can play them authored as VCDs.
I got a problem. I have mpegs files that i want to author with TMPGenc but, the problem is that my files are 320x240, 640 x480 and framerates like 29.97 and 23.976 that doesnt match the video file (??) so does anyoneknow how to change/ convert the resolution so that i can import it to Tmpgenc dvd author??
