Yes....But it doesn"t Produce as good of Quality and it doesn"t have as Many options as Tmpgenc.... what problems were you haveing with Tmpgenc???
I have created an mpg-2 file but the extension is MPG, not m2v and AC3???? TMPG has expired it's 30 day trial... that's why...
Well WinAVI creates Mpeg file that have audio and Video in them which is what ".mpg" files are.... You can re-Install Tmpgenc if you clean out your registery of all Mention of Tmpgenc and Pegassus.....There are also Old versions of Tmpgenc that were 100% Free..... Pluss there are ways to get software free if you Know how to do it and were to look...... Cheers
Okay... thnx for your info... Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, I always thought of MPG-2 files of 2 different split files: audio & video (audio AC3 or MP3, and video m2v). That's why I was puzzled when I found this only one MPG file with both audio and video! All guides I've read talk about different streams, and this file has both. That's why I was puzzled... Thnx for your tips
Actually Most Encoder will give you the Option of encodeing to seperate elementary streams or to a Mpeg Program stream which is a Mpeg file with Audio and Video together in the same file.... Usually if the audio output is WAV/LPCM format then the Mpeg file will be Outputted as a seperate audio and Video file but if the audio output is Mpeg-1 layer 2 then it will usually be Joined into a Mpeg-2 Program stream....
Well, I didn't see that option with WinAvi... have I mislooked or it simply doesn't exist at all? Another thing... I've converted this MPG-2 file with WinAvi and now DVD-lab pro does not recognize it. Well, it does but it says that the dimensions of the file are not suitable for a DVD!?!?
Well Maybe WinAVI doesn"t have that Option as It isn"t Known for haveing a Lot of Features..... DVDLab gave you that error message because you did not encode your AVI file to a DVD Compliant Mpeg-2 file....Your Mpeg-2 file have to have a specific resolution and Frame Rate and audio Format and Sample Rate for it to Be acceptable to Makeing a DVD.... You "MUST" use one of these Resolution for Makeing a NTSC DVD: 720 X 480 Full D1 704 X 480 Broadcast D1 352 X 480 Half D1 352 X 240 Sif/Cif So encode your File again but make sure you select one of these Output Resolutions and Make sure that the audio is set to 48000hz... Cheers
These are the DVD Resolutions used for the Pal Standard: 720 X 576 Full D1 704 X 576 Broadcast D1 352 X 576 Half D1 352 X 288 Sif/Cif If your File is a Pal file but you live in NTSC Land then you will have to convert your Pal file to NTSC if you want it to Play on your NTSC TV System....WinAVI should be able to convert Pal to NTSC but I don"t know how well it will do it...Canopus Procoder is very good at converting Pal/NTSC Formats But it is a Lot slower than WinAVI But Procoder also Much Higher Quality..... Cheers
