m1-edit

[Knightst@lker]

having trouble with a vcd not playing on my stand alone dvd,after reading around chichen advised using m1-edit or m2-edit where is this located in which program as i need to try repacket sizing the .dat files. Also anyone know a good tool for cutting and joining

tnx l8r

Unfortunately all my know links to M1 or M2-Edit have dried up.

By the way, use M1-Edit on the MPG files to repacketize, not the DAT files.

TMPGEnc would have to be the easyiest and simplest program to use to cut and/or join MPG files. Get from w*w.tmpgenc.net

Others editors that can be used are iFilmEdit or Wombles MPEG2VCR v3.x

I've found m2-edit pro at the following addy, please be aware of pop ups

Works in Win2k and the repacksizing is called Transpose in this version.

repacketizing will make the file smaller?

Yes, I have found all TMPGEnc created files need to be re-packetized and after M1-edit they are a bit smaller in byte size but naturally the same length time wise.

Thank God a good buddy got me a copy of M-1 Edit, it works great and helps me make a better quality movie. Will M2 Edit still do VCDs or is it only for SVCD files?

[ChickenMan]

Yes M2-Edit will do everything M1-Edit will do plus SVCD. I still use M1-Edit as its simpler, quicker and easier to use than M2-Edit. But for those that dont have or cant find M1-Edit, then narturally M2-Edit will work fine.

I have found SVCD's do not need repacketizing, TMPGEnc seems to get them right.
