NeroVision needs Mpeg2 plugin to create a DVD

Mach10 · Jul 5, 2003

When I use NeroVision 1046 and try to "create" ... not burn ... a DVD

A window pops up ... displaying this message
-----------------------------------------
To burn your video to highest-quality DVD-Video discs, an MPEG-2 codec license is required, due to patent license restrictions for encoding and decoding MPEG-2 files.

You can purchase our state-of-the-art MPEG-2/DVD plugin to create DVD-Video titles. The MPEG-2/DVD plugin includes the latest MPEG-2/SVCD plugin for SVCDs.

Please visit w*w.nero.com for information on how to make your purchase.
----------------------------------------

Nothing wrong happens if I try to convert a SVCD from a "avi" video.

Yes ... Yes ... I know ... why bother ... but still ... what's up with this message saying I can't make a DVD with NeroVision ??????

Any body have the answer ... I'm using Nero 55.10.41 Enterprise Edition for burning DVDs.

this message means you have to purchase and install the Nero MPEG-2/DVD plugin;
the fact that you can render to SVCD let me guess that you have installed the older MPEG-2/SVCD plugin but not the latest MPEG-2/DVD plugin (whích includes MPEG-2 for SVCD);

You'd better use something else to do your DVD or (S)VCD masterings. Nero sucks bigtime, you should use it to burn only.

Okay guys ... you can all rest now ... I had not yet installed the correct Nero Mpeg 2 plugin yet.

The reason I was posting this message was because I thought I had already installed the correct plugin and because NeroVision did display the DVD option before in the past ... I thought maybe they made some improvements.

So I was posting here to find out if some advances had been made. And if I did decide to try NeroVision to make a DVD it would be only to see how bad/good the results would be in comparision to the many other programs I have installed.

I had not done a thorough search for other Nero SVCD-DVD Plugins on my computer ... 340 GBs ... can contain alot of ... junk.

The MPEG-2 Nero pluggin is NOT required for burning SVCD's (MPEG-2) files, it is ONLY needed for encoding with and as Scarecrow said, it suc BIG time indead. It would have to be one of the worst mpeg2 encoders around.

Yes ... Yes

1.

It has been a while since I burned some SVCDs [with Nero].
I used DVD2SVCD ... when I made them. I moved on to DVDs.

2.

I have read the posts ... I saw all the lousy reviews Nero has gotten ... if you let Nero make a SVCD from scratch.

3. I am saying if I had time to waste ... start it ... and go to sleep and see the final results ... just for the heck of it.

But anyway guys ... I found the correct NeroVision DVD/Mpeg2 plugin ... I'd forgotten where I had it stashed on my computer system.

Later ... Dudes

That would be quite some revenge! But unfotunately, you are not my enemy...

Are there any good, free encoders?

Can BBMPEG encode to DVD-standard?
- and if so, is it any good

Rather disappointing, actually - Nero 6 seems to have been hyped as a "do this, do that" solutions, but then the plugin buying starts!

ffmpeg can encode mpeg2, no idea about quality though.
