for mpeg, i like to use TMPGEnc

open it up, go to file, the mpeg tools

then go to the cropping or editing tab

on the little arrow, find video-cd

then click on add, load the movie
"<" means the beginning so click on that for the beginning, then ">" means end
then run it

once done, click on "<" again and move it to the end of the first part, and ">" to the end of the movie

that should be the 2nd disc, and there you go! you're DONE!!!
 
1 thing I would like to add to what aimunreg mentioned;
select the appropiate type when you combine and split them.
If yours were mpeg1 VCD standard, then you will have to make sure you select MPEG-1 VideoCD for them. Otherwise select other appropiate types.
The info is in the tutorials by ChickenMan (for when you make VCDs, just go to the cut and merge part of the tuts).
Good luck
 
Black Hawk Down as a 3.79 plus 1.05gig MPEG1 files, no way are they VCD compliant. They are way way to big. BHD is 144min long, that equals a 1.44 gig MPEG1 VCD file.

I'm affraid you will have to re-encode them to either SVCD or VCD as the size, bit rate or audio is way out tof spec.

Can you load the mpg files into VirtualDUB and go to File Properties and post the results.
 
Sorry i did not say that i Encoded these as Mpeg1 and will Encode to SVCD, just was asking being win98 cut me off at 4 gig and next file is 1.44 gig,after i encode to svcd with TMPGEnc ,how do i join the files into one file and then split in 2 or 3 as DVD2SVCD would do to burn on 80 min cd.






Thank's In Advance Cheeser

note you said mpeg1, that's why we all thought you said it was as mpeg1.
The problem you have is that win9x (fat16 or fat32) will not allow for files bigger than 4Gigs, so you won't be able to join them as 1 big file. However a possible solution for you would be to break it down into 45-50 minute parts. You can do that in the merge and cut section again in tmpgenc and cut out every 45-50minutes from the first big file (am guessing about 2 parts). Whatever you have left over, save also as a seperate file. Then merge it with the 1G you have left and would probs be your last part.
That's just an example how to do it, but you will just have to do it in a similar way. (make sure when you do cut and merge them, that you select MPEG-2 Super VideoCD (VBR) as the type)

good luck.

PS
the merge & cut tools are found under File>MPEG Tools
 
As Shodoe said, you cant join them together and encode with your Win98 setup. That was the original reason I went to Win2000 so I could get NTFS formated HD with no 4gig limit.

Juste encode each file to SVCD as you intend and then use TMPGEnc Merge & Cut to convert the 2 mpgs into 3 CD's
 
Thank's for the Advice Guy's,i think i will go to win 2000,does it matter which Win 2k,i have a Corporate Version i heard there is a home Edition Too.

Just tried cut and merge TMPGEnc 2.57 Video ok,Audio ok,Multiplex ok,Rewrite SVCD Header goes about half way and says invalid stream?What happened ,i tried De multiplex,remutiplex no difference,any one have any ideas!

I know that this is a little late in the conversation and maybe a bit off topic but I didn't know that you could record off the dish? How is this done?

Thanks
:)
 
Morpher, most De-coder boxes have Composite and/or S-Video output, they then become the inputs to a Video Capture card in your computer. You capture to HD from there.
 
Just a little Info Here,I found out that TMPGEnc 2.57 Plus will not work to Cut\join,i get a bad stream problem so i dug up TMPGEnc G and it worked perfect,go figure?




Thank's for all the help People.

Too record of dish as you call it, well in the uk we have macrovision suppressers, plus I Picked a nice Sigma box from North Carolina last year. Basically if you got a composite out on yer decoder and the usual stereo phono, then hell as long as you got a video capture card and and female twin phono too 3.5 jack on an input on yer sound card, away too go.
 
I was given a vcd rip, very poor, and thus I bought the original, brings my collection too over 200+ now :)
