Is there any place where there's a Canopus tutorial online? I looked at their tutorials but they are very specific. I'm trying to replicate my TMPG workflow using Canopus, in order to rip a DVD on to a SVCD.
With TMPG, here's my workflow. I use DVDdecrypter to rip the VOBS, use DGMPGDec (formerly known as DVD2AVI) from doom9 to extract the WAV and create a d2v project. I use TMPGExpress to load the d2v project and the WAV and multiplex them together to get an MPEG file. This file may be split into multiple parts and burnt to CD using Nero.
With Canopus procoder 1.5, there doesn't seem to be a way to import a d2v project. Instead I used VFAPI to frameserve an AVI from the VOB, used nandub to mux the video and audio tracks and read this in to canopus which did the conversion to mpeg. However during playback this quality seems poorer than what I get from TMPG. DVD2SVCD seems to be pretty messed up on my machine.. it launches canopus and only encodes 1m25sec before crapping out, so is there a clean way of (manually) using Canopus to do a DVD -> MPEG (SVCD) conversion?
