I tried to convert a .avi file to .dvd using chickenman's tutorial and I ended up with an error. This is twice I try and with the exact same result. Both my video and audio_ts folders are empty. My output folder contains all kinds of files but I don't know what use they are since I was expecting to work with my video_ts folder. Here is first the output in dvd2svcd and then bellow the output displayed in d2sroba

Well,im not sure,but you might have a hd problem,couse going in conversion and making a dvd needs a bit more then 4-5 gb-thats for sure.Couse i remember and also you can see that in a log that for example it will convert original audio to wav first,do a conversion,make a image...Simply 4 gb is not enough..So i would suggest that to make some more hd space should be your first step,like 10 gb at least,just to be on the safe side.With this hd size you are good only for avi to svcd :)

I'm not sure why it says I have limited space. I check my hard drive space frequently due to dvd copying and I had guaranteed atleast 40GB space freed up for it. My hard drive currently has atleast that available.
Any other ideas? :eek:

To start with, I'd listen to the warning DVD2SVCD gave:

WARNING! You seem to be using "Norton Unerase Protection" and
you want to delete the temporary files created by dvd2svcd.
This can cause DVD2SVCD problems. Even though DVD2SVCD deletes
the temporary files, Norton doesn't, therefore DVD2SVCD
might run into diskspace problems. I suggest that you stop the
"Norton Unerase Protection" Service.

Secondly, your doing an AVI to SVCD conversion, therefore DVD2SVCD only makes MPEG or Cue/Bin files. A VIDEO_TS folder is only filled when your making a DVD. DVD Auithoring should not be selectable when trying to make a SVCD.

I'll disable my Norton even though the warning is given to save disk space even though I have plenty of it, but you are the expert so I'll take your advice.
#2, I'm not sure why it's producing svcd stuff since I clearly made sure I entered the radio button to the left "avi" and the radio button to the right "dvd". And like I said, I repeated the steps a 2nd time and got the same result. Could there be some other selection box that overides what I checked at the start to produce the svcd results?

thanks for help so far,
fb :)

Is there a Encoded_audio_ 1.mpa file of about 200mb and a Encoded_Video_CCE_PAL.mpv of about 4gb size ? Also is there any MPlex_Muxed_File00.mpg file? Play them if they exist, are they complete from start to finish? If so, then just manually author then in TMPGEnc DVD Author or DVDLab.

I have an Encoded_audio_ 1.mpa which is 770,162 kb.
I have an Encoded_Video_CCE_PAL (extension info shows mpeg, but I guess that has to do with my mpeg player settings)...anyhow this file is 3,591,133 kb.
Both this audio and video files are complete.

I did not find however any MPlex_Muxed_File00.mpg file.

How should I proceed or can you tell me why I didn't get the proper output since I did select avi to dvd?


thanks,

I'd suggest you convert your Audio to AC3 (see the separate tutorial on how to use FFMpeg to do that) and simply manually author this new AC3 with your Encoded_Video_CCE_PAL.mpv file with TMPGEnc DVD Author or DVDLab, both have a free 30day trial available.
