Viper_182 · Dec 14, 2004

GSpot picked up 2 different types of files

They all either

I read Chickinman's batch file tutorial but dvd2 svcd dosen't support adpcm audio. I want a fast simple way to convert all of these videos to DVD.

Plz help ASAP Thank You

use VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod with video in "stream copy" and audio in "full processing mode" to save your movies with plain PCM/Wave audio; then use dvd2svcd like CM wrote in his tut;

TRY X-OOM DivX2DVD creator (aka NEODVD) this will convert muliple avi's to dvd

not great but it works

You have simply made a syntax/typo error in the Bat file, double check your spelling and make sure the " quotes are there, etc. Make sure it is pointing to the correct folder that contains your dvd2svcd project file.d2s file and that the file does actually exist.

well now at the top of the command line thing it says

3{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}

F:\Documents and Settings\Louis\Desktop>REM DVD2SVCD Batch Control\par

F:\Documents and Settings\Louis\Desktop>\par
'\par' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

and the dvd2svcd.exe won't shut down unless i manually do it my self. I restarted my comp before hand

The Batch file MUST, I repeat MUST, be made in Notepad or similar plain test editor. Using MS Word or such will NOT generate the file you want.

As I have said a 100 times before, read the Tutorial, when I say use Notepad, then use it. If you dont and have problems then I cant help you.
