Vcd Fade

Hi Guys,
Can anybody tell me the best way to achieve fade in and fade out's at the beginning and end of my mpeg files. I know i can do this with avi files, but i was wondering if there was any software to do this with mpegs.
Many thanks in advance.

Well you might want to cut the file into three parts, re-encode the start and finish then join it back together.

As for the fade, you could do it with AVISynth using fadein() and fadeout() and Nic's MPEGDecoder to decode the mpg. This however would not handle the audio so you would need to demultiplex and then use mpasource.

You could also just use something like Adobe Premiere.
 
Thanks CM. I downloaded MPEG-VCR and applied the fade in and fade out. Works great. but when i save the file and play it back there's no sound. Any idea what i'm doing wrong.
You're help is really appreciated Thanks.

Been a long time since I used that feature. Just tried it and got similar results to aen142. Fading works well, however, the audio was there but very garbled and very fast. Last few minutes of movie was silent.

Hmm... I would suggest demux out the fading Video part and remux in with the audio from the original movie. There is normally no audio right at the start or ends on most movies anyhow.

I'm not aware of an audio editor that has a fad in/fade out feature but I'm sure one exists. Why not ask in the Audio forum.
 
thanks celtic_druid
;-)

can someone help me please?

i got the program but can't see the option to fade in or fade out.

i'm really lost.
thanks in advance!
 
If by "the program" you mean cooledit then it should be under the favourites menu, if not then Effects-->Amplitude-->Amplify or Envelope.

Any other wav editor should be reasonably similar.
 
thanks again celtic_druid
:)

was my incomplete post....sorry!
editing the audio is ok, we can do miracles with this progs.:)

i'm loose using MPEG-VCR,

i found the function in mpeg-vcr but don't understand how to use it...the help file inside is unclear about fade.

what i do to cut the video in 2 parts,
and apply the fadein/out in each part?

thanks again.
 
Use what ever to cut the file then in mpeg-vcr, click File and Open MPEG movie. In that window that pops up, click on the small Insert Effect button. The long green band has the curser to the left, this is the start of the movie. In the Start Effect box, move down to and select Begining Fade. Then hit OK. Click the Insert Effect button again. Slide the pointer to the far right and in Start Effect box, move doen to and select Ending Fade. Then hit OK again.

Now moving the slider/pointer on the movie window ill show that there is now fade in at the start and end. Now hit the samll Save button, give an output name and select the MPEG type (VCD, SVCD, etc). Demux this file, discard the audio part and re-mux with audio that you have created fadein/out with in your Audio Editor.
