vcd to dvd

can anyone help me
everytime i try to put a vcd on a dvd
i first use tmpencoder to merge and cut my project then i use sonic dvd to put it on dvd and evertime i do this the second half of the film the audio is miles out of sink please help paul
 
the best thing to do, is to use tmpg encoder (latest version) to convert the seperate .dat files to the dvd format below

"DVD - PAL"
"CBR MPEG-1 LAYER II AUDION (MP2)"

when u have converted all the files needed for the movie, join them together using tmpg encoder
"files/mpegtools/merge & cut"

this should have the film that is running in sync in the mpeg 2 format.

use either of the programs below to make a dvd movie

nerovision express version 1.0.4.2 with dvd plugin
or
ulead dvd moviefactory

make sure you save the dvd film to the harddrive, then u can check to see if the film is in sync by using your favourite movie viewer, skip to the last vob file, if this is in sync, the rest will be ok.
then burn to dvd
 
I have found it best not to join the 2 mpg files together but to demux (convert audio to 48kHz) and load the 2 into 2 separate movies into Maestro (maybe other authoring can be used). Then I set the action of last Chapter in Movie1 to play first chapter of movie 2.
 
a better way ;o)) without encoding anything

and it works I have tried it - works like a charm ...
no reencoding of video neither audio

the article tho is in German ;o))

*maybe you need to register to read it, I am not sure ...*
 
not much use if you cannot read "GERMAN"..... "M72ad" :( if you can translate and post it here it may be of good use to some of the members here and an extra bonus of you gettin the credit for the translation :)
 
allright I will try to translate it ;o))

Oki doki here we go ;)

How to burn 5 SVCD/VCD (800MB = 4GB) on one DVD-R without reencoding anything *vobs with 44 Hz Audio*:

1. Read out all the svcds/vcds to mpeg using VCDGear 3.5
BIN->MPEG | VCD Dat->MPEG

2. Demultiplex all your mpeg using TMPG, so that you extract all the audio & video streams from each mpeg
>Mpeg-Tools->Simple Demultiplex

3. Make a seperate folder for every mpeg CD
like CD1, CD2, CD3 ...

4. now tart IfoEdit->Author NEW DVD
join the two files together cd1.mpv &. cd1.mpa

5. join the chapters like this:
make a file called Celltimes.txt *use wordpad - the contant of the files looks like this (just copy this stuff into the celltimes.txt):
10000
20000
30000
40000
50000
60000
70000
80000

save this file & open it with IfoEdit under Scene changes/chapters.

now just select the destination - for part1 CD1.
(after IfoEdit is done, close it and open it again and proceed to the 2nd mpv/mpa .... and so on and on until you are done with all your svcds/vcds ;o))

6. Now we have as many VOB files as many mpeg files we had before, but now they are already vob files ;)

7. Now make a folder called *guess what :p * VIDEO_TS

8. Now copy/move every vob file you have created into the
VIDEO_TS folder *but before you do that rename the files
like this*

CD1=vts01_1.vob
CD2=vts01_2.vob
and on and on until you have all your vobs, but be careful IfoEdit only goes from vts01-1.vob -> vts01_9.vob
*personally I can't confirm this as I have never tried more than 7 vobs until now ;) *

9. IfoEdit->Create IFO
selecht the first vob file you have created "vts01_1.vob" all the others will be proceeded automaticly
(close IfoEdit again)

we are almost done now ;)

10. Open IfoEdit & open vts01_0.ifo & now use the button Get VTS !
(close IfoEdit)

11. Open IfoEdit again & this time open the Video_ts.ifo.
You can see now the two film roles (attribute for the film)
klick twice on them and select "Automatic Letterboxed" - don't change anything else !!! Just save it for the last time

A N D Y O U A R E D O N E !!!

12. Burn the files with your favorite burn tool *I have used Nero for burning and it works like a charm with this method ;o))*
Just put the VIDEO_TS path on your DVD und you can leave out the AUDIO_TS *as you don't need it anyway*. Happy burning :p

Happy SVCD/VCD on DVDR with chapters

& thanks to Icewaere for his great guide in German :)

hmm.... just open DVD Producer ... Import the *.mpg ...... then go to properties ..set end action to : goto movie 2 .... voila ... that´s it ---- Producer transcodes the audio itself... no need to join demux remux or what ever

greetz
 
but ...

with the guide above you don't need to convert the audio stream to 48 Hz ;) the video & audio stay untouched

I must admit it looks a little bit confusing, but I tried it and the first time I tried everything worked find even all the chapters were there where they had been before :)

Of course you can use WinOnCD 6 also & it converts the audio stream to 48 Hz too
*but unfortunatly with the convertion the audio stream loses quality ... that's just the way it is ... and with the guide you don't have any quality lose at all that's why I prefer this method ;) *
