Hi :)

A similar thread to the previous 'MPG to DVDR', with the route of creating a pseudo AVI with VFAPICONV-EN.
I read a thread of Chickenman's at another site using this method and it seemed quite easy and straight forward. I now have my small avi but unable to encode it. My usual method of encoding avi to dvd is by using DVD2SVCD\CCE (Ver. 1.2.1 B2) but on this instance just gets spit out with "CCE as caused an Illegal Operation"

The original source is SVCD with X4 mpeg1. files extracted.
I've tried NeroVision, but cannot fit to size. Was wandering if TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.5 would be more favourable.
Tried the trick of renaming the 4 mpeg's to .vob to load into DVD2SVCD, but the time only shows as 49mins.

What's by best route here?

Thanx for your time

SVCD, MPEG1, that doesn't make much sense. SVCD is MPEG2.

I wouldn't recommend VFAPI, but rather AVISynth instead. To use TMPGEnc you don't need anything like that anyway as it can accept MPEG2 as input.

Did a small test the other day though with TMPGEnc and an AVI, encoding was ~30% quicker if I had AVISynth do the resizing, so even though TMPGEnc can accept MPEG2 as input you still might want to frameserve with AVISynth. Sounds like maybe your file is damaged though.

For the 4 parts, you could try running them through DVD2AVI, creating one D2V to frameserve the video and joining the audio.

Not really sure if it's vcd- mpeg1 or svcd - mpg2, how can one tell?

Yep, I ran the 4 parts through DVD2AVI, creating the small .D2V file.
But I'm stuck with using AVISynth with it being script based.
Could you recommend a script for the purpose? Or a maybe a site where I can learn about this?

Thanxxx Celtic

DVD2AVI only supports MPEG2, so if it ran sucessfully then they are indeed MPEG2.

Make sure that you have the MPEG2Dec3 plugin in your plugins directory.
Then all you really require is: MPEG2Source("your.d2v"), that would be the equiv of using VFAPI, with AVISynth it is also possible to resize though, checkout the docs for the different resize filters.

I only have the MPEG2DEC2.dll in my AVISynth plugins folder.

And still lost where using AVISynth is concerned....sorry!
