SVCD Question.

I just got a dvd burner a few days ago and i've wasted 4 cds trying to put my svcd (2 files) into one dvd-r and making it work properly on my dvd player. I've tried converting my svcd into a dvd format using this tutorial, but that didnt work out too well. The picture screws up and it pauses/skips every 10 seconds. (when i see the time pass on the dvd, it looks like its going faster than it should) I cant seem to figure it out. is there a way to burn my svcd (2 cds) into 1 dvd-r and making it work on my dvd player? i'd really appreciate the help. thanks.

that method doesnt work on DVD players.

what you might want to do is actually ENCODE the SVCD to DVD.

go ahead with the joining of the files like stated, and then load TMPGEnc up. and click the preset (template) for DVD (NTSC/PAL whatever is needed).

load up the .mpg file and convert. do this while you sleep.

I never re-encode svcd's to put them onto dvd's, total waste of time. The method i use is pretty similar to that tutorial in doom9, but mines a bit easier, and i have yet to come across a dvd player that wont play it, XBox's and PS2's also play them with no problem.

All ya need is TMPGenc DVDAuthor, and DVD Patcher.

1. If ur files are SVCD u need to change the horizontal resolution on each one to 704 or 720, whatever, using DVDPatcher, . Just click on the "first header only" beside the patch button, then hit patch and its done in about 1 sec., do the same with all ur mpeg files.

2. Load each mpeg into tmpg dvd author, in whatever way u want them to play, make a menu if ya want, and hit the author button! TMPGenc DVDAuthor resamples the audio itself

3. Once they are authored to vobs, select each vob using DVD Patcher and put them back to the original SVCD horizontal resolution (480) click on "entire file" this time, beside patch button. Patch them, and thats it, burn to dvd.

Whole process takes about 20mins

For VCD files u just load them into TMPGenc DVD Author and author them then burn them to dvdr.
