Hi, I'm a noob on converting files and would appreciate any help on the following matter. I DL Kingdom of Heaven (TC/ SVCD) and got the cue and bin files for each disk (3 in total). Well I want to put them on a DVD-R. I researched via google and came up with the following, but had a problem. I used vcdgear to convert my bin and cue to mpeg. then using tempg I merged the 3 files to become one single file (super video cd vbr). Then I demultiplexed. Then using dvd patcher I changed the mpeg resolution from 480 to 352 horizontal. Then I converted the audio to MP2 48000 KHz (DVD compliant). Then, using Tempg DVD author, I made the dvd audio and video folders. I then went back in and changed the resolutions back to 480 on the VOB files. I burned it to a DVD and tried it on my DVD player. My DVD player plays SVCD's just fine, but when I put this DVD-R that I converted I can see a picture, but it's black and white and the picture goes up out of the screen and keeps doing that, from bottom to top over and over. I am sure someone might know what I am talking about, any help would be highly appreciated in letting me know what I am doing wrong or if there are other better ways of converting SVCD to DVDR. Thanks in advance.

I tried many times and keep getting a fuzzy black and white screen with it vertically rotating from bottom to top. Sound is fine though.

well, at least you bothered putting some detail in there....

....sounds like a PAL/NTSC problem. eg, your source is a framerate that your dvd player/tv doesnt support.

You don't need a new TV. The black & white scrolling screen is a dead give-away for a PAL/NTSC missmatch. There's usually a button or a setting you can change somewhere on the TV or (more likely) the DVD player. If there's not, that means you need a cheaper player! Good luck.

Thanks for the help guys. It was indeed the whole PAL vs NTSC issue. The only way I got it to work was by converting it over to NTSC using TMPGEnc. It takes long..... At first I converted it to NTSC 480 x 480, the screen was too small. So I tried 720 x 480, still small. Is there a way to make it wider and a little "taller"? Thanks in advance. I really do appreciate your guy's help very much.

What I am now trying to accomplish is to get the picture as close to Full Screen as possible, and currently it's too small. When I converted it I put the settings at 16:9 720 x 480, would changing it to 352 x 576 make it bigger or smaller (im a noob)? Or is there software or another method in which I could change some settings on the current file so I dont have to convert again? Thanks again guys!

Try in "Other Settings->Advanced" on tmpgenc and change Video Arrange Method to "Full Screen (Keep Aspect Ratio)".

It's been a while since I've done anything like this though.
