Somebody please help. Ive been working on this crazy project trying to get it to work for over a week now.
Ive made a movie with Roxio DVD creator and its saving it in .dmsd extension and I cannot get it to save in anything else.
I have DLed a converter....two actually. One is the Stoik video converter and the other is TMPGenc. The stoik one will open the dmsd extension to convert... the other will not. However... for some reason when I try to convert it with Stoik from a dmsd to a avi to then reconvert to a mpeg2...it tells me "Video clips not defined" before I can even begin the conversion to avi.
Im about at my wits end here. Ive spend hours and hours on this damn project and it just doesnt want to work for me.
Somebody PLEASE... help
**OK edit...wanted to add. I have my movies saved as MPEG2...its the whole "video" with special effects and such I am trying to convert from dmsd to mpeg2.
I just tried burning just the movies themselves and they wont even play on my DVD player...even though they are mpeg2! My DVD player is a SONY... only a year old. What gives?!!?!

The thing that you want to encode and burn: Is it an mpeg or AVI or some other things?

I coulda sworn I said that in my orginal post like 4 times..lol....
The video's are saved in MPEG2 and are incorporated into the "production" which is being automaticaly saved as a dmsd file.
I need to convert the production into mpeg2 (at least thats what I was told) in order to play it on a DVD player....
however... even the movies alone in mpeg2 format arent playing on my DVD player nor my parents. So now I dont know if mpeg 2 is what Im supposed to be using. *sigh* This is so much more work then its worth lol.

Yes, you did say it several times, but probably not in a very clear manner. Maybe that's why people were not responding. *_*
Anyway, I take it that you have some mpeg2, and would like to add things to them, then burn to dvd.
Now the first thing you need to make sure is whether the original mpeg2 would play on the pc (not the standalone dvd). If yes, then you may try convert the mpeg2 into dvd compliant format with e.g. VSO DivXtoDVD (free version), then burn to dvd with e.g. Nero, and see if it can be played on the standalone dvd player.
If all is well, then you may try edit the original mpeg2, then convert to dvd compliant format, and burn to dvd.
The whole idea is for you to check what went wrong (if anything).
Good luck!

From original post: "I have my movies saved as MPEG2...its the whole "video" with special effects and such I am trying to convert from dmsd to mpeg2."
I hardly would say thats not clear, but whatever.
Thank you for the information... I'll have to try that method next. Ive tried so many methods its becoming a blur.
But does MPEG2 sound like the correct format that I would have to make things? Ive had alot of people tell me that was what I needed to make things.

Basically, any popular video formats (e.g. mpeg, avi) will do.

Often the encoding matters, and some programs (e.g. Nero) do not encode that well.

Ive burned with Ulead DVD Moviefactory and with Roxio EMC 7.5... neither have worked. Are you telling me I paid almost $100 for Roxio to have it "not be able to encode" correctly?

What can I say? DVD Decrypter (though no more) is free, but still one of the best ripping and burning programs around. VSO DivXtoDVD (freeware version) is also free, but superb at encoding........
