ReJig will author the file, but it's going to be too large for DVD5.
Once authored to your hard drive, run DVDShrink to make it fit.
If you want menus and chapters, you'll need either GUIforDVDAuthor, or DVDAuthorGUI.
Thank you very much. I looked a few times on the net on my own with no success. I downloaded the tool just now and it looks like it will solve my problem perfectly. cheers. Michael
I guess I'm not as bright as I'd hoped. ReJig looks great to me. But I'm at a loss to make it work on my own. Could some one walk me through the process from importing an Mpeg2 file to ReJig through to the Shrink/Nero stage please? Or point me to a good (any) guide for ReJig.
My mistake. Sorry.
Rejig needs elementary streams to work.
Get PVAStrumento, and just use it to Demux the file. Use TMPGEnc if you already have it. It's under file, mpeg tools, simple Demux.
Load the video and audio into rejig in Author mode, and it will output the VIDEO_TS folder ready to burn.
Open Nero, select the "DVD Video" template, drag the VIDEO_TS folder from right to left, burn.
Thanks. Once I demuxed with TMPGEnc Authoring with ReJig was a treat. I then used Shrink to fit the Video TS on a DVD5 and burned with Nero.
I had a terrible time teaching myself how to use these tools because of a problem with WinXP that was wholely new to me. Because I was using file types that the Explorer preview function didn't recognize which caused an over run on my CPU and shut everything down. I found an explination and solution to the problem at: Moviecodec.com
Quote:Hi anonymous, many tks, I found it and here's the text for anyone else who may have the same problem sometime. "Windows XP Explorer has a 'feature' to provide a preview in the Details box on the left of the file you have selected, if it's supported. Image files, HTML pages, video clips, MP3s, etc are all previewed (even with the folder view open).
If you have a large movie clip and it either is corrupt (ie. no index from a partial download) or it uses an unsupported codec, then Explorer tries to load the whole file. This can slow your computer a lot and prevent deleting/renaming/moving/etc the file until it's finished.
Simply do the following steps:
1) Open a command window (Start->Run, type in 'cmd' hit enter)
2) To remove image preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
3) To readd image preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
4) To remove media preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll
5) To readd media preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 shmedia.dll
