Okay i have started all over again and have created a wp2 and a wav file. Now do i mulitplex them before DVD Author touches them? If so when i click on the multiplexing tab do i leave it at automatic?
And with the DVD author do i just select the file that has been created by TMPGnc and create the vob's for it to write to disk? Cause last time i got quite a few IFO and VOB's and wasn't sure which ones i select to burn onto disk
Help will be very thankfull
Cheers

Firstly i have a mpg film which can be played on wmp then ii used TMPGnc to select the mpg film which gave me a m2v (i think it's called) and a wav file from that mpg. The audio well i'm not sure might be PCM audio but i'm not sure as i am new to all of this.
What should i have done in the first place?

no 2000 os.
I did get to that stage with the vob's but i was wondering if they contained the audio files within them? cause the first attempt to burn them there was no sound just the video.
You see i know i am missing something out when using TMPGEnc like settings and such and author i think i know cause that pretty simple.
I just need sum1 to send me a step by step using these 2 programs on how to convert the AVI file to dvd format to burn with Nero....
if so e-mail is cougars@barrysworld.com
Rotary thanks man

Standards Conversion (on the cheap)
I hope this page will provide a useful guide for converting video of various formats from one video standard to another. There is not one absolutely correct way to convert from one standard to another, and any conversion technique will have its own set of advantages and disadvantages. The quality of the conversion is in the eye of the beholder, but I believe the methods shown here will provide an excellent balance between quality and simplicity.
Tools
The following tools are used by the methods outlined below. Please consult the installation instructions of the tools specified.
TMPGEnc ? MPEG 1 and 2 encoder (MPEG 2 encode requires purchase after the initial trial period expires).
AVISynth ? A script-based video processing application.
BeSweet ? A command-line-based audio processing application.
BeSweetGUI ? A GUI front end for BeSweet.
DVD2AVI ? A tool for extracting the video and audio from DVD VOB files.
MPEG2DEC.dll ? An MPEG 2 decoder.
SmoothDeinterlacer.dll ? An AVISynth plugin that converts interlaced video to non-interlaced video.
WSOLA.exe ? A command-line utility to time scale audio.
Conversions
The intersection between your desired source (top) and destination (left) indicates the resulting frame rate (p = Progressive, i = interlace). Click on this link to be taken to the steps for the specific method of conversion.
NTSC to PAL
I. PAL VCD (25 Fps) -> NTSC (Film) VCD (23.976 Fps)
Load the source DAT file into TMPGEnc as the "Video Source" (the "Audio Source" selection should automatically change to match the "Video Source.").
NOTE: Cancel the Wizard dialog box which appears when you run TMPGEnc.
Select the "Wave file" item in the "Output to file" sub-menu of the "File" menu.
Choose a location and filename for the destination WAV file.
Click "Save" to decode and convert the audio from the DAT file to a temporary WAV file.
Use WSOLA.exe to slow down the audio using the following command line
DRIVE:\PATH\WSOLA DRIVE:\PATH\AVSEQxx.wav DRIVE:\PATH\NTSC.wav 1.04271
Load the WAV file created above into TMPGEnc as the "Audio Source."
Load the "VideoCD (NTSCFilm)" template into TMPGEnc.
Specify the location and name of the "Output file name" with an MPG extension.
Choose "Motion estimate search (fast)" or "Highest quality (very slow)" in the "Video" tab of the "Setting" dialog.
Check the "Do not frame rate conversion" in the "Advanced" tab of the "Setting" dialog.
Press "Start" to convert, encode and multiplex the video and audio.
Author and Burn Your VCD
At this point your MPEG file is ready to be authored and burned to a VCD. Various methods exist for this, which are beyond the scope of this Standards Conversion document.
Back to Conversions
II. PAL (Film) DVD (25 Fps) -> NTSC (Film) VCD (23.976 Fps)
Run DVD2AVI and load the decrypted VOBs using the "Open" item in the "File" menu (you need to choose only the first one of a sequence).
Check the "None" item in the "Field Operation" sub-menu of the "Video" menu.
Choose the desired audio track number (usually "Track 1") in the "Track Number" sub-menu of the "Audio" menu.
Check the "Decode" item in the "Dolby Digital" sub-menu of the "Audio" menu.
Check the "Auto Select" item in the "Channel Format" sub-menu of the "Audio" menu.
Check the "UltraHigh" item in the "48 -> 44.1 KHz" sub-menu of the "Audio" menu.
Select the "Save Project" item in the "File" menu.
Choose a location and filename for the DVD2AVI project name. A small text file with the D2V extension will be created, and the audio track specified above will be extracted from the VOB and decompressed to a WAV file in the same location.
Use WSOLA.exe to slow down the audio using the following command line
DRIVE:\PATH\WSOLA DRIVE:\PATH\VTS_xx_x.wav DRIVE:\PATH\NTSC.wav 1.04271
Load the D2V file into TMPGEnc as the "Video Source."
NOTE: Cancel the Wizard dialog box which appears when you run TMPGEnc.
Load the WAV file created above into TMPGEnc as the "Audio Source."
Load the "VideoCD (NTSCFilm)" template into TMPGEnc.
Specify the location and name of the "Output file name" with an MPG extension.
Choose "Motion estimate search (fast)" or "Highest quality (very slow)" in the "Video" tab of the "Setting" dialog.
Check "Do not frame rate conversion" in the "Advanced" tab of the "Setting" dialog.
Press "Start" to convert and encode the video.
Author and Burn Your VCD
At this point your MPEG file has been created. However, in most cases it will be too large for a single VCD and must be split. Various methods exist for splitting the file and buring the VCD, but they are beyond the scope of this Standards Conversion document.
Back to Conversions
III. PAL (Video) DVD (25i Fps) -> NTSC (Film) VCD (23.976 Fps)
Run DVD2AVI and load the decrypted VOBs using the "Open" item in the "File" menu (you need to choose only the first one of a sequence).
Check the "None" item in the "Field Operation" sub-menu of the "Video" menu.
Choose the desired audio track number (usually "Track 1") in the "Track Number" sub-menu of the "Audio" menu.
Check the "Decode" item in the "Dolby Digital" sub-menu of the "Audio" menu.

Double-click the "Deinterlace" item in the "Advanced" tab of the "Setting" dialog.
Choose "Even field (adaptation)" from the pulldown menu and click "OK."
Check "Do not frame rate conversion" in the "Advanced" tab of the "Setting" dialog.
Press "Start" to convert and encode the video.

Okay cheers m8 after reading up on what you posted, i had a go and was able to produce a much better video quality. However when it tried to get author to do it's task it came saying 640x" " or something will no tplay on a standard dvd player
23. something will not be able to play on a standard dvd player.
Now should i have changed the settings in TMPGEnc before a started i.e resolution, fps and so on.
Need you help again m8 i'm nearly there. :)
Plus i'm trying to keep to the standard conversion here cause i'm new to this. However what resolution do you recommend to convert too and audio settings. Cause when i played the mpg that was produced by Tmpgnc it had no sound but the quality was good is this right? did all the muliplex thingy as well.
My kids are getting desperate to see this bloody movie.
If i can talk to you on msn m8 it would be great of you.
