I have mpegs (svcd & vcds) that play on my dvd player when I burn them onto CD-R, but when I try and wack the same mpegs onto a DVD-R my DVD player says unknown disk.

Some1 lent me a DVD-R DVD copied movie and that played fine. Im confused!

Any help would go down a treat!

Do a search on AVI to VOB & you will undoubtedly find your answer ;)

It's all to do with encoding whatever file to MPEG2 (which is DVD compliant) & then converting to VOB/BUP/IFO files for burning in a VIDEO_TS folder

hi laurie85
depending on your system,yes it can take that long, or longer,using TMPGEnc.Mainconcepts encoder is a lot faster but costs alot more.These are the two i use but im sure there are more out there,maybe faster and less costly.

good luck

MainConcept is worth getting IMHO as it is 3 times as qucik as most other encoders , and thats without any loss of Video quality !! :D
Plus using this encoding method you do NOT have to re-mux seperate video & audio streams ... which can often result in out of sync audio

(I use MainConcept & highly recommend it)

Thx guys, I have a dream that one day you can just burn and play....one day.

Would it be easier/quicker to cut the mpegs to 700mb and put them on CD-Rs?

Do you know of any programs that could do this? Thx again.

You can fit 15mins of DVD format onto CD (after encode/convert still) , so MPEG(s) can be split and put onto CD but best being left as VCD/SVCD ...

Its really not as hard as you'd think to encode then convert to DVD±R (when you've successfully done it once) !;-)
