Can any body help me???
Been trying to convert .VOB files so that I can burn a VCD or SVCD.
Am not getting anywhere with them, have used DVD2SVCD and extracted and reconfigured the sound etc. Just can't get the last bit where I use TMPEnc to rebuild them. When I try to use it, it will not recognise the D2V and AC3 files.
Does anybody have any clue what I am going on about, and can they help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Chris

In TMPGEnc:

Go to: Option|Environmental Setting|VPAFI plug in

Right click on 'DirectShow Multimedia File Reader' and select 'Higher Priority' setting it to 2 or 3.

Mine wouldn't see AC3 audio until I did that!

Hope that helps! :)

Have you tried vcdhelp ?

Andy, tried that and no joy, also thanks for the VBcd help, but that is where I got the instructions from in the 1st place!!!!!! Will try again on the home PC and see if this is where I have been going wrong!
Thanks and any more comments appreciated!

The best place for guides on this sort of thing is Doom9

FlaskMPEG is also pretty good

Will look at Doom, thanks. Just got a copy of Flask, do you have any expereince of using it?
I tried to convert the 1Gb .vob and ended up with a 23GB movie with no sound, think it was because I did not go for the MPEG format, but kept it uncompressed!! Any suggestions please?
Andy, tried changing the settings weighting, but no joy.

got txt files on the optimum properties but havent got that far

only 350mhz :rolleyes:

have you only just done this? 23gb, how long did it take & what cpu?

Running an athlon 1200, 256 memory, so no great shakes. No idea how long it took, as left it overnight, but we had a powercut Sat night, so file is there but no idea how long it took! Think when I started it, the task bar was showing about 2 hours to complete.
Will try again this evening and report back!

has anyone converted a standard 1gb vob file & was it done all in an evening?

Right, managed to convert a 1GB vob file, to a 1.2GB Avi. Used Flask, took about 2 hours. Now all I need to do is convert this to a VCD/SVCD! But at least this step is out the way. I used Mpeg4 Codecs for the Video and one of the Microsoft Codecs for the sound. All plays well as well so am well happy!!
Chris

mate would be cool if you could email me what you did & the settings cos its taking me days, but then it is only on a 350mhz so im sure its gonna take much longer

one thing to be wary of though, you have to have a vcd compliant avi else it has to convert it to the correct format oh and to split the file so you can get it on a cd.
Ive probably does this wrong too as vcds seem to be way less efficient that a standard avi

Just the easy bit left now!

Here are some instructions from VCD Help on how to convert the avi to mpg in order to make VCD/SVCD's.

Instructions are step by step with pcitures! :)
