I have an Xvid avi that I would like to convert to DVD. I have searched and have not yet ben able to convert this. here is the info gspot gives me on the file:

aspect: 608 x 256 (2.375 : 1)

Framerate: 23.976 FPS

Type: OpenDML AVI

bitrate: 1449 kb/s

ISFT Software Nandub v1.02rc
JUNK (ASCII in junk chunk) Nandub build 1852

TMPEnc seems to hate this thing and crashes everytime. I have changed the direct show settings but that still did not help. any guidence would be great.

Can you tell us exactly what problem TMBGEnc has..tell us the steps you are taking and when it fails..might be able to help..

tn..

1-start TMPENC

2-at the wizard I select DVD NTSC Linear PCM Audio

3-Select the Vidoe file and the udio automatically loads.

4-set the video option to Full Screen ( keep aspect ratio)

5-Select where I want it to save. Here is where i Hit a snag, it want to save it as 2 files m2v and a wav file. at first i thought no problem but when I try to take those two files a re-encode them it hangs. Same way if I go through the main screen and select the vidoe and the audio and try to save it a an mpeg2, the program hangs.

I have tried to demux the audio and video using both vdub, and goldwave but each time i do that it save the audio as a QCD.file. not quite sure what is going on here.

I should also state that I have tried to demux using TMPEnc but I get an error when trying to split the vid file "illegal MPEG stream"

You sure you searched? I would have thought that if you did you would have found numerous similar posts (like the one currently just one bellow this one), where I asked people what build of XviD they have installed... Yet you seem to somehow have left this info out.

I d/l the most up to date a few days ago but I am still having problems...

What setting do you have under VFAPI in environemental settings in TMPGenc, I know you said you altered them but I know I had a hell of a problem too until I got the settings and priorities right.

Should work fine on the default settings, that is assuming you have a recent build installed. I would suggest either Nic or Koepi's latest unstable ones although as I said in the other thread, I tested it with a current CVS dev4api build and it worked fine.

Then again, I could be wrong and it could be updating TMPGEnc that fixes the problem and not XviD as I update both.

hi m8 get
MainConcept MPEG Encoder 1.4 for Windows from
http://www.mainconcept.com/downloads.shtml
works 1st time everytime fast and v good quality:beer: :beer:

MainConcept MPEG Encoder 1.4 seems to work great, except for I can't figure out how to keep the movie in letterbox format. I am encoding it with the DVD NTSC settings, but I let it encode a few minutes of the movie, and it seems to be full screen. I have tried adjusting the video settings, but it still is in full screen How can I keep the original format? thanks

HI M8 WHEN I USE mc mpeg enc there is very few things i change 1 output format ,change to dvd, in advanced section change av bitrate to 3000 ish and that is it:eek: , it sorts everything else out itself, i use it all the time with avi films:) good luck

Something kinda strange is happening, the movie I have is in 2 parts, both Xvid and both say the same thing when run through g-spot. Both are in letterbox format. What I decided to do was encode each one sepreately, then I was going to join them with TMPEnc and burn to dvd-rw to watch. The first half of the movie encoded in full screen but the second encoded in the original letterbox format. why would this be?
