Just another thing do I need a DVD writer and not just a CD Writer?

Sony DVD players are terrible for VCD/SVCD CDR compatibility.
You need to find a disk that will work with it. Try a CDRW, these usually work with the SONY DAVS-300

Go here http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php to see what disks your player is compatible with.

you need a newer dvd player. i have an older jvc that says it will play vcd's but it does not. i bought a new polaroid (sp) dual deck last month and every vcd i burn works great. i use the newest nero.


gbagman37  2004-02-05 05:15:27 ( ID:aks1ajzl/6r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Some DVD Players will play VCDs and SVCDS but not CD-r's.


ashy  2004-02-05 12:17:50 ( ID:4mt1ots/7tc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yeh it's a con when some of them say they will play VCD. They mean commercial not home made.
Sony are buggers for this.
However many players that will play VCD, but not home made CDR, will actually play CDRW. This is because the laser wavelength reflected from a CDRW is closer to that of a DVD than CDR's.




Question - error message "*.avi" can not open, or unsupported. No.40847
Dj_Qbert_Disciple  2004-02-03 18:36:03 ( ID:vix5lwzgkuj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TMPGEnc (free version) on P4 + Athlon 2000. Athlon works ok, initially it was coming up with an error message regarding the P3.dll. And the same AVI on the P4? i get the error message "*.avi" can not open, or unsupported.

I had a problem before with writing to SVCD on both with Nero 5. Then installed a different Plugin on both, the Athlon works fine! P4? you guessed it. nope. It's not completely messed up, as it does like some AVIs... just not all of them.

Thanking you in-advance.

If you downloaded the TMPGEnc zip file, did you extract it right ?



Question - Video to Image No.40846
Fess  2004-02-03 14:19:53 ( ID:w3o7iqhvrsf )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello,

I've been trying to create a good image out of a 640x480 single frame capture. I use Photoshop to clean up the image via (deinterlace, color correction, smoothing). But my efforts yield a very poor picture.

Question1:
How do content providers get those crisp clear images from movies? I notice some images are 1024x768 etc. and my ospry220 is only able to capture at 640x480. But I don't think 1024x768 is going to improve the quality. How do they get such clean images.

Question2:
What is 'slide scanning'? I have a epson1250 and was wondering if using 'slide scanning' is how they got those crisp pictures? And if so, where in the world would you get slides to a movie?


I apologize for this off topic question.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards
Fess

Question - CBR vs VBR, size difference? No.40844
Wits  2004-02-03 01:41:27 ( ID:czeod1ynfxm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have a 41:57 avi source i want to encode to svcd. I figured i need an avg bitrate of about 2358 to be able to fit it nicely on 1 80min CD. However, using 2 pass VBR it results in a much smaller file (~755MB), while using CBR it gives a nice 785 mb file. How is this possible?

Question - DVD Stutters on Domestic Player No.40826
BF  2004-02-01 22:00:50 ( ID:llkq183uyem )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When I play back my authored DVD-R on a domestic DVD player I encounter lots of stutters and jumps.

This seems to be a common problem as I have discovered from reading through this and other forums.

When the stuttering occurs the DVD player (Yamaha DVD-S520) can be heard to make unhealthy sounding noises which is quite unnerving. This does not happen on other DVD's, e.g. Hollywood type DVD's & other DVD-R's.

I created a second DVD and reduced the Max bitrate (2-pass VBR). Under 'Verify' in ReelDVD (3.0.3) it now reports the following:

Info === Verification 04-t ===
Info -- Total bitrate --
Info Main video bitrate = 7150000, data = "04"
Info Audio stream ID = 1, bitrate = 224000, type = AC-3, data = "04_1"
Info Sum of audio bitrate = 224000.
Info Total bitrate = 7374000 [ audio + main video ]
Info === Finish.[Verification] ===

The problem persists. I don't believe that it is a bit rate problem so what could be causing the trouble?

Sonic CinePlayer plays both the hard disk and DVD versions of the project OK on the computer.

In total I have 110 minutes of Video / Audio. Image Encoding Rate in ReelDVD is set to 7.0 Mbps. There is only one audio stream per track. There are no subtitles.

I don't believe it is a field order problem because the picture quality looks excellent in the parts where it does not stutter.

The DVD-R medium is Verbatim.

Brian

First I would slow the burn speed down. If that doesn't work I would try different disks. Even though Verbatim are decent disks it doesn't mean your player will be compatible with them.
I would also try out the DVD+R format to see if it's a compatibity problem with the disks.

Which software are you using to author and burn the disk?


BF  2004-02-02 17:26:11 ( ID:llkq183uyem )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

ReelDVD creates an ISO image for me and I use Roxio (Easy CD Creator 5) to burn the DVD as a disk image.

That way I can slow the burn speed right down, which I do by setting it to 1x speed.

ReelDVD offers no control over disk burn speed.

Ideally I need to stick with DVD-R and Verbatim media is used because they are printable.


Regards,
Brian


ashy  2004-02-03 23:18:36 ( ID:ehq4qkv3gtr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I would definitely use a different burning program.
Roxio (Easy CD Creator 5) is NOT known for being the best burning program and don't think it's too good for DVD either. I don't even think it will burn the ISO in the right UDF format.

I would try Nero.
You would be better just burning the authored files directly with NERO's 'DVD-video' mode rather than creating an image first with ReelDVD.

If that doesn't work then try TMPG DVDauthor to author your DVD.


BF  2004-02-04 11:47:00 ( ID:llkq183uyem )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I've got on well with Nero when I've used it before in the past so I might give it another go.

Regarding the right UDF format, do you know if a DVD-R (video) should be burnt with "UDF Bridge" enabled or disabled?

Regards,
Brian


ashy  2004-02-05 12:27:28 ( ID:4mt1ots/7tc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Do NOT use UDF bridge for DVD video. It is for data applications only.
UDF bridge is a combination of UDF and ISO 9660. DVD video uses only UDF.

Just try Nero's DVD-video mode. Make sure you have the latest version for burning DVD's, currently v6.3.0.2.


BF  2004-02-05 14:00:11 ( ID:llkq183uyem )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I downloaded a demo version of Nero 6.303 and burnt a DVD-R in DVD-video mode. I also re-flashed the Sony DRX-500UL with the latest firmware (500A_20h) before hand.

Unfortunately it made no difference :-(

So I guess it's either poor media and / or the encoded MPEG file being at fault.

Incidentally I spotted this URL:
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?threadid=61142
which suggests using the DVD-UDF/ISO option in Nero to burn a video DVD (Step 5: DVDR Burning). This mode also has the option to select "Force DVD-Video Compatability Mode (Required for XBox)". I haven't tried it yet.

Regards,
Brian


ashy  2004-02-07 17:36:13 ( ID:9id7dwdyfvg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

That advice used to be for the earlier buggy versions of NERO that used to burn in the wrong UDF mode.
That has all been taken care of now. The XBOX compatibility mode is simply to make sure the DVD is burned as a DVD-video.
The DVD-video mode will automatically burn for XBOX compatibility and will burn the DVD in the most compatible UDF mode.


BF  2004-02-08 17:41:36 ( ID:llkq183uyem )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I finally tracked down the source of the problem and it did turn out to be the media, although there is a slight twist to the story.

What baffled me is how the same media from the same stock that I had used on a previous project without problem suddenly started causing the stuttering and jumping.

The evidence did point towards the media but the only difference that I could see between the two projects was the parameters used in the MPEG-2 encoding.

Late Friday I created another test disc that contained a selection of encoded files with different MPEG values, mainly GOP related.

When I played the disc it still stuttered on each of the sections. This finally convinced me that the problem was not MPEG related.

Saturday morning I decided to watch my new test DVD again. This time the disc played perfectly!

It was then that I realised what the difference had been all along. Heat!! The DVD player and Amp had been switched off overnight and in the morning they were cold.

In the last project I had only played the DVD's when the system was cold.

When the amp is left on all day, like it usually is, the heat rises making the DVD player on top of the amp hot. The DVD player also generates a lot of heat when it is switched on but that is a separate cause for concern.

After 5 minutes of playing the heat built up and the same problem appeared.

The DVD-R's I had been using were the crazy looking Verbatim (Reorder 43207) which have the printable area nearly all the way into the centre of the disc.

Towards the hub of the disc, in the printable area, the name 'Verbatim' and 'DVD-R 2x' is etched in. I think this may cause the disc to run in an eccentric manner or alter the aerodynamics of the disc. It would appear that heat exasperates the condition.

The effect is similar to sticking Neato CD labels on a DVD. Some players, mine included, have trouble playing afterwards because the disc is imbalanced and / or the aerodynamics change.

There is also another version of these Verbatim discs with a slightly different reorder number that doesn't have the printable area going nearly all the way into the centre. The manufacturer ID is the same MCC 00RG200.

I tried one of these discs and it stuttered as well, but nowhere as badly as its sibling.

I also tried three other brand of discs, those with Manufacturer ID's TYG01, RITEKG04 & PRODISCG01. They all played perfectly, even when the system was hot.

Next step is to see how each play when they are printed on. Then it's time to move the DVD player :-)

Brian





Free talk - Cut Problems No.40824
holmz  2004-02-01 04:53:41 ( ID:yhzpmzuegur )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I've been looking for a conversion program for quite a while, and then came across TMPGEnc. I downloaded the free version and i love it. I've been using it for about 3 months without a problem. Now I have problems. When i try to cut my converted avi, it does the first half of the movie without a hitch. Problem is, when i do the second half, it goes through all the processes of cutting, but when i go to the folder where i saved it, it comes up as just a "file". It says the file size, which is about the size it should be, but that's all. I'm really at a loss here because it worked for me before. I've tried un-installing it and re-installing, and no luck.

I don't know what to do, as I always do the EXACT same way as i do all my other files that i convert. I've tried it with 5-6 different files and always the same result.....just the first half.

Any ideas?????

Question - MPEG-2 Questions No.40821
Sakuya  2004-02-01 03:00:47 ( ID:6y4cusar5hr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I was wondering how large MPEG-2 files are in terms of file size? And how many hours it took you to convert a 1 hour movie? How about a half hour movie?

If you're using a normal DVD template, the video size is set to 720x576 (I think). If I had a downloaded movie whose size is 712x400 or even 640x360. They're both widescreen movies where the black bars have been removed. Since the resolution is smaller, won't TMPGEnc have to resize it to 720x576 under 16:9 keep full aspect ratio? Won't the video lose some quality due to the resizing? :(



Minion  2004-02-01 03:58:20 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yes any time you Resize an Image so the Resolution is Larger you Loose some Quality, I personally will Not Make a standard Full D1 DVD useing Files any smaller than about 576+360 ,Smaller resolution files I usually Put on DVD useing the Half D1 DVD standard or the Sif DVD standard....


Sakuya  2004-02-01 06:52:20 ( ID:6y4cusar5hr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What are those? Are those available on TMPGEnc Plus? Is there any other way of putting them onto DVD without resizing?

Hi. I know that when I convert to MPEG using the "Output to MPEG" feature, there is a checkbox I can check to shut down after the conversion is complete. But does it shuts down only TMPGEnc or both the program and the computer? Because I have a feeling my computer was on all night and I wanted it to shut down plus I checked the option. :(

Question - Top and Bottom bars missing in mpeg No.40816
e_sela  2004-01-31 17:40:16 ( ID:spssrnwhy22 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, I have a poroblem
I have a DivX movie which is 608*320 pixels.

My wish is to decode it from DivX to mpge, and that what i do.
But when I open the mpeg file, I see that Top and Bottom bars (black ones...)
are missing in mpeg.
This is a serious problem because the movie in mpeg is streched vertically...

What can I do to avoid the cut of the 2 black bars ?


Minion  2004-02-01 03:53:37 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I can not help you untill you tell us what you are encodeing to, VCD?? SVCD?? DVD?? Pal?? NTSC?? ...If you happen to be encodeing this File for Full D1 NTSC DVD then there will have to be some Black Bars on the Top and Bottom to keep the Correct aspect ratio and to Not distort the Images proportions....If this is what you are doing then go to "settings" to "Advanced" to "Video Arrange Method" and set it to "Center Custom Size" then underneath that set the resolution to 704+384...This should Displat the Video in the exact same propertions as the Original but centered within the Standard Resolution of 720+480 ,If you try to get rid of the Borders the image will be stretched Top to Bottom....Cheers

I am trying to convert avi to VCD PAL, and I don't want to get rid of the 2 bas, but to make them stay in the VCD itself.
Is it possible?
