XVID on DVD Player - convert to VCD or DVD? |
|
|
I've downloaded some XVID files that I want to watch on my DVD Player,
they're 640x480 - 23.86 fps - 1012 kb/s bitrate,
do I convert these to VCD or DVD?
I'm using TMPGENC.
TIA

I'm not sure if you can use TMPGenc to convert XviD / DivX files to DVD/VCD.
You can use VSO DivXtoDVD though,it works very well,and then you can author
the files/make an image using DVDShrink

If you have TMPGEnc Plus (or any TMPEG with mpeg2 dvd encoding
support) you can convert xvid to dvd provided you have the codecs on
your system. Drop the file on AviCodec freeware to see the info.
If you need more codecs try www.free-codecs.com for downloads.
Assuming you can convert the video and audio, the other thing that
comes into play when creating an NTSC DVD is audio out of sync. When
you change from a lower framerate to 29.97 NTSC the audio can lag
behind so that if you watch the lips of the people in the video it
looks dubbed.
There's a bunch of ways to fix this. The method I like uses TMPGEnc
Plus and DGPulldown(freeware)
Get a guide for doing it here:
http://www.johnisme.com/avi1.shtml
Also if your xvid has audio that TMPGEnc doesn't like many times you
can drop the video on GoldWave or another audio editor app and save
the audio as a .wav file. Then use the .wav file as the audio input
to TMPGEnc Plus when you do the conversion.
I convert a lot of divx/xvid to dvd to watch on my stand-alone player
and the above method works for me to avoid that annoying audio lag.
When the input video is 29.97 framerate and supported audio then I
just pop it through DivxToDVD app too. It's a cool little app.
Oh, I almost forgot. When you're done converting the video in TMPGEnc
Plus and DGPulldown you end up with a video .m2v file with DGPulldown
added onto the name, and a .mp2 audio file. An easy and cheap(free)
way to create a VIDEO_TS folder from these is to use DVDAuthorGUI.
See www.videohelp.com for DVDAuthorGUI guide but once you do the
first one you can do simple DVD authoring with chapter points in your
sleep. It's a nice little app that even has removable subtitle
support. |
