Changing video format

[pinkfloyd]

I have something in **(S) --> QuickTime Movie Parser --> DV Video Decoder --> (R)** format and I need it in a format that can be burned onto a dvd and played in a dvd player.

Thanks

1) Try loading it into "TMPGEnc" with the "QTReader" plugin installed in "TMPGEnc" (DIfferent than "TMPGEnc DVD Author"). Then use the "TMPGEnc" DVD "wizard"/template to convert to DVD-compliant MPEG2 format.

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)
You can obtain a FULLY functional free 30 day trial version of this commercial program at:

www.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/tda.html

**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress


If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")


Let us know of your success ;>}

pinkfloyd,

it is the spirit of this forum to provide YOU with the knowledge/tools/resources for YOU to help yourself.

it is not intended to be one stop directory for you to find hired help. please edit your initial post/title to remove any references to payment.

then i would strongly suggest you role up your sleeves, make some coffee, and get prepared to bury yourself in the world of video conversions, by following the advice you get in this thread.

good to hear! kudos for taking the time to work it out :)

...not exactly sure what that has to do with conversions ... <shrugs> ... i just really like that song :D

[pinkfloyd]

ya, i was listing to that yesterday, oh boy what a day. Lets just say i could not have converted the file yesterday even if i wanted to, let alone understand how to work a computer.

@pinkfloyd

Just curious to know if your success resulted from following my suggested procedures or something else?
