How to Convert .M2V to DVD ?

[xbox360]

Hello to Everyone, does anyone know how to reencode .M2V to make it DVD compiliant ?, please.

You need a DVD authoring program, such as TMPGE DVD Author. Your M2V has to be properly coded, too, otherwise you'll need a MPEG2 encoder.

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) If not already DVD-compliant, use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .M2V to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this (This step may not be necessary, if your MPEG-2 files are already in DVD compliant format)

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" v.1.6 (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:

**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")

BTW - .M2V files are typically video-only streams...

Let us know of your success ;>}

TMPGenc v2.524.63.181 say's can not open, or unsupported.

Hi,

You can try muxman. It accepts m2v as video input and produces standard DVD files. I don't know if it requires an audio (AC3,mp2) input also.

Good luck

Try a program called MPEG-Streamclip.exe. I have found it usefull for DeMuxing and Muxing. It gives a variety of options.

When you run tmpgenc, go to OPTION, ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING, VFAPI PLUG-IN and make sure there is a check beside the box next to CRI Sofdec MPEG Decoder. This should allow you to open an mpeg-2 file.

FROM AN OLD POST OF MINE:

This is just a note to all TMPGEnc users, there is a new plug-in available that allows you to open a whole whack of different files, including M2V and VOB.

The web site (Japanese, sorry, I can't read it either!) is:

www.marumo.ne.jp/mpeg2

The filename is m2v_vfp-0.6.51.lzh (includes English docs and source code)

The answer to this is to use the TMPGEnc Plus Version, worked like a charm !

Here is a problem, I cant open .avi files( can not open, or unsupported), I have the latest DivX Codec, so is there any divx vpf, please help, I'm using TMPGEnc Plus.

Here is a problem, I cant open .avi files( can not open, or unsupported)1) What software and procedures did you use to create these .AVIs?

2) Load one of them into GSpot and post a screen capture here...

Under "Environmental Settings", you have to make sure that the Direct Show Multimedia File Reader has the highest priority.

Or, just make sure the only one you need is the one that's checked, AVI2 open dml is good for most avi files...
