78% error
I also get the 78% error when importing assets. Could it be DVDpatcher can only handle 2gig max files as the problem? That is about the point when Maestro kicks it out. Anyway, I skip the step where you export mpeg file, skip pixel tools mpegrepair, and authoring still comes out fine.

I was wondering if anyone has tried DVDit with SVCD files. In DVDit you can create what they call a cDVD which is basically a DVD-Video format (with *.vob, *.ifo, etc.) disc on a DVD-R but allows you to use any MPEG2 files. So basically it will let you author a DVD with a 480x480 MPEG2 file. My question is, by using this cDVD format, will you be able to play the DVD it creates on a standalone DVD player?? With Nero Burning ROM you can basically do the same thing but with the SuperVCD settings, you can use any MPEG2 file (like 3000kbps 720x480) to create a SVCD (although it gives you a warning that the file is not within the SVCD specs). This SVCD Nero creates WILL play on my Pioneer 525 standalone DVD player. So would a cDVD created by DVDit play on my Pioneer?? I would try this but I don't have a DVD burner yet......

Yes this will work in a non-svcd standalone player... I have gotten it to work in my Pioneer DV-440, SONY DSP-S330, and another sony dvd player, and the playstation 2... both sonys don't support svcd or the ps2... the pioneer does, but it works in all of them... and no we can't post links on where to get the software... search and ye shall find

Hey guys, I've also got a copy of the 4 svcd's but there appears to be a some mpeg corruption in disc 2 and 3, most notably in Elrond's Council (the scene bridging disc 2 and 3). Do I just have a bad copy of said svcd's, or is that the way they all are?

another link to the file
The file is correctly attached in this forum, and it *quite* helpful.
One caveat: it uses DVD Maestro, so those without it are out of luck. I myself have a corrupted copy of the svcds, but was still able to use these directions. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=15833 --josh

Question
I know this thread has been down for a while but I have a question about nkarnold's process of SVCD to DVD (and didn't want to start a new thread). I've followed it exactly---step by step but am having audio sync issues towards the end of the movie (last part of disk 3). Originally I thought I had a corrupted disk 3 so I downloaded it and found that wasn't the problem.
Funny thing is that if I play the SVCD bin image it works absolutely fine--no sync issues at all. The sync only becomes an issue after Maestro has compiled the project. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can get the audio in sync or why it's not in sync in the first place? Thanks! |

SUCCESS!!!
Well nothing like a little trial and error to fix the problem. For those of you having problems with the audio sync on this project, here's what worked for me:
After each mpeg had been demultiplexed, I took the resulting mp2 files and converted them to wav using winamp's diskwriter output. I then ran each wav through soft encoder and encoded each separately into an ac3 file. I then imported each ac3 into media asset window in Maestro. I right clicked on the first audio track in the movie playback menu and then selected create audio sync track. Assign each ac3 to the appropriate video section and then click create sync track (or something to that effect). After it's finished a new ac3 will show up in the media asset. Use that ac3 file for the audio track, compile, burn, and you're done! Perfect sync. |

LOL
Don't know if this thread is dead or not. But to the last comment, HAH. Kinda funny when you think about it and look at the date the thread was started. Ok ok. Question...
Actually let me revise my question: This thread has not been posted to since feb'02. So, is the Pan.Scan idea no longer necessary and the simple patch to 352x480 has overtaken it, or is this still the way to go if you want to ensure that your movie can be played on ANY dvd player (provided of course it can read the media).

They are two solutions to two different problems. Patching the video simply enables you to import the video into DVDMaestro. Adding the Pan & Scan info is not necessary for all DVD players. It depends whether or not your dvd player will cope with finding a non valid resolution on a dvd. My dvd player doesn't. So I needed to patch the video files in order to import them into DVDMaestro plus I needed to add the Pan & Scan info so my dvd player will play the resulting dvd ok. Oh and yes that last comment was funny Last edited by rjgn; 29th October 2002 at 14:19. |
