Mpeg2 To Vob

[cyberdaz]

How Can I Change An Mpeg2 File, Encoded From Progdvb Into A .vob File. How Do I Change The Extension So I Can Place The File Onto A Dvd Disc To Enable It To Play In A Stand Alone Player.
I Have Tried To Convert The File Using Nerovision Express, Dvd Architect And Vegas And For Some Reason It Takes About 4 Hours. I Was Under The Impression That An Mpeg2 File Is Similar To That Of A Vob File And Only Needs A Slight Adjustment To Enable It To Play On Dvd.
Can Someone Help!

Hi!

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 MPEG 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" (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")


Let us know of your success ;>}

Hi thanks for your help!

However I think the problem is the encoder being used with ProgDVB. TMPGEnc is not recognising the file type and coming up as an error. I don't get quite understand why this is happening. The extrension attached to these encoded files are .mpg. Having check them out in Sony Vegas 6 they are definately MPEG2 files but they are not standard. Can you help?

TMPGEnc is not recognising the file type and coming up as an error.

1) What is the EXACT error message?

2) Just to be certain - Was it "TMPGEnc" or "TMPGEnc DVD Author" that generated the error message?

[cyberdaz]

The exact error message coming up is:

File \************\*****\ can not open or unsupported"


Any ideas?

Try to run the mpg through mpeg2repair (http://users.adelphia.net/~mwilczyn/mpeg2repair/)

Personally speaking, I would use: -

DGIndex or DGMPGDec (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=100757) - To de-mux your .TS, .PS or .MPG file(s) to elementary streams
AC3Delay Corrector - To trim the audio stream (if required).
MuxMan (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=93553) - To generate a full VOB title set.
