SVCD to DVD conversion problem.

[Dirkbox]

Well having found a programme to join all my Wav files together I thought I was nearly there with my LOTR transfer to DVD.

I followed the guide that was on this forum to the letter but I seem to be having some problems.

When I play the DVD on my DVD player I get only half the picture. The right hand side of the picture is missing (this is in 4:3 mode). When I change the output to pan & scan I get half of the picture but this time I also get the front part of the picture (bit that got chopped off) on the right hand side. I also get a little multi-coloured bock on the bottom right corner.

I double-checked that I had patched the SVCD header to 352 and then back to 480.

I know that my DVD player, Pioneer 525, plays SVCDs so that’s not the problem.

Any ideas?

Also is it not better to rencode the M2V file to DVD standard, this way it would play on all DVD players and not just one that played SVCD.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi!

Ive been having this problem since the first day I tried converting a SVCD -> DVD also. I have an Pioneer DV-525.

Could someone please help us out with this. :(

I wouldnt like to Re-encode the movies, It would take ALOT of time to convert all of em.

Thanks in advance

Stefan

Same problem here...
Almost seems like something in the guide is wrong.

When I switch to 352 for the DVD auth. program (DVDIT)
it will import the files, and like the manual says "don't forget to change the values back to 480" but then as soon I want to create the image OR burn the DVD is tells me that the settings are not right.
So I'm unable to make a DVD.
Tried with DVD Wise but then I'm getting the half/half screen
I repatched the VOB files with NOT the "Only header" but everything
that seems to work and fixed it. But now the Image is all the sudden to big..
in DVDit it was 4.88 gb so I'm screwed at the moment, cause I have to start all over again :-(
