Clueless - no play in the StandAlone player

[fuzzie]

Ok, sorry about this thread, but I have searched the forum and can't figure this out.

I can copy a DVD with DVD2SVCD and it works perfectly in the PC. I can use the Daemon Tols to simulate the image created. That plays perfectly. I go to make make a copy of that virtual disc, either by copying (with CDClone or Nero) or by image (again, Nero) and it won't work in the Stand Alone player (Toshiba 5 disc changer). The CDr will work in the PC.

I have tried different discs, no luck.

The Stand Alone player works with copies made by DUP-DVD, but of course those don't have the subchapters.

Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

Read up on this first come back and post in more detail it could be many things wrong one could be the format of movie/could be that it can't handle those type's of subs, but that is a guess i dont do subs myself.

[fuzzie]

Thanks...read that and others...search for a answer, but I may not know enough to search for the right info.

My system:
P3 500 mhz
384 RAM
40 gb harddrive

Movies I have tried: Platoon, City of Angels, Matrix, and now Harry Potter. All NTSC. I have tried both 16:9 and 4:3.

Just finished Harry Potter. Works great in the PC. Works great as a virtual drive too. Copied the virtual drive on the fly and got no errors. When I put the disc in the Toshiba 5 disc changed (which plays VCDs for me) I get a check disc error. Arrrgh.

Have you checked your DVD player at www.vcdhelp.com to make sure that it plays SVCD's and that it doesn't have any issues?

Mark

[fuzzie]

I did now...crap!
SVCD is not supported.
Thanks...wish I had gone there before buying it.
What a total waste of time!


Thanks for your help. Great program, crappy Toshiba.

[Head Hunter]

Not all hope is lost. Try this. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16404)

[chainsaw135]

@head hunter good link man thanks for taking the time out and doing a search.
@fuzzie if the link that head hunter provided helps you please report back so we know your problem has been solved or if it hasen't ect.

[fuzzie]

Cool, trying it now.
Got an error in TMPG:

318813 s packets caused buffer overflow. The MPEG file might cause error when it is played.

Got it for each MPEG file.

When I go to make a VCD in Nero Burning Rom, I get a warning:

The mpg file is invalid, need MPEG-1 which was encoded for Video-CD: audio 44.1 mhz stereo; 224kbits/sec; video: 352 x 240/29.97Hz or 352x240/23.976Hz or 352x288/25Hz.
The following problems were found
-invalid video stream: 29.97 frames/second 480x480 pixels

Chose 1) turn off compliance and continue 2) re-encode 3) cancel.

I tried 1 - turn off compliance and continue.
Disc plays in the Toshiba, but is a little skippy and there are no subchapters.

Did I miss something, or more likely, what did I do wrong?

Great link by the way!!

[Head Hunter]

Try using VCDEasy to prepare the the CD Images, it will allow you to add chapters, and it is easy to use. VCDEasy Guide (http://www.doom9.org/mpg/vcdeasy.htm)

[fuzzie]

Cool. VCDEasy did create the chapters (works in PC, still doesn't in stand alone...I'm seeing a pattern here).

Thanks for all your help.

May be time to look for a new stand alone...anyone want to buy a new toshiba 2715 5 disc changer?

[Head Hunter]

Did you select VCD 2.0 in VCD Easy, or SVCD?

[fuzzie]

VCD 2.0
I must be DVD-challenged!

[Head Hunter]

Thats actually what you should have chosen, I just thought you may have picked the other one and that was causing the problem.

[fuzzie]

Now when I go back to try again in VCDEsay, and pick the bbmpeg_muxed_file00.mpg file, VCDEasy analizes it and says it is not a valid movie file.
Weird.
