Hello!
I have been using DVD2SVCD to make bunches of high-quality DVD rips (each movie fits on a pair of CDs). These play beautifully on my Apex AD-1100W players.
Now, considering the high quality, dubbing a movie to a pair of disks isn't the end of the world, but I noticed that DVD2SVCD also outputs a pulldown encoded M2V file and an MP2 audio file. I assume that these are used to make the CD images that I've been burning so successfully.
To complicate an otherwise simple procedure, I'm trying to copy two or three SVCD movies to a DVD-R. I tried to find a DVD authoring program that would import these files, but was unsuccessful.
After reading in the forums a bit it was suggested that the SVCD resolution of 480 X 480 wasn't "DVD" compliant, so the next movie I ripped was at CVD resolution, which is a bit less in overall resolution but supposedly DVD compliant.
Well, the CVD video looks noticeably worse than the spectacular SVCD video that I've become accustomed to. So, considering that my Apex players do such a good job with the "non-compliant" SVCDs anyway, I'm wondering how I can take the M2V/MP2 files (or the muxed MPG files) generated by DVD2SVCD and burn them (two or three movies per) to
a DVD (with the simplest of menus, just functional enough to choose the desired movie).
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
