AVI -> MPG convert/encode: Upside down

[Punga]

Hi guys,

I want to create a SVCD out of 4 AVIs (each 2GB) captured from a VHS Movie. My idea was to run DVD2SVCD with every of this AVIs and then
join the resulting MPGs to get the hole movie again. I hope this is the right way to solve my "problem" ?

My first problem: The resulting DVD2SVCD - MPG (bbMPEG_Muxed_File00.mpg) is encoded upside-down.

2nd one: How do I join the MPGs together again?

3rd one: Do I need to flip the MPG back to correct direction first?

4th one: How do I create a SVCD-Image (ready to burn) out of this resulting MPG?

Thanks for any help and hint!!!

upsidedown: add flipvertical() to your avisynth script

you might be better off joining the avi files before you encode, and then let DVD2SVCD decide where it should split up the CD's, but if you know what content you want on each CD, you can go ahead and make the multiple mpg's and just burn them separately(see next sentence).

DVD2SVCD can create ready-to-burn images, but if you want to do it separately, use VCDEasy, very simple, very effective, and you can do a direct convert+burn with a single click.

Ok I will take a stab at it.

#1 I agree with the above post. Always listen to this guy he knows what he is taking about.

#2 If you want to do them as seperate encodes and join them later the easiest way would be to not make images and burn all the final mpgs using Nero's SVCD template. Just drag and drop all of them onto the left side and they will end up like chapters. Make sure to use the latest version of Nero as older versions didn't do so good with SVCD's.

#3 Yes fix it before it's encoded.

#4 Use Nero to do it for you.

However I believe a better way is to ignore my answers above, except for number 1 and do this instead http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19940&highlight=multiple+AVI

just one more thing...
for the upside down problem, you don't need to edit your avisynth script, you just need to check that box "flip vertical" in the frameserver tab.
everything else is peeeeeeeeeeerfect :)
