.mpg to anything else

[gamerchris]

Is there a way to convert the .mpg file that dvd2svcd make to anything else. I've tried TMPGenc and it had an error

Well actually I wanted to make like an .avi

virtualdub

[gamerchris]

I've tried that and I can't even open it because it has an error and it says MPEG IMPORT FILTER: pack synchronization error. oh and the movies a .mpeg is it different then .mpg?

[RadicalEd]

hmm not sure about the synch error but another way to open it is to create an avisynth script with the line

DirectShowSource("path/file.mpeg", 29.97)

replace 29.97 with whatever the framerate of the mpeg file is (usually 29.97 or 23.976)
and load the avs into virtualdub

Sorry but i'm kinda new to some of this did u mean that file that dvd2svcd make named avisynth?

[RadicalEd]

open notepad and type

DirectShowSource("path/file.mpeg", 29.97)

then save the file and change the extension to .avs
open it in virtualdub and it should work
obviously change path/file to the real location of the mpeg file

thanks just wondering why does it say it's a mpeg but them in the command line it has to be mpg?

[RadicalEd]

wha? :O what commandline, nono, the avisynth script (script not commandline) can have .mpeg, although if you want you can change the file name to .mpg (.mpeg and .mpg are interchangeable) and use that. Unless I misunderstood the problem
