Need help converting .bin and .cue to DVD

[videocheez]

I have a few bin and cue files that Succesfully converted to SVCD using VCDGear but am wondering if there is away using Avisynth and CCE to convert the bin and cue directly to DVD. I was thinking about converting the SVCD back to AVI using Virtualdub and then converting to DVD but wondered if anyone had advice that could help me avoid the back conversion. Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

I do not understand what are yo planning to do? If you are planning to convert SVCD to DVD, than you have to extract your MPG file from SVCD image first (CDmage will do) and than handle it as usually - demux video, audio, convert them DVD compliant and make DVD authoring.
Subtitles will be hard to convert, so better is to search them somewere else.
Or, if you are just planning to burn SVCD image to DVD matrix, I don't see the point to do this at all - this will not work.

Thanks for the reply. You have provided me with a little direction.
I have never worked with bin and cue so thats why my question is screwy. I have bin and cue files on hard drive not cd. I used vcdgear to make an SVCD compliant mpeg from the bin and cue. I dont want an svcd compliant mpeg. Instead I want a DVD compliant Mpeg. I guess my question is if I can use CCE to re encode and also resize an mpeg from 480 x 480 to 720 x 480. If so, what is a good plugin to handle the mpeg 2 and what numbers should i use for resizing in order to maintain aspct ratio. In the past i have only used cce to handle avi conversion so i dont have a clue how to use cce for mpegs.

Thanks in advance,

If your not too picky about compliance you could always try to patch the video header to fool the authoring tool (i know it works for both MaestroDVD and SpruceUp) into thinking it has the correct resolution. this way no reencoding is necessary. The program is called dvdPatcher and is free.

In either case you'd have to demux A and V. I use bbtools for this. It's a command line application, so get out notepad and write some nice batch files (very simple). TmpgEnc isn't reliable for synch.

To recap:

* Mount the .cue in daemon tools
* demux with bbtools dirctly from the virtual drive (you'll figure it out)
* run the mp2 (or mpa) file through BeeSweet with SSR option checked to resample audio to 48000. mp2 will do fine. it's out of specs, but that's allready violated :) otherwise try the ac3 encoder.

* start up dvdpatcher and load the video stream and set resolution to 720 x 480 and patch the header only.

* start spruceup/maestro and import the video streams as media assets. Save the project. Close the program and repatch the streams back to the original.

* Open spruce/maestro again. Import the audio and start authoring your DVD.

I've done this to all my old SVCDs. I've seen players where the picture gets wierd, but on most players it plays just fine.

Good luck.
