Hi

I have a problem encoding MP2-files. I'm in the process of making a DVD with some VCD files and was told that I just needed to convert the audio in the MPG-files from 44 kHz to 48 kHz and then I could author the files in TMPG DVD author.

TMPG DVD author can do this automatically but when I try the computer freezes.

I tried using (S)VCD2DVDmpg but the computer still freezes.

Besweet makes the computer freeze as well.

The only way I can actually encode to MP2 is when I make a PAL VCD with the wizard in TMPGenc.

So I guess I could reencode the files with TMPGenc without using the wizard and then choose 48 kHz in the audio settings.

But that's gonna take quite some time, and it would be easier just to reencode the audio.

Any suggestions.

Thanks,
