Man have you ever been in that situation where no matter what you try, some problem always happens?.
For the last 2 weeks I have been trying to place svcd or vcd movies onto DVD. I have read almost every post in here and although some offer ideas, they are not really what I need or understand. I am hoping that there is at least one kind sole out there who can put me out my missery. I'm on my second pack of 25 dvd's now and running out of patience. Getting up at 5.30am with the kids and checking to see if my project has been succesful is getting depressing now.
I have read the svcd>dvd guide on here. I have no problem now joining .Mpg or converting to .mpg files from svcd .dat files or mpg.
I can join succesfully multiple files to form one large file.
My problem is transfering the project to DVD.
Today I tried Nero Vision Express which i hoped would work as it has a very noob easy user interface. Everything seemed fine. The finished program worked on my computer hurrah .. take the disc out and placed it in my stand alone samsung dvd player .. I get the menu up .. and thats it .. nothing.
I took the same discs ( as i tried many methods ) to my father in law who happens to have around 5 dvd players .. samething menu and chapters appear .. movie does not play.
I don't understand how it can work fine on my computer using Neroexpress .. but not on dvd players? I downloaded the Nero manual and everything seemed correct what i was doing.
I have tried several other programs including Ulead DVD workshop to place my .mpg and to encode it to mpeg2? I did get it working by chance once .. but couldnt do this again.
Please could someone point me in the right direction. As i said before .. mergeing the files I am fine with .. its finalizing and burning to dvd that will work on a stand alone dvd program that is the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
