Converting MPEG-1 to DVD

[andy_83]

Hi,

I have several MPEG movies I have made myself and I wanted to convert them so I can play them on a standard DVD player. Everytime I do this, the finish article ends up with an audio sync problem, whereby the sound is a few seconds ahead of the audio.

I have tried the following products: -
TMPGENC DVD AUTHOR
DVDSANTA
NERO VISION EXPRESS 2

Can anyone suggest anything to do, as I do not know what to try next.

I appreciate any input.

hi and welcome to the forum!

first we have to know what exactly you are dealing with! is it mpeg1 or 2, what AR are the videos in, etc

secondly, pls take a look at the doom9 guides... especially this one (in case you're dealing with mpeg2):
http://www.doom9.org/mpg/svcd2dvdr.htm

Furthermore you'll might want to take a look here. those guides might be a little more advanced, but definitely worth a closer look

This could be a problem with a change of samplerate of the audio in the MPEG-1 file up to the standard 48000 Hz, so perhaps using a higher quality resampler like SSRC will help:

Never used TMPGEnc DVD Author, but in regular TMPG you can go via "Options --> Environmental Settings --> Audio Engine tab --> Sampling Frequency Converter 'external program'" and point to SSRC.exe

Thanks for the quick reply!

The video type is MPEG-1, 352x240 and the aspect ratio is 4:3

The sound is 44.1khz and as Bogalvator has said, I need to convert is to 48khz. I tried the software you recommended to convert the sound and it comes back with an error saying it can't be used as an external encoder.

Thanks for spending the time to help.

didn't the svcd2dvdr guide, uses to mention mpeg iso (files) can be burned on a dvdr and played, if the dvd player allows it

that's what i do, but only cause i'm too lazy

Headac3he can be used for re-sampling, and adding delays. If the delay is from the start and doesn`t increase you need to either add or take away a piece from the start of the audio stream. DVD author is good for this as you can preview the sound without writing the dvd first.
