[H] Time taken to convert an Avi?

2005-03-22 Thread Steve
Just wondering what how long it generally takes for others to convert avi's to SVCD? Currently I'm converting a BBC series "Wild Weather" into SVCD compliant PAL mpgs before converting them to DVD with SVCD2DVD. Each avi is approx 1hr long (720Mb) and they're taking me 2hrs each on a P4 2.8 with

I got a letter about this and just laughed and threw it in the trash. If they win the class action lawsuit you get money... in the form of rebates on Creative products. Hmmm let me think about this. You are suing the company because they either lied to you or made a crappy product, and yet you a

Encoded the video in TMPGEnc, imported into DVD-Lab, authored and burned from there. Verified the burn was okay by using Nero. Here's the weird part. I set my DVD player to do MPEG Audio -> PCM and voila, sound. Maybe its something weird with the audio file. Dunno. I usually rip the ac3 right

I just made a DVD and popped it into a set-top DVD player and it played fine but with no audio. I put it in a PC and there is audio. The audio file used is 16bit stereo PCM at 48khz, exactly what is required by the format. Any ideas? -- Brian

If it's within 4.7G, you need to use something like NERO, select disc type as DVD-Video (it's a different book format then a DVD Data disc, which, even if you have the right files will play in almost no settop player) and burn. Done. ;) -Original message- From: Steve Tomporowski [EMAIL
