DVD-VR software compatibility

[ryohki]

does anyone know which software is compatable with importing from dvd-vr discs?
I was using ulead dvd workshop, but the thing just keeps crashing out on me during multiplexing, and I'm growing tired of it.

I believe you'll find that "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (Different than "TMPGEnc" and "TMPGEncPlus") will accept .VRO files for input...

thanks for that....
but the question is, does it re-encode?
I need to re-encode the files for play on any standard dvd player.
I tried the free trial of TMPGenc, but it takes forever to encode (like 24 hours for 1-2 hours of footage) and the quality isn't that great
and I had heard that it was one of the best encoders. oh, and it didn't handle my AC-3 sound.

You're using the wrong program. As I said, use:

"'TMPGEnc DVD Author' (Different than 'TMPGEnc' and 'TMPGEncPlus')"

[ryohki]

yeah, but dvd author doesn't re-encode the files, does it?
or do I not need to worry about that?
edit: it would appear that I don't need to re-encode, as I tried a test and it works fine on playstations as well as standalone players. thanks for your help!

"thanks for your help!"

I'm not familiar with the -vr but my LiteOn 5005 usta record in +VR format. I did a drag and drop of the VIDEO_TS folder and then burned with Nero.
