    Mpeg Conversion to Avi

    I've been getting some movies recently that are in SVCD format...actualy the start out in .bin/.cue files and I've been using nero to convert to SVCD using the Image CD option...however, these new files wont play on my PC software DVD player or any other player like bsplayer...If i use software such as VCDGear i can strip the Mpeg file out of the .cue/.bin file and this is viewable on ASUSDVD...So here is my question is there a simple way to just convert them all over to DivX that will maintain decent picture...I guess its only 480X480 now...Or atleast get software that will play my new SVCD CD's cause right now I got pretty coasters i guess....Dunno why anyone would encode a movie to Mpeg2 but.......Help would be apreciated. Thks..

      In my experience in order to play an svcd disc. You must have a DVD-ROM DRIVE installed on your PC. A cd-rom/rw drive will not suffice.

      Also, if you intend only to view the files on your PC, why burn at all? Install daemon tools and mount the *.cue file. You can then play the bin/cue combination on your software dvd player.

          Burning SVCD

          Ahh... you see my DVD rom is out of commision right now but when it is up you think it will play the SVCD...Good...The reason I am burning is that the files are all like 2-3GB therefore 3-4 CD's and I just don't have the HD space for that...I've been dloding 2 a day and 80Gig HD only spreads so thin...lol...Thks...hope to have the DVD Rom in tonight so hopefully the SVCDS will play in that...

              Yes a dvd-rom drive should fix your problem.


              There are those of us who still live on 30 gb Hdd

                  nope

                  you definitely wont need a dvd drive in order to be able to play the files!

                  install powerdvd or windvd and load the files through FILE MODE

                  tsunamis filterpack 396 might be worth having installed as well since it provides playback filters

                      Tsunami..

                      Well i was wondering if there was a missing Codec/filter....But I just installed Nimo...and I've got a whole lot of others installed too...sure its ok to just dump Tsunami on as well...I've already had some films that went funny on me from other codec packs...ie the morgan pack...But 95% still work....

                          from my p-o-v and experience there are no filterpacks as reliable as tsunamis 396!

                          nimo has caused not few errors on many systems!

                              tsunami

                              So if i go with Tsunami...do i need to uninstall the other ones first???...will Tsunami replace all of the codecs i need...Xvid, AC3...etc....for typical playback of downloaded movies..

                                  download 396 from my page and install it via CUSTOM settings (keep all defaults + maybe moragn stream switcher for bilingual files)

                                  you wont have to uninstall other stuff
