mpeg to dvd (can it be done?)

[conafam]

Hi everyone.

I see alot of article on DVD to DivX but can MPEG's be converted into a DVD file so that it can be burned to a blank DVD and played on a standalone DVD player.

Cheers

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) If not already DVD-compliant, use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the MPEG to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this (This step may not be necessary, if your MPEG-2 filies are already in DVD compliant format)

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)


**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress


If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")


Let us know of your success ;>}

I have a diferent suggestion.

If you have Nero 6 and more precisely Nerovision Express 2 it's perfect, simple and easy.

Open Nerovision express 2>>Import files>>Burn

The program will convert the files and burn them, all you need to do is make sure the settings are correct, maybe even add some Menus.

1,2,3 go!

IMO you're better to use Tmpgenc or Mainconcept (my favorite) to make compliant mpeg1/2. Let Nero for the burning process. Use Tmpgenc Dvd Author (or equivalent) to make the necessary dvd files then burn.
