[glock23c]

can anyone please tell me what i need to do to convert Mpeg files to dvd.. I have downloaded several music videos that i like that are in mpeg format and i want to burn them onto a dvd so i can watch them on my stand alone dvd player.i always see dvd to mpeg but not the opposite. please help thanks

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 ;>}

Ok setarip thanks for the info and as u explained to me things are working fine.. i have downloaded the dvd author and it works great. i have successfully turned the mpeg to dvd files.. man that kills ur hard drive space.. i delete once it is burned so all is good.. can you recommend another program that will copy dvd to dvd that will get rid of sescee encryption?? i am using smart ripper and dvd encryption but about half way through it says there is an error. then i go back to try it again and error after error burns up my HD. so then i delete what i have done again. i am unsuccessful at copying a dvd to dvd whether its my own or from any movie that i rent. i have Nero 6 but that wont work either. my OS is xp pro and a 40 gig hd and a 1.8 meg processer. thanks again and sorry for so many questions .. you are a big help

As you probably know, it is "Illegal" to copy rented DVDs.
