Can anyone identify this format?

[robedk]

I am having problems with this movie, it will play in powerDVD fine, but the sound is out of sync in my Stand alone DVD. I would like to convert it and burn to disk to play on DVD's, but it is not in a format recognised by Virtual Dub or any other editing program.
Won't play on any media player but Power DVD. Disk has SVCD
files on it, but isn't SVCD.

Any one have any Clues

What dou you mean with "any other editing program"? If it's MPEG-2 you can use most of the DVD-De/Encoders like DVD2AVI.

The video track is in MPEG2 format and you say the CD has SVCD components and it plays (albeit out of synch) on your standalone DVD player. These facts would lead me to the conclusion that, despite your statement, this IS an MPEG2-SuperVideoCD.

If the audio stream was recorded at a frequency of 48,000Hz, this could be the cause of it playing out of synch on your standalone (Unfortunately, the text information you've posted doesn't reflect the audio frequency).

Thanks for the replies

As you can tell I am a beginner. I am hoping to salvage this movie,
if possible.(so it will play on my DVD. Does this mean I need to convert to avi then re encode to mpeg 2, but change the audio
frequency.

Ps how do I find out what the audio frequency is on this movie.

"Does this mean I need to convert to avi then re encode to mpeg 2, but change the audio
frequency"

No. Just load the file into TMPGEnc. After loading, if you look at the bottom of the TMPGEnc window, you'll see information about the file - including information about the audio frequency.

If it indicates 48,000Hz, click on the "Settings" radio button, then click on the "Audio" tab and change the frequency to 44,100.

Click on the "System" tab and change the mode to "MPEG2-SuperVideoCD". Click on "OK".

Enter a new filename for this modified file and click on the "Run" radio button to save the new file.

Use NERO (or similar) to burn ONLY (NOT to format) as SVCD.

Let us know of your success ;>}

Oooo... i love trivia

i have that rip, friggen thing was 4 CDs, wooha, id be pissed if i were you to after that, lol

one thing that has never yet failed me is nero, as this smart admin here is "sugesting as his prefrence" every SVCD or VCD i download i mount in a program called DAEMON tools, or WinISO and rip out the main files named AVSEQ01.meg. that is your movie in full, then i drop that into nero with my handydandy neroSVCD codec and shizzam! i got me a perfectly working what ever it is everytime, hope it helps

Only posting cause i cant sleep and im board as hell

i tryed it in TMGEnc and it wouldnt load, isnt that a program to make DVIX into SVCD ? i loaded it into FlaskMPEG and it gives nothing but an error no matter what i rename it to. i was just trying to make it anything other than an SVCD and its not working, lol, im shure now we have the same files, im gonna spend a few hr reading around trying to figure out what exactly this is i have here, i should try and use DVD2AVI but it splits the damn video and audio into sepet files, whf is that about ? lol

[Chris86]

its loadable into DVD2AVI, im converting into AVI and then back into MPEG2 then whatever wirdcrap is wrong with it ill be VaNqUiShEd !!!
