Hi, On Friday I was given some MPEGs that were taken with a DV camera of my parents trip to South America a couple years ago. The guy had edited them and saved them as MPEG2 files. I loaded them on my computer and they play fine in Xine, however they will not play in Windows Media Player or Quicktime player (I'm not sure what codec he used). I tried opening them in RealPlayer and it said it was downloading a new codec but it just sat there and didn't seem to do anything. My main goal is to get these files onto a VCD so we can watch them on a DVD player. I used VCDImager and cdrdao to burn them as a VCD however VCDImager complained that MPEG2 files should not be used for a VCD 2.0. My DVD would recognize the CD as a VCD but would not play it. The same thing happened on my parents DVD. So I tried burning it as an SVCD which would play on my DVD but was very choppy. I then tried it on my parents DVD and their top of the line player will not play SVCDs (go figure). The VCD will play fine under Xine but I could not get either to work on my brothers Mac. I have been wasting CDs here trying to get it to work, but I cannot. I used Kmencoder to convert the files to DIVX and they work under Xine, but I have not tried to play them on Windows or MacOS. Last night I tried converting the MPEG2 files to MPEG1 with transcode. I used the example on their web site that is supposed to convert VOB files to VCD compliant MPEGs, but this morning I found that it was still going, and the file it was making was 4.5GB as apposed to the original which is under 200MB. Can someone please tell me how to convert these to MPEG1 files, or how to get this working?
Thank you, Jesse
