I am new to the video business and to this mail list but feel like I have run into a brick wall. I am trying to create VCD from jpegs from a digital camera. I have gotten two different error messages during the final step when I try to create the VCD:
1. Drive does not accept any cue sheet variant - please report, when using cdrdao, and 2 The toc inconsistent error message when using various gui's. While I have access to MSWindows, I am a Linux user and prefer to solve this task in Linux within the terminal window. I don't know if anyone can take the time to look at this, but sure would appreciate the help. I have placed allot in this email and hope that it is not going into too much detail. Here are the steps (from www.mir.com/DMGstills.htm/) that I followed: 1. To convert jpeg to ppm format jpegtopnm filename.jpg > filename.ppm 2. To convert ppm to mpeg still video stream for PAL - VCD low resolution format ppmtoy4m -I p -F 25:1 filename.ppm | yuvscaler -O SIZE_352x288 | mpeg2enc -f 6 -T 42 -o filename.m1v 3. To convert that into a mpeg system stream mplex -f 6 -o filename.mpg filename.m1v 4. To generate cue & bin VCD image files vcdimager --iso-volume-label="My Text VCD" *.mpg 5. To generate VCD cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 --speed 4 --eject videocd.cue I could use Xine or VCL or any of the DVD players to view the mpg files from step 3. That looked ok to me. Here are the results from steps 4 and 5. Print out of step 4 was: ---- [root@localhost video_hold]# vcdimager --iso-volume-label="My Test VCD" *.mpg ++ WARN: initializing libvcd 0.7.12 [linux-gnu/i686] ++ WARN: ++ WARN: this is the UNSTABLE development branch! ++ WARN: use only if you know what you are doing ++ WARN: see http://www.hvrlab.org/~hvr/vcdimager/ for more information ++ WARN: INFO: scanning mpeg sequence item #0 for scanpoints... ++ WARN: mpeg stream shorter than 75 sectors ++ WARN: sequence items should contain a motion video stream! ++ WARN: this VCD type requires an audio stream to be present INFO: scanning mpeg sequence item #1 for scanpoints... ++ WARN: mpeg stream shorter than 75 sectors ++ WARN: sequence items should contain a motion video stream! ++ WARN: this VCD type requires an audio stream to be present INFO: scanning mpeg sequence item #2 for scanpoints... ++ WARN: mpeg stream shorter than 75 sectors ++ WARN: sequence items should contain a motion video stream! ++ WARN: this VCD type requires an audio stream to be present INFO: scanning mpeg sequence item #3 for scanpoints... ++ WARN: mpeg stream shorter than 75 sectors ++ WARN: sequence items should contain a motion video stream! ++ WARN: this VCD type requires an audio stream to be present INFO: scanning mpeg sequence item #4 for scanpoints... ++ WARN: mpeg stream shorter than 75 sectors ++ WARN: sequence items should contain a motion video stream! ++ WARN: this VCD type requires an audio stream to be present ++ WARN: file `videocd.bin' exist already, will get overwritten! ++ WARN: file `videocd.cue' exist already, will get overwritten! ++ WARN: string 'My Test VCD' fails d-character constraint (pos = 1) INFO: writing track 1 (ISO9660)...
