DVD2SVCD: How do I put Encoded svcd files on DVD-R?

I have some home movies that were put onto DVDR. The problem is that each DVD is only an hour and a half long. I want to double the amount of video on each DVDR, and converted them into SVCD. Here is where the problem lies: How do I put SVCD files onto DVDR and make it compliant in standalone dvd players? If anyone could give me a link or some tips it would save me a lot of headache. I've already posted in the doom9 site and no one responded. 8O My only hope now lies here...

Hi Bodyguard,

You can try to use a program called DVDPatcher, which modifies the mpeg headers on your SVCD mpeg files, and then you can try burning them on a DVD. You will still have to demux your audio and video streams, and re-encode the audio at 48Khz so that it is DVD compliant. Then remux both streams together again. You can use TMPEG to demux, and BBMpeg to remux. Then use a DVD authoring program like DVDit or DVD Workshop to author and burn your files. Search google for DVDPatcher. You'll find the site there.

Hi Bodygaurd,

I came across this method a while ago, you may want to give it a try

Code:

Converting SVCD to DVD-R with IFOEDIT 0.95 



Useing IFOEDIT 0.95 To Convert SVCD to DVD-R 



Ifoedit can convert standard SVCD from it's native 480x480 resolution and 44100 audio sampleing rate without any other programs. Ifoedit apparently makes no checks for DVD compliance and will automatically correct the headers for proper aspect ratio display and will author directly from the 44100 audio stream without re-sampleing. This example is for one SVCD but multipile SVCD's could be joined into one large MPEG file,I would recommend DV Tool for the joining. 



1.) Copy your SVCD .mpg to your HD. 



2.) Demux into elementary .m2v and .mp2 streams. You could use Tmpeg for this. 



3.) Rename the .mp2 stream to .mpa 



3.) Start Ifoedit 0.95 and select DVD Author,then Author new DVD. 



4.) Load the demuxed .m2v file into the video box. 



5.) Load the demuxed .mpa file into the audio box. 



6.) In the Output Stream Destination navigate to a VIDEO_TS directory on your HD. 



7.) Click O.K. and Ifoedit will create the requiered ifo and vob files in your VIDEO_TS directory. 



You can then burn to DVD-R with your favorite burning program. It will play in correct aspect ratio and the 44100 audio will play normally. 

Most DVD players support Mpeg audio and should have no problem playing 44100 audio. 

It's always best to make a test on DVD-RW to be certain your DVD player will support this xDVD.

This is a copy/paste of the original post but I cant remember where I saw it now, I have tested it to the point of making an image and watching it with powerdvd and it worked but I never burned it to dvd.

With this method you will need to join your mpeg files if you have more than one.

Hey thanks urban tec :D
That's easier than the way I had been doing it :wink:

You need a DVD authoring program for that. DVDit, DVD MovieFactory, etc.

The simplest is to use the freeware SVCD2DVDMPG from _http://www.svcd2dvdmpg.com/SVCD2DVDMPG/?

If you author them in Maestro then you dont have to initially join the svcd files together. In Meastro just load them each into a separate Timeline and link the action of the last chapter of one file to the start of the first chapter on the next file.
