I did... but then it started saying error with the audio file .mp2 as I didn't have extracted from the file itself, then I don't know what to change above the start button in the screen, where you change the file size to 398. What should I do? I'm trying to squish 2 mpg1 around 450-550 ea onto 1 kvcd.

You can run it from cmd or you can make a direct access (right click button) in same folder as dicumciser, put your settings as you want (dicumciser.exe file.mpg 14250000 (i not remember now good)). Once created just double click.
When you want to change file and filesize, only need right click direct access and change parameters.

thanks again m8

This also can be made with a direct access with copy /b audio1.mp2 + audio2.mp2 audioSum.mp2 as parameters.
The direct access must to be in same folder than audio1 and 2 to avoid full path in direct access command line.

A newbie helps a newbie? Maybe...

The bits about

a=directshowsource("part1.mpg").killaudio()
b=directshowsource("part2.mpg").killaudio()
a++b

seem obvious, you want the video of mpg one only + video of mpeg 2 only. The a+b sets the output to the whole movie for the rest of the script commands to act on.

You extract the audio from both original movies (I'm sure someone withh tell you the name of the extract tool, I forget (is it mpegutils? or BBTools 1.9?), save to (for eg.) the movie folder.

Then open notepad type in
copy /b audio1.mp2 + audio2.mp2 audioSum.mp2

with audioSum.mp2 name to be what you want

then save that as audio.bat in your movie folder (or somewhere convenient where you put the demuxed audio files from above - if you don't know how to move around folders in notepads file save section, sell your computer...)

Now right click on that bat file you just save (open windows explorer, go to the folder, and right click the bat file) - select 'Open', and the bat file will run.

Now proceed with running the avs file into a fake avi, and then serve that to your encoder.

After (for me - 6 hours !!) a while you can then run whatever you use to remux the audioless new mpg, and the two-into-one file output from the bat file.

Viola!!

Help at all???

how do I do this?

would an encoder be tmpgenc? how do I run the avs file into a fake avi?

when do you type the above in the command prompt? at what stage? after using ....?????

confused

After you finish encoding all your audio parts, to add them together and create a single one part .mp2 audio file.

-kwag

makeAVIS.exe run this, tell it where your avs file is, tell it 'no sound', then tell it where to put the made avi file.

Yes, the encoder can be tmpgenc, cce, mencoder, Honestech, etc.

If you haven't got makeAVIS.exe, you'd have to have a google search for it, or go look on www.dvdrhelp.com 's tool section.

:oops: or do what he said below.. :oops:

or follow the guide i put up :)

I've got a slight problem. When I encode this script as the .tpr file in cqmatic and start encoding in tmpgenc.In the first half of the encoding process the scenes of the movies shows but the other half, the preview screen goes black. I haven't turned the screen off if thats what you think. I am just trying to combine 2 halves of the movie into 1 kvcd. This is my script

a=DirectShowSource("E:movie1.mpg").killaudio()
b=DirectShowSource("E:movie2.mpg").killaudio()
a++b

ConvertToYV12()
BlindPP(cpu=4)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =3,variance=0.1,seed=1)
Convolution3D(1, 6, 12, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
GripCrop(352, 288, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
Undot()
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
GripBorders()

my file is 352*288 and 44100 hz and I bought it.

No need to use moviestacker if you use a script including gripcrop/gripsize/gripborders.
Just think to change the parameters "WIDTH" and "HEIGHT" in the gripcrop line by the ones of your TARGET video (not the ones of the source).

But keep in mind that sometimes gripcrop gives troubles and then you have to return back to moviestacker.

can't use moviestacker it is an mpg file. What else can I do?

Movie stacker doesn't really need the read the source ! You can enter by hand the values for the source width and height and it will computes automatically the lines you need to do the resize/crop/borders.
You will just have to cut/paste these lines in your script.

the source boxes are greyed. I can't activate it. The only thing I can change is the Destionation format and resolution. What else do you suggest?

To look better : they are grey, but not greyED !
And you can write in them. Just try ... :-)

which screen in moviestacker are you referring to? I am looking at the Resizing and Video stream. The only boxes that are worth changing as they are changeable is the destination resolution.

The same. I currently have version 2.1.0 but it worked also with 2.0beta. Perhaps you have release 1.1 ?

Note: perhaps you have first to load a valid source whatever it is, and then change the values afterwards to put the ones of the mpeg you want to processs. Take whatever avi you have on your disc, or a d2v prject. Something that moviestaker can read.

mine is v2.0.0 beta 3 - my source files are mpg1's and aren't AVI or DV files it can't load into moviestacker. I am still trying to compress 2 mpg1's into 1 kvcd without success (so far).

which boxes in that screen can you change? I can't change any besides the end resolution.

THE SOURCE BOXES ! I can tell that in whatever language you want :-)

Now, with no source to "unlock" first these boxes, perhaps that it is not possible. I dontt remember how it was really under 2.0b but I'm sure you can modify them. (note : with 2.1.0 I can't change destination values by hand. You can ?)

BTW you can try with FitCD to see if it allows to do that. Moviestacker and Fitcd very similar.
