Hello,

Thanks for the information i have read on the website regarding the TMPGEnc software. But i have a vacation video of my family and i wanted to convert this .avi file that a buddy made on the computer and put it on a cd and read it in my DVD player. Forgive me i am very new to audio and video editing. I converted the .avi file to a .mpg file but when i play the video as just an .mpg file i recieve no sound. I checked the "System" box and am using the unlock template. But i think im just about 80% to finally getting this finished. I know im close.

If i need other software could you point me in the right direction. Please.

Hey i appreciate the help.

Brian.

Not many DVD players will read DVD contents on a CD (this is called a "cDVD" or "miniDVD"). More common formats for video on a CD are VCD or a SVCD.

Although all three formats use MPEG video compression, they must use different settings (ex., VCD uses MPEG-1, not MPEG-2, and the resolutions and frame rates are also different).

If you're trying to make a VCD, I would recommend reading this page.

If you're trying to make a cDVD, please mention the following:
  • Source format (ex., DV AVI, captured from a miniDV camera using firewire).
  • Audio settings in TMPGEnc (these are the settings in the "Audio" tab).
  • Authoring program used (ex., SpruceUp, DVD Workshop, MyDVD, etc.).
  • Brand and model of your DVD player.
