VSO Divx to DVD help

[Lee Smith]

I have downloaded this app from www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=vso_DivXtoDVD but it doesnt seem to want to what I expected it to do.

Does it just change the container file or does it reencode each MP4 file to a DVD standard burnable file?

Hi Lee,

I downloaded the vso Divx to DVD it works! But I rewrite all the mp4 file's to Avi's PCM audio with MP4Cam2AVI this will do the trick! The VOB file created in an new folder seems te be burnable. ( I don't care about al the other files just sel/del).
The mp4 format btw is also compatible with the quality encoder from tsunami! TMPGEnc-2.5 does really nice conversions in DVD compatible mpeg2 without converting to the avi container first.
Ulead Video studio 9 works ok for nice dvd motion menus.
But always use MP4Cam2AVI to create an compatible file.

Nice forum.

For editing magix music maker is real fun!
I'm now downloading pinacle studio trial to do some tests.

I like my new bronze xacti C5....

OK thanks for your reply.

I use mp4cam2avi for changing the Xacti mp4 files to avi extensions - hence editable in most video editing applications.

BUT what I want to achieve now is to burn a load of Xacti video files to a dvd to watch on a dvd player - just to have a record of the video files. I have created a polished fully edited dvd of the same Xacti files but someone has requested a dvd of ALL files to watch as some bits were not included on the edited dvd.

Therefore, do i use the original MP4 Xacti files or converted AVI files into VSO Divx to DVD to create a playable dvd without converting 2 hours worth of Xacti files?

Thanks

Hi Lee,

My experience with the VSO divx to DVD is that the AAC sound used in the MP4 xacti files is not accepted bij the program.
I think it is no problem to burn the (coverted) avi's with this program. I have used the PCM audio settings with Mp4Cam2AVI. It works fine.

But why should one do this? The original MP4 or AVI is better quality on an computerscreen and the file is a lot smaller. Just burn it as an data DVD. (The AVI's do play nice on WM10 without additional decoder I discoverd today)

Thanks for your advice but I originally had 3 hours worth of Xacti files of which I edited down to a neat 30 minute video and plonked it onto dvd. The person I gave the edited dvd wasn't entirely happy as I had missed parts of the video out (thats the whole point of editing!!! lol)

SO

I've now said (in temper) that I will burn a video dvd of EVERY xacti file in order as they shot it!
So,I think ive got to use the already converted MP4 to AVI files and put them through VSO to convert them to dvd compliant files so I can burn to a dvd video disk (not dvd data disk as my dvd player wont recognise them!)

I have just tried using the PCM uncompressed audio option and VSO does infact re-encode the AVI files to a burnable VOB file!

The only downside is that I was hoping it would be as quick as MP4CAMTOAVI converter - but i shall battle on regardless!

Thanks
