MOV,MPG,VOB To MPG and VOB+others to MPG2 Surround Sound

Post by itspete » Sat May 27, 2006 9:53 pm

Note: MOV file tested was of an H.264/ACC Video Codec and ACC Audio Codec). You can try on others.
If it does not work, then tell us and well have a look for you.

Remember to set the ASPECT RATIO in Settings->Video Codecs-FFMPEG

(VOB to MPG2 with Dolby 6 Channels see further down).

Audio TAB:
MPlayer
FFMPEG Audio Codecs (also try Lame MP3)
44100Hz (do not use 'As Source' unless same format IN and OUT)
All else no set, unless required

Video TAB:
Bitrate slider(or type) 1152Kbps
Select 'Fixed Bitrate'
Format: MPG-1 or MPG-2 (MPG-1 for VCD etc)
Bitrate Control: Default

Container: MPEG with OPTION: MPG-1 or MPG-2 (MPG-1 for VCD etc)

Picture TAB:
Resize Video: 352x288 (MPG-1 standard or set as needed)
Crop Video: Select if required.
Rotation: Select if Required.
Frame Rate: 25.00 (MPG1 standard) see below:
Everything else must be empty (not selected).

Time TAB: Select as required for Film Length wanted etc.
Texts TAB: All unselected (empty not checked).

Audio Output Container: (Right side TABS)
Select FFMPEG:
Set Audio Format to: MPEG Layer 2
Bitrate Slider (or Type) 224 (can use 128)

For Output MPEG:
Screen sizes: 240x192, 320x240, 352x288, 384x288, 480x480, 640x368
640x480, 704x480, 704x576, 720x480, 720x576
Screen Bitrates: (Default 1152 MPG-1) or +/- in 48's eg;1152,1104
Frames Per Sec: 23.98, 25.00, 29.97, 30
Audio 44100, 22050, 2400, 48000

VOB to MPG2 with Dolby 6 Channels

Audio Tab:
MPlayer
Stream Copy
44100
Down mix:Disabled
Gain:0 db
Audio:0
Language: Empty

Video TAB:
Bitrate:2496
Rate Mode: Fix Bitrate
Format: MPEG-2
Bitrate Control:Default

Container TAB:
Format: MPEG Option:MPG-2
Nothing else needed

Picture TAB:
No Resize and Crop (unless needed)
Rotation: Disabled (Unless needed)
Frame Rate: 25(default) or 29.97 (your choice)
Nothing else

Time TAB: Set all to 00:00 or as needed

Texts TAB: All Empty unless needed

RESULTS ARE:
=========

Hi,

I am trying to do pretty much exactly what you described here. These are .MOV files from a Kodak digital camera. I setup all the settings as you described, and it failed. So I tried a lot more settings as well, and still no success. Here is the console window display when it tries:

Code: Select all

Any help is appreciated!

Jon. A Bit naughty posting in this area. I will answer you, but please put
questions in the 'Question And Answer' Forum. I am trying to keep
this area for 'Tips And Guides' and nothing more. Otherwise, we may
never see your posting, until we update this area. OK? Thanks.
Back to your problem.
Your Frame Rate 959 is way over the limit for manipulation and is not
allowed for an MPEG-2. It's 25 or 29.97/30 max.

By the way, does MPlayer play your file. If it does not, then you will
have to try something else....Let me know in 'Q and A' please and I'll
try and find something that will help you.

However, try the NEW VOB to MPG2 with surround sound settings.
Set MediaCoder as stated and give it ago. It just may work.
Let me know in 'Q and A' forum.

All the best
Charles (Not an expert, just learning as we go). :wink:
