Hi all, As usual, sorry if this has been asked before, couldn't find the answer. Here is my (latest) problem. I want to transfer my home-made movies SVCD collection to DVD, on a "2 movies-per-disc basis". These SVCDs have been built with DVD2SVCD, and movies usually are spread over 2 or 3 Cds. At the time, I had selected the DVD2SVCD option allowing to repeat the 2 last seconds of first disk at the beginning of 2nd disk, in order to preserve some "movie continuity" after switching CDs. Now this is a pain in the fart factory, since I now have to edit the MPEG streams somehow in order to remove these repeating parts, since I want to merge all the streams together to generate a DVD. (By the way, I'm using the new DVDLab tool evaluation version, pretty good and fast at this job.) Now can someone tell me how I should edit my MPEG streams so to remove the 2 or 3 seconds that will be duplicated in the final stream and will cause the movie not to play smoothly at all. I know I can go throuhg M2Edit pro, but this will take time since it generally requires to demux and remux after editing). What is another good MPEG editor or any other efficient way to do this (I sure don't want to spend hours on this, since final quality will not be worth the time spent anyway (although it's still not that bad) Thanks a lot. Waldok:cool:
You could probably use ChopperXP or VOBSplit to chop off parts, but I don't know if you could get it exact enough. I know this isn't what you asked for, but why not just leave the extra overlap and make them separate Titles that you jump to when the first is over. It can give you an intermission and requires very little work. Even if you do chop off "almost enough" then it will still probably not be seamless enough to join as one. Best of luck.
or tmpgenc or, in DVDMaestro (or even DVDLab) you can cut the end of the file off. Enf...

@waldok Your last method sounds good. Did it work? BTW are you saying that you can have two SVCD movies in DVDLab and produce a title set per movie? I only managed a single title set...
@waldok: pity. On paper that looked like a good method. I will still point people to it as it might suffice for them. In my own case i can't see what all the fuss is about. 1/2 sec overlap is fine considering that the alternative is getting up off the couch & changing a SVCD CD! I still have what i would call a single Title Set in DVDLab. I have two SVCD CDs. Both are 800MB. In DVD Maestro(which produces a title set per 'movie' (each CD being a movie)) i get two vobs which map to these CDs. I.e. both are 800MB. In DVDLab i get one @ 953MB and one at 644 MB. That is the type of behaviuor you get with single title set programs like movie factory etc. Sorry if i'm wibbling about something you already know..... Single title set output would look like(in the case of 4, 800MB SVCDs): VTS_01_1.VOB (just less than 1GB) VTS_01_2.VOB (just less than 1GB) VTS_01_3.VOB (just less than 1GB) VTS_01_4.VOB (around 200MB) Multiple title set output would look like: VTS_01_1.VOB (approx 800MB) VTS_02_1.VOB (approx 800MB) VTS_03_1.VOB (approx 800MB) VTS_04_1.VOB (approx 800MB) Which do you have?
