I have done it before with TMPGenc but it refuses to do it anymore. The MPEG
tools however do work fine and the video plays well in media player etc.

Any ideas?

Please don't rant about why re-encode an MPEG2 file as I want it to be
converted to a DVD compatible file because all the players I have ever
encountered do not play SVCD for some reason or another.

Many thanks in advance.

You either have to buy the mpeg2 license, or buy TMPGencPlus which has
it built in wityhout limitation IIRC.

Click on "Options" then "Envoronmental Settings".
-Go to the "VFAPI plug-in" tab.
-Right-click on "Directshow Multimedia" and choose "higher priority". Do it
again until it shows a priority level of 1.
-Then close out of TMPGenc, re-open it and you are ready to go.

This will usually fix the problem, if it does not then do a Google search on
using DVD2AVI to frameserve the mpeg file to TMPGenc.

Good luck getting a mpeg2 svcd file converted to mpeg2 dvd. I've never
managed to do it properly, always ends up with the sound well out of sync.

Same problem here when trying to convert SVCD to DVD.
Now, if the film is good enough quality I first use "SVCD2DVD" to change the
header info, then author the files using "TMPGEnc-DVD-Author", then re-use
"SVCD2DVD" to change the header info back.
Works OK and has the advantage that you can put more than one film onto a
DVD-R if you want to.
