MPEG combining more than 1file ...into 1 file.. and into VCD
Oh no! I used a program to put some MPG files I made into a single file from 3 files. The files were from a move I made, it was 1 hour and 15 minutes from 2 mini DV tapes, I then copied it to a VCR tape. I then copied it using my Matrox Marvel G400 and made the AVI files:
1)2 GIG
2)2 GIG
3)1.5 GIG
Total = 5.5 GIG file size.
Size files (because that's how it came out during the copy processes because of the 2 GIG size limits.
I took the Ligo MPEG Encoder and made MPG files from the AVI files. I used the MPEG-2, because I am going to take it and use my Adaptec CD Creator 4.0 to make a VCD. So, I thought that it might be better than making it with MPEG-1.
I then have 3 MPG files for a total of 0.89 GIG. Much less than the almost 5 GIG of the 3 AVI files. ( I have corrected a wrongly reported number...sorry)
I then took a program that takes the MPG files and puts them together into 1 large file. I used a program called MPG join. That was easy and fast, and free.
I have never made a VCD before, so I am reading experinces and directions.
Well, I was playing back the MPEG-2 (Single) file I made out of the 3 files, from AVI to MPG and it works. But, it appears that the sync of the sound and picture went bad in the 2nd file that was made into the 1 large file from the 3 seperate files. maybe joining them throws the sound Sync off from the picture Sync? You can see the people's lips move at a slightly but very noticable time from the sound in the video. While it makes no difference which program I am using Windows Media Player (for this purpose).
I will be making the VCD over the next day or so and wil find out if it fits on 1 CD, how it works, etc. From Adaptec (Roxio) I got a list of how different size files and types of files break down into size and time, depending on the quality and type of media.
All, in all a lot of work, and I stil did not do much else, no time for editing anhd playing with any othe rprograms like Premiere, Medi Studio pro, and others. I have done a small bit of video work and editing with these programs before, but for this project, my main interest is finding out if taking a tape from my JVC Digital Camcorder, making a VCR Tape copy, and making some computer files and the end reult a VCD to play on CD-Roms and DVD players.
And..by the way...these programs take many many many hours! to render the files with a PIII450 processor and Win98. Sooo...sloooow....AAArrghhh!! soooo slooooow!!
