You have to convert it to MPEG2. DVD players only accept MPEG2. Then
author
the video with author software which creates ifo file, menu, etc. and
turns
MPEG2 files into VOB files. You will lose some quality converting to
MPEG2.
TMPGEnc is the best MPEG encoding software.
I am not sure to whom this reply is addressed.
But I did have a problem with avi files. I didn't know whether using them as
input to an authoring program (ULead Movie Factory) would create a DVD which
will play on a DVD player.
When I have done this lately, it has created a DVD with the VOB files, but
it would only play on the PC, not on the DVD player. So I thought that it
may be necessary to convert the files from avi to MPEG2 BEFORE using the
authoring software, i.e. that I need to use files in MPEG2 format (*.mpg) as
input to ULead.
But after much trial and reading some information, I am thinking that if the
authoring software writes the VOB files, then these must be DVD player
compatible, regardless of whether the input is avi or mpg. That is, that all
VOB files contain video in MPEG2 format.
Is this true?
Or do some VOB files actually contain video in avi format?
If the latter, then I can understand why such a DVD would not play on a DVD
player
