My clock seems okay on my computer. The time and date is correct. What
does it show for you?

It shows you as posting 3 hours from now at this end?

Btw, with respect to your original question, see if you can find anything
here;

http://allmedia.km.ru/

The site's virtually all in Russian, but aslong as you stick to the obvious,
it shouldn't be too difficult to navigate )

My burner came with Nero which works good, but it takes a long time to
encode a movie file. Are there any others out there that encodes more
quickly?

TMPGenc and AVI2VCD encode to VCD MPEG. However, TMPGenc is not praised for
its speed.

Good sites with software/tutorials for divx/(s)vcd production are
www.doom9.org and http://www.videohelp.com/. If I remember right the was a
freeware version of vcdeasy available (i've used it and found it be pretty
good) - a link I just found is http://www.pc-
magazin.de/datatip/common/dtt/download.php?areaid=66&fileid=2245

You might want to check this site out:

http://www.encoderx.co.uk/

(Damn, every time I load that page I wind up spending at least an hour
there schmoozing around. Oh well, here I go again....)

Not only that, but it's ability to encode to MPEG-2 is time limited.
Because of that, I consider it to be crippleware and stopped
recommending it's use.

YMMV.

 

[Onno Voors]

That limitation is not imposed by the author of TMPGenc, but by the authors
(or license holders) of MPEG-2.

recommending it's use

MPEG-2 encoding is not the issue here, Michael asked for a VCD encoder. And
TMPGenc is a full-featured MPEG-1 encoder. For MPEG-2, you could always
recommend version 12a.

Wouldn't that be rather pointless ? 12a cannot currently be downloaded
anywhere. Added to that one would also need the file to translate to
English.

TMPGEnc version beta 12a (0.11.20.98): Download [696K]
English resource patch for TMPGEnc beta 12a only: Download[94K]

Files are :

TMPGEnc-0.11.20.98-rel1.zip

tmpg_en0918.exe

Download links exist but they are either dead or link to
incomplete/corrupt files.

Perhaps there is an MPEG-1 to MPEG-2 converter that is free ? Anyone
know of one ? I expect that if one exists it is probably illegal.

Regards, John.

I see. Well, at least people will know what to look/ask for. It could be
posted to a group like alt.binaries.multimedia.utilities.

BBmpeg can convert AVI to MPEG-2 :

One could use Virtualdub to frameserve or to make an intermediairy AVI
using a lossless codec.

But that's not necessary. Apparently shouldn't have accepted Johns words as
accurate, because one google search gave me this link:

http://www.dvdhelp.us/php/pafiledb/pafiledb3/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=
125

and this one for the english patch:
http://www.dvdhelp.us/php/pafiledb/pafiledb3/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=
132

both files work.

Other download links:
http://www.pcphotovideo.com/Downloads/TMPGEnc-0.11.20.97.zip
http://www.pcphotovideo.com/Downloads/tmpg_en0725.zip

These links are from the first two hits Google gave. I didn't bother to
check the others, but they are here: http://tinyurl.com/3syzq

12a may not be a bad choice:

Went there and got :

Sorry, no matches were found for TMPGEnc-0.11.20.98-rel1.zip

Sorry, no matches were found for tmpg_en0918.exe

both files work.

IF they were available, perhaps.

Other download links:

http://www.pcphotovideo.com/Downloads/tmpg_en0725.zip

Download links for different files.

Or are you saying that the two files, with different filenames, are
the same files ?

When you search for tmpgenc you get the results.

I couldn't have tested them if they had been unavailable, could I?

Download links for different files.

Different files from what you have been looking for, so what? They can
still convert to MPEG-2 and they are still freeware.
And that's what matters.

Yeah, the last version of TMPGEnc with the free MPEG-2 encoder is quite
popular, and will likely circulate for a long time.

I googled on "tmpgenc 12a" and got LOTS of hits.
