Ok, I just finished compiling a movie of my trip to Whistler earlier this year in Windows Movie Maker. However, it saves it in WMV format, and to burn it to a CD so I can watch it on a DVD player, it has to be in MPEG.

Where could I find a free program to do this for me?

I tried it but it never worked for me.. however I did hear a lot of praise for it so I guess I must be doing something wrong. I tried to convert a fansub file to mpeg and got a LOWER res. file that did not even play on my DVD player-- which plays VideoCD btw.

It's not free-- but you get a 30 free day trial.

Thanks, I'll check it out

I second that TMPGenc recommendation. I've been using it for the past year and a half, and it works great in combination with VCD Easy. If there's anyone else that uses it, what video size do you encode a file in so that you can see the subtitles? I've tried with a few Naruto episodes, but I still can't see them.

How did you convert the Naruto subs to Video CDs? I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong. I do get the new mpeg file-- with a bigger file size and LOWER quality-- yet it can't be played on my DVD player...

Once you have the mpeg files, I use VCDeasy to make a bin/cue file. The image is already encoded as video cd once its done, so all you have to do is burn it after that.

can you use TMPGEnc to change a wmv to an mpeg? I just tried, and it gave me an error.

TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 does it fine, that is what I use.

 

[Ecrofirt]

hmm, that's what I have.

Now that I looked at it, I think I have to re-install it. Bah. I usually use it for the MPEG tools, and it's giving me random errors for anything but that. Shit.

OK, now that you've got me looking at TMPGenc again, I've lost my damn serial number so I'm going to have to buy it again.

I've noticed a TMPGenc 3.0 Xpress that I'm interested in picking up: http://www.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/te3xp.html

Is it worth it?
