Hello

I think what you have to do is go into the <CDROM>:\MPEG2 folder and find the "AVSEQ<number>.bin" file, rename the number only (starting from 01, then 02, 03, etc.) and then copy it to another CD's <CDROM>:\MPEG2 folder.

I don't exactly remember if there are any VCD headers that the system needs to deal with to recognize the new files, but as far as I know, this SHOULD work.

Hope this helps!

yup... but it'll be like a SVCD with 3 tracks on it, instead of having 1 full video.

you can also always try it out by making a CD image, emulating an image-based cd drive using something like Daemon Tools, and see if it'll play natively on PowerDVD... that way you won't waste a DVD if it should fail

good luck!

its a lot more complicated than that....

you need to covert the SVCD mpg to DVD compatible mpeg2 then use an authoring program to burn your DVD...

Ok this has confussed the hell out of me!!!!! I have got 3 mpg2 files and i want then on a DVD. From what i read they need to be encoded???? It doesnt let me burn them to a dvd as yet so i need to do something! Sorry if it sounds a bit stupid. I cant burn teh mpg2 files, i get an error sow hat has to be done! on doom9 there is something but it is very patchy and i am not sure if it is the right thing!
