Help! MPEG2VCR not working with SageRecorder captures

[fathero]

Hi all,

I posted in General Discussion about this, but now I have more details.

If I load a SVCD file that I downloaded off the web into MPEG2VCR, and then save it (no edits at all), it saves a new slightly bigger file which plays fine.

If I capture (Adaptec Videoh! PCI AVC-2010) with SageRecorder to SVCD format, and do the same experiment (load, no edits, then save), the new file is SMALLER (by about 5%) and the playback is all jumpy (mostly during camera shot transitions).

What am I doing wrong? What is different about the SageRecorder capture MPEG streams?

Oh, if I take the SageRecorder MPEG stream, run it through TMPGEnc (basically re-encoding it to the same format it's already in), and run the test again, the file plays fine.

Help! I really want to use MPEG2VCR to edit out commercials, but I really don't want to start capturing until I figure this out!

Thanks,

Chris

You mean Womble MPEG-VCR V3.14 (MPEG-2)? I'm having no problems with it, but admit to not trying svcd format files. Works great for me in all DVD formats, including 352x480 and 352x240 VBR, so don't see why it wouldnt work with 480x480...

perhaps your computer's codecs are messed-up, ive had similar problems related to them. Had to reinstall windows to fix them. Seems like windows will use the most recently installed codec...
