Anyone know of any software program other than TMPGEnc to convert a .asf file to a .mpg file to burn onto a CD-R to use in my DVD player? TMPGEnc keeps freezing up when I try to convert a .asf file,maybe someone else has encountered this and knows of a solution?? Thanks

I just started usin' TMPGEnc and it keeps freezing and AVI2VCD freezes also. Both programZ are slow. Does anyone know a fast encoder and is LSX free??

I found the solution to the problem...you need to convert the audio into a .wav file,then convert the video/audio into a .mpg file.It sounds like too much work for me...gonna just stick with either .avi or.dat,much easier
Thanks for the help gang

Its actualy not that much work. To convert the audio to .wav is easy with virtualdub. Look here hxxp://www.vcdhelper.com/virtualdubaudio.htm

That's what I was referring to(virtualdub)....avi & .dat are easier to convert(less steps).

It seems that everyone that you download a video from has it stored in a different format. Frame rate is wrong, frame size is not in multiples of 8, audio is encoded wrong, odd codec.

My solution is simple. Find someone that has the video as MPEG, pray that it is MPEG2, and write it to a VCD using NERO.
