burned video footage upside down ?
 

i burned an .avi file using nero, i let nero convert it to svcd, but the image was upside down when played, how do i fix this problem. ?

It would appear to be quite a common problem with Nero

If you are going to do a lot of this sort of conversion I recommend that you check out TMPEGEnc

http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html

This will provide you with a lot more control over the output file.

turn the tv upside down , sorry mate , i couldnt resist :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: , i have heard of this before , let me have a dig about :)


the closest i can get to this is it is a codec issue :(

Dr.Wadd just beat me to it.
TMPGEnc is better for conversion (once you have figured out its many features & settings etc).

Doesn't this problem with nero mirror the image too though? Imagine how foolish you'd look watching a video on your upside down monitor/tv in the mirror. :D :D

Just to add to that, it is worth getting to grips with the various settings as you may find that depending on the playback hardware you are using you may be able to push the boundaries a bit. The maximum bitrate for VCD and SVCD is the standard, but you will find that there are many players that will support higher bitrates if you throw it at them, XVCD and XSVCD. If you can fit it on the disc you may find you can get better picture quality than the "standards" permit.

The problem is in the avi codec feeding a wrong image to nero. Updating the avi codec being used will help but, as others have already said, the best bet is to do the conversion in Tempgenc first then burn the mpg file with nero for best results.

Turn the DVD upside down if this fails! :rofl:

thanks to dr wadd for the links, im going to try ulead moviefactory first, as creating a vcd or svcd seems to push the output image larger then 80 mins.

if that fails, i will try and reinstall or upgrade the codecs i have.

thank you to those that have helped so far.

OK I can see the problem here Kronas.

VCD is format linked to time so if the run time of the video is over about 75 mins it will not fit a 700MB CD in vcd or 45 mins in svcd.

Most full length movies need to be split so that each section is no longer than this. You can do that by splitting the avi first in something like Vdub or using the source range options in Tempgenc once the AVI is loaded in that.

EDIT: That said don't forget that an MPG over 700MB will fit on a 80min CD providing the run time matches so the mpg can actually be over 780mb and still fit if burned in vcd or svcd format.

thanks for the useless post sociable ;)

on a serious note, using ulead moviefactory actually worked very nicely, svcd with space left as well, and it solved the annoying sound lag problem i had with a few others. :D

thanks to dr wadd for his link that prompted me to try the program, i had it installed i just never thought about it. :)

:nono:

Please do not react like this to people only trying to help kronas.

You may well have found an alternate solution but my post could help others who are having a problem encoding avi's to mpg where the run time exceeds the limit for either vcd or svcd.

lol read your pm i sent :rolleyes:

LOL Read my reply.

The point I am making is that adding a smiley to a badly or inappropriately worded line doesn't stop it being rude or insulting too many people make that mistake on boards like this.

Re: burned video footage upside down ?

i never meant to cause offence, i have had a laugh with many people on the forum and used that smiley.

no ones took it the wrong way before :shrug:
