Dvd 2 Vcd-the Guide

DVD to VCD-The Complete Guide

When I first got my DVD Burner I realised it was going to cost me a fortune in DVD-R’s so I thought I would see if it was possible to convert them to mpeg so I could then burn them to VCD. And with some help from the
K-Lite Board I can now do that.

So I thought I would make this guide to help everybody else who wants to convert.

Aldso check out these guides:

Easy VCD (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=110006&hl=)
KVCD Guide-Manual (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=108782&hl=)

I’ve made this as simple as possible so here it goes.

Hope this helps some people.

Some people have told me its easier to use DVD2SVCD but people have said that its to hard, wont work or poor quality.

If any of the pictures aren't clear just click on them.

You will need:

DVD-Rom
CD Writer
DVD Decrypter
DVD 2 AVI
Tmpgenc
VCD Burning Software (like Nero)

You can download the ones in blue from www.dvdrhelp.com/tools (http://www.dvdrhelp.com/tools) Pm me for a Tmpgenc Seriel

You can download Nero from Nero Home (http://www.nero.com) Pm me for a seriel

Step One:

Get all of the above

Step 2:

Insert the DVD you wish to convert into your drive and load up DVD Decrypter which should look like this:

Step 4:

Once DVD Decrypter has finished you need to open up DVD 2 AVI which should look like this:

Step 7:

Now we need to open the video files we just created using DVD Decrypter, once selecting the first file the other movie files should open automatically.

Success your mpeg is now made and ready to burn, however there may be one final step:

[BC-UK Will Live]

If the film you have made is over 74 or 80 minutes (depending on the maximum amount of time on your cd-r) you will need to split into 2 (or more) files.

To do this start up Tmpgenc and close the wizard if it appears.

Now select in File mpeg tools:
