Xvid to VCD

[Grant]

A friend gave me some movie footage on CD encoded with Xvid.
How or what would i use to convert this to a VCD?
Please help

VCD requires MPG2/1 files.. I think. TMPG Enc will encode formats into these files. I found that some people had problems putting XivD onto VCD and that pictures appeared upside down and audio was out of sync etc... I think that using Nero to encode made these problems. TMPG Enc will encode Xvid to VCD with no problems -

Found this which may be useful to you -

To convert a Xvid AVI file using TMPGEnc go to OPTIONS ... ENVIRONMENTAL SETTINGS ... VFAPI plug-in ... change the DIRECTSHOW Multimedia File Reader priorty to 1. TMPGEnc will now convert the Xvid to VCD/SVCD with no problems. I don't extract the wav file if it has Unknown(Tag 2000) for audio. Remember to change the DIRECTSHOW back to -1 if you want to convert a DivX avi.

I have converted som Xvid stuff to VCD. It is similar to DivX. To start with I had enormous problems with audio sync. The picture was ok but the sync was out by a mile (just like in GUTS )

I solved this by using Goldwave audio editor. I loaded the Xvid into Goldwave which ignored the video bit but pulled in the sound. I used the resample feature to resample the sound to 44.1Khz. Most DivX and XVid seems to be 48Khz and TMPEGEnc was making a mess of the conversion.

Once I did this I converted to VCD using TMPEGEnc, using the video from the XVid file but specifying the audio as the WAV file I created in Goldwave. This then worked fine. The only XVid I couldn't convert properly was one that had a bit of corruption in the middle.

I also read some stuff as mentioned by MarkA87 but I cann't really remember if that helped or not. I think I tried it but still had probs with the audio.

Anyway, give it a go and see if it sorts you out. To a certain extent it depends on the collection of codecs and stuff you've got installed. In this respect everyone's PC is different!

or you could just let nero encode it for you, just choose to make a vcd from the wizard and drag the file in and click burn...Nero does all the work for you!
i WOULD DO IT JUST BEFORE YOU GO TO BED THOUGH AS IT TAKES FOREVER!!

I had trouble with Upside-down, backwards, video on Xvids, converting them to dvd's. I tried re-encoding them. But I found a simpler solution.

Download FFDSHOW. it will fix the problem. It did on mine. It should work for VCD as well...
