I've spent the past week investigating why I can't get dvdAuthor to burn a .mpg file captured using WinTVCap under the DVD quality setting. I noticed that sub originally was using WinTVCap to capture at one point (I believe he has written a custom capture utility now), so I thought someone in this forum might be able to help me.

Everytime I try to author a dvd directly from the .mpg captured by WinTVCap I get a Warn from dvdAuthor a few thousand times about it skipping the file and looking for the first VOBU before it just errors out. I understand that dvdAuthor is sensitive so I messed around with the capture setting on WinTVCap. Still didn't work. I guess I thought WinTVCap was recording to mpeg2 format and could be written directly as a dvd file. Is this true or do I have to remux the .mpg file to an mpeg2 file before I can author the DVD? Any other suggestions that experience might have shown you?

I appreciate any help you could give.

the my videos plugin can burn a gbpvr mpeg to dvd. I believe it remuxes the video.

dvdauthor is really touching about the videos it accepts, so in order to get dvdauthor to accept mpeg2 files recorded via a capture card the my videos plugin first demuxs and then remuxs the video file, which dvdauthor now accepts.

Thanks. It actually helps to know that someone else is demuxing/remuxing to get dvdAuthor to recognize it. Now I can concentrate on that area.

The key is the GOP. If you can get a closed GOP (at least the very first one), it will work. Most recordings are done with open GOP's (allows for easier editing).
Demux in PVAStrumento (retains audio sync nicely), then author.
Try to avoid remuxing if possible...the authoring app should do this for you.
