TMPGEnc DVD Author / Studio 9 help

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to get my DVDs I make with my set-top DVD
recorder into my system so that Studio 9 Plus will work with them.
TMPGEnc DVD Author lookes very promising, but there's a problem; it
will import the DVD fine, and make a .MPG file that Studio will
import, detect chapters, and display, but it won't play them. I can
edit scenes out, I can move them, I can do just about everything but
play them and actually render them.
I'm using the trial version, if that makes a difference (I didn't see
anything that said it would).
I've been using a Dazzle DC150b, which is real-time, and I'm looking
for a way to cut the time down.Can anyone help?
Thanks!

That's it; click on the 'Play' arrow in the preview pane of Studio.

I'm trying to use Studio after TMPGEnc has made the MPG file.
Studio seems to import the MPG file, and detect the scenes, and the
scenes can be put in the timeline to be edited. I can cut scenes, move
them around, all the normal editing stuff, but I can't then render the
final clip, nor can I view it in the preview pane at any time.

WMP will play the MPG files just fine, but I kinda expected that.

Yes, I've done all the normal processes, and I've come to the
conclusion that not all MPEGs are created equally.
I also tried this in Adobe Premiere Elements, and had a problem with
the playback being both choppy, and skipping forward and back in the
clip (strange). Premiere Elements wouldn't even put the clip in the
timeline to edit.

Oh, well, not a great loss; I'm retired, so I'll just do it the long
way.
Thanks!
