SVCD Tools

I created this page as a place to share the various utilities
that I've written to help me in creating my own SVCDs.
At this stage I've only written a couple of programs, but
I expect I'll write more in the future, as the need arises.

Please note that I do not provide support for these
applications. Use at your own risk.


QTReader.vfp - This is a plugin QuickTime reader for
the TMPGEnc mpeg encoder. You just copy this file into
TMPGEnc's folder and you should then be able to read
any QuickTime movie.

MOV2AVI.exe - For those of you that use other encoders
or need to edit movies prior to encoding them, you can
use this program to convert your QuickTime MOV files
into AVIs. It's a command line program, but it should be
pretty easy to figure out.

* Note that you must have QuickTime 4 installed on your
   system for these utilities to work.



FIXMPG1.exe - This utility attempts to fix broken MPEG-1
movies that stop playing half way through, have annoying
pauses, or won't play at all. It essentially demuxes the
movie, extracting as much usable video and audio out of
the file as possible. Unfortunately, these two streams
won't necessarily be synchronized.

Orginally this program was intended for joining multipart
newsgroup downloads that had missing parts (even
missing the first part). It can be used on a group of files
of the form NAME.MPG.XXX (where XXX is the part
number), by specifying any one of the file names in the
group, or just the base filename (i.e. NAME.MPG).
