[VCDImager] Welcome

[Stefan Onken]

Hello vcdimager,

  I am new to this list, so first a Hello from my side.

  I started using vcdimager last week and still have some
  question. I am using right now the latest development (0.7.7)
  version.

  I am wondering if anybody may explain me different mpeg, avi &
  divx formats for using vcdimager. I got last week 2 iso's for
  video cd's. I extracted the .dat file out of it (on a windows
  system with a program called ISO-Buster) and renamed the .dat
  file to .mpeg. On the computer at work (windows) I were able to
  watch it. At home I used vcdimager to make 2 new video cd's out
  of it and I were able to watch it on my Samsung Stand-Alone-DVD
  Player.

  But, when I am trying to work with other avi files, I am getting
  an error messages like this:

address@hidden:~/001 > ls -als
272776 -rwxr-xr-x    1 stonki   users    279042240 Jul 29 15:00 test.avi

address@hidden:~/001 > vcdimager test.avi
   INFO: scanning mpeg sequence item #0 for scanpoints...

finished ok, image created with 525 sectors [00:07.00] (1234800 bytes)


1) How can I get informations about the different formats. Is they a
tool similar to mp3info which shows me the informations ?

2) How can I convert the files to a format which is ok for
vcdimager ?

3) How can I split the mpeg files to a size which fit a normal CD
?

Thanks a lot in Advance,

Stonki
