Which video and MPEG formats does nanocosmos support?
|
||||||||||||||||
|
With nanocosmos MPEG Tools you may create several types of MPEG1 and MPEG2 formats, for example VCD, SVCD, MPEG1, MPEG-2 DVD, MPEG2-MP@ML, HDTV, Transport Streams

How do I play back my MPEG files with an external DVD / Video CD player?
| ||||||||||||||||
|
Video CD files created with nanocosmos encoder applications can be burned to a CD-R with a CD burning application in VideoCD-mode, e.g. WinOnCD, Nero, VOB. The created VideoCD may be played back in "most" current DVD players.
SuperVideoCD is also supported by most CD burning applications, the MPEG
Streams in SVCD mode can be imported there. |

|
What is the difference between m1v, m2v, mpa, mpg, vob?
| ||||||||||||||||
|
These file extensions are not standardized, but commonly used.
m1v means "MPEG-1 Video", i.e. a file which only contains a
so called elementary video stream, without any audio. |

|
How is file size / compression influenced?
| ||||||||||||||||
|
The main compression setting is the "bit rate" which means how many bits per second a stream is running. You can adjust the bit rate in the encoder settings. |

nanoDVR: Why does the recording stop after some seconds?
| ||||||||||||||||
|
nanoDVR does not limit recording time in the demo version. nanoDVR needs cpu power and memory. To encode in realtime, it allocates some frame buffers in memory. If the encoding speed is too slow the buffers fill too fast. If the buffers are full, recording is interrupted. You may adjust the following settings to increase encoding speed:

nanoDVR: Which capture cards are supported ?
| ||||||||||||||||
|
nanoDVR currently uses any VideoForWindows compatible capture driver. Note that some USB devices only allow WDM capture. Optimal results are when the driver supports Overlay Mode, and the color format is set to YUV, for example YUY2. Do not use RGB! nanoDVR currently does not support precompressed formats such as MJPEG and DV. |

nanoDVR: Why do I get no sound? |
||||||||||||||||
|
Audio should work without any problems. If there is no sound, the problem is related to your hardware settings. - Check the audio mixer settings - For Hauppauge WinTV, there is a WinTV bug, you may try: www.hauppauge.de/files/audiosel.exe |

Why does encoding not work at all (Why get I a (black/green/scrambled)
picture?)
| ||||||||||||||||
|
Probably the input signal is incompatible because it is precompressed with an unsupported codec. In MPEG SoftEngine, try changing the options "Use DirectShow" or "Use internal codecs" in Tools/Options. |

|
What is the difference between those MPEG-Formats like DVD, SVCD, VCD?
| ||||||||||||||||
|
VCD is MPEG-1 based, DVD and SVCD are MPEG-2 based.
