Mpeg Video Wizard Dvd 5.0.1.112 Key
Tamsyn
If you've been editing HD mpeg video, you really didn't need this guide. Export the streams just like you would with standard definition.
So here's the real trick. For everything else, save your project file and remember the name and close Mpeg Video Wizard.
Most programs you'll go to to encode the video will want YV12 color. If for some reason you're going mpeg2, CCE for the longest time required YUY2, color I don't know if that's still the case from SP3 and newer.
If you are going to convert this to standard definition after all this, you'll also want to add: ColorMatrix(mode="Rec.709->Rec.601").
I have found that the vfapipugin will assume a single resolution for the source. It probably chooses what the first clip is. In my tests I used 1080p with a bit of DVD video mixed in. The DVD content was automatically upscaled to match.
If you are going to resize your video, the endlessly useful Aspect Ratio Calculator Tool from Citizen is your next stop:
I do recommend using Spline36Resize() over Lanczos4 for it's neutral sharp resizing.
MeGUI is probably your best answer for an x264 encoder. It has BD5/9 (listed as AVCHD), Blu-Ray and numerous other presets. You can plug your script right in, use a default (or make some tweaks) and encode.
Appendix 1. DTS Audio source
If you're starting with DTS and you are doing anything to change the number of frames in the video source, you have to re-encode.
You can convert to a good bitrate AC3 before starting or you can go to a lossless format if you want to re-encode back to DTS or a Dolby Plus format later.

This is just a first draft, but I was impressed that Womble MVW-DVD could be used for more modern editing purposes. I welcome suggestions for changes and corrections.
The games that supported this board had a separate version released called the "MPEG version" rather than the same piece of software supporting both the hardware acceleration and the non-hardware accelerated version. the Realmagic versions look for the hardware and try to make some calls to it to render the movies.
1) Conspiracy by Cryo (AKA KGB). In the non-MPEG CD version, Donald Sutherland's character speaks to you in the worst example of full-screen FMV I've ever seen - terrible resolution. I haven't been able to get the MPEG version to play, but it has standard MPEG videos that look much better.
2) Return to Zork - there is FMV in this game in a few places, including the tele-orb with the wizard inside. In the non-MPEG CD version, you get video for the first few times the wizard speaks to you, and then he turns into a still image. With the MPEG version, I believe all of the wizard's dialog is video.
I'm keenly interested to see what the differences are between the two versions. May I ask where you got it? because I'd love a copy for myself.
I always noticed the videos were heavily compressed and I wonder if they are much better looking in this version.
No.
If you haven't noticed, I'm not giving anyone any referral links so I do not stand to benefit from anyone else that joins.
Dropbox is far superior to any other 'free' file sharing service such as rapidshare or megaupload (apart from renting one's own server space).
I am not affiliated with Dropbox, I just find it incredibly useful.
It is your prerogative to deny yourself such a useful tool but you should not enforce that onto others.
DonutKing, it still smells weird, okay mate ? I do not recommend other upload sites like that. But if I should recommend one, then it should be multi upload, but I am not in that kind of business. Second of all, why I am using both megaupload, and multi upload. Is because the shit works, without a problem. And second of all I first learned about multi upload, after I knew about Megaupload. So stop the bollocks, and no worries mate.
I am eager to give it a try with some games. What do I need?
1) Will my model work with the games?
2) What kind of operating system and drivers do I need? I guess Win98 could be fine.
3) Passthought cable? Do I need it? Had anyone seen those? Or even pinouts?
4) Games? Obviously these are hard to find, but I guess eBay is the place. Games supporting the card(s) came bundled with the hardware, right? Is the any more information about those: pictures, YouTube -videos? No demo version of the games, I assume?
There were some stand alone games sold. I use to have a ReelMagic board myself and currently have The Horde, and Psychotron for it. The Horde was a decent game, really your not going to see anything that looks impressive with this board now a days, no one used it for anything other than decoding cut scenes. Since your used to seeing full screen high res fast framerate video I doubt it will impress.
I've since picked up some more of these but have not dumped any of them. I'm still interested in this topic but unfortunately, nobody with skills ever expressed interest in trying to get these games running without the special hardware.
I have a Realmagic Lite card (no inbuilt soundcard). It's a bit of an arse to use because it's ISA, needs a feature connector, there's a very limited selection of games it works with and the drivers are basic too.
For now, only five ReelMagic/REALmagic games are confirmed and available: 'Dragon's Lair', 'Space Ace', 'Return to Zork', 'The Horde' and 'The Psychotron'. I have two versions of the latter one, the later boxed and the earlier jewel-cased edition, but the differences are not significant (mostly typoes fixed).
Unfortunately, there are only two versions of that patch available - for the diskette version and for the (regular) CD version. The RM-version was available on Sigma Design's FTP site - does anybody still have it per any chance?
TMPGEnc DVD Author 2.0 brings advanced features and flexibility to DVD creation. Emphasizing ease-of-use that makes it work for casual and professional users alike. It is the first DVD creation program in its class to offer Fit-to-Disc Transcoding and DVDR Dual Layer support, DVD Author 2.0 makes it easy to fit content on one disc while maintaining video quality. DVD Author 2.0 is also the first to offer multichannel audio for multi-lingual DVDs, and audio filters so that users can ensure optimal audio quality before burning to DVD.
With TMPGEnc DVD Author 2.0 you can change (author) your MPEG-1 / MPEG-2 files to DVD-Video structured files. Using high quality MPEG files made with TMPGEnc products, or with your MPEG capture device, it is possible to perform your own DVD authoring quick and easy.
TMPGEnc DVD Author 2.0 is an enhanced, yet still easy-to-use, software package for the creation of DVD-video discs on personal computers. It enables you to do everything from editing of video files (MPEG files), creating slideshows from still images, designing professional-looking DVD menus, to storing the final results on writable DVD discs.
In terms of reliability and quality, TMPGEnc DVD Author 2.0 provides uncompromised high performance DVD authoring features. Its intuitive interface and video editing engine is a result of our extensive experience in the research and development of MPEG encoders and DVD authoring software.
The product is suitable for beginners and advanced users who are looking for more enhanced product features, as well as anyone in between who are interested in creating their own DVD-Videos.
DVD Author 2.0 features a completely redesigned DVD menu wizard which takes DVD menu creation to a completely new level. Even though a wide range of new customizable features have been added, the DVD menu creation process has become more dynamic and simpler than before. DVD Author 2.0 also features a large number of brand new pre-designed templates, and in the near future we will provide a download service at our website which allows you to download new template designs.
DVD Author 2.0 supports frame level MPEG editing features. Frame level editing is the most precise method for MPEG editing because it operates with frame level precision. Until now, frame level editing has required complete re-encoding of output video which has resulted in degradation of output video quality as well as a slow DVD building process. DVD Author 2.0 provides a smart rendering feature that eliminates this problem. It automatically analyzes video clips and makes sure that only the smallest possible number of frames is re-encoded. In other words, the smart rendering feature dramatically improves the DVD building process in terms of speed while preserving the highest possible video output quality.
You may often experience that DVD-Video projects become too large to fit onto writable DVD discs when you add more and more content to them. DVD Author 2.0 contains a transcoding engine from Intercom that helps you solve this problem. Rather than completely re-encoding video contents, the transcoding engine dynamically and rapidly recompresses video data streams with a minimal reduction in quality so that they will fit exactly to the size of the writable DVD media (4.5GB/8.5GB).
