1st off thanks for being here. I've read back to the November posts, and really love the speed of response and participation this forum gets.
I've been on a high speed learning curve for the last 2 months. Heres some of my questions:
1.TMPGenc allows Aspect Ratios of 1:1 VGA, etc... If my content is a DivX file do I need/gain anything by calculating the source aspect? let me ask that better. Should I use 1:1 as the source Aspect Ratio for all Divx files?
2. Arent all divx files (DVDrips from Kazaa) non-interlaced?
3. I get it that Tmpgenc doesnt do 48k audio... but it does do AC3, why? its reencoding right? (I'm set for external TooLame).
4. Stripping the Audio with VirtDub works excellent and is quite fast. Takes about 2 mins for it and it converts down to 41000 at the same time and I dont get audio sync problems. Why does my Cooledit take 38 mins to convert from 48k-41k when I use graphedit to stip the audio to PCM? (this is of course for enlightment as the VDub step works perfectly well).
5. I'm using a JVC XV400 and get jumpy video playback - ie; start and stops when I create SVCD. The VCD plays fine. I run 2-pass VBR and push the bitrate to 2100 or so. Even CBR gets jumpy as well. The Divx files I use normal show a 23.976 Frame rate, so I choose NTSC file during the Tmpgenc wizard. Is this a Framerate problem?
6. I've created 10 test MPG's (SVCD 2 min clips) and ran tests on the player, including encoding with the Pal Wizard. I use Nero 5.5 to burn the Cue file (I run VCDEasy to create the cue's). Is Nero converting my Pal format to NTSC? It seems to playback on just like the NTSC yet the JVC doc's specificallly state 'no support of PAL'.
7. A PhotoVCD I made shows perfectly on my PC. during the picture scans of Slides I purposefully left the slide edges. They are visible when played back on the PC. However when played on the TV the edges are off screen. I use a 38" Sony Trinitron that I always thought of as exceptional. Is this some adjustment on my TV thats out maybe? or is it DVD player related? How can I tell?
Looking forward to all comments/slams/prods and pokes.
