    Problems from AVI to SVCD

    Hi all, I'm fairly new to video burning and I found this site where I HOPE I can get answers to a couple of questions.

    I'm trying to create cd's in SVCD format. The process I am doing is as follows.

    I create a powerpoint presentation, then I use Camtasia Studio 2 to create an AVI file. At this point I have a file that is clear and seems of good quality. I have experimented with different ways that I can convert this to a SVCD mpeg in order to use it on a portable DVD player ( I want to show the file to clients). Now, next I used Ulead VideoStudio to convert it to SVCD format, and burn to disc. No matter what I tried, I can never get a WYSIWYG. (what you see is what you get). If I did it that way the video was of poor quality and is always way too bright and cannot be viewed on the portable DVD player. The mpegs that I create with my digital camera have the same problem. Too bright.

    Now I have been using TMPGEnc to create the SVCD and then burn it onto a disc using Ulead VideoStudio. I realize that there are controls in TMPGEnc to reduce the brightness etc, BUT I was wondering if there was ANY way to get WYSIWYG. I am just guessing at settings-my last attempt was -50 brightness and 50 contrast. It looks very dark on my computer screen, but when it burns to disc and then plays on a DVD player it looks vastly different.

    Any suggestions?

    Use TMPGEnc again - but DON'T alter the brightness or contrast. The only thing that counts is playback on your standalone DVD player...

      Thank you for your response.

      Yes, I have tried it without altering the brightness controls.

      It is too bright that way. I cannot turn the brightness level down enough on the standalone to componsate for the amount of brightness generated when I burn the disc.

      I have also tried the burned SVCD disc on my home DVD player. Again, too bright.
