here is what I have done

[JSVICTORIA]

I am making SVCD discs.
I used
1CladDVD 2.0 and ripped the .vod files.
2. I used Flask to change the flies into .avi 720X576
3. Opened Tmpge and changed the files to .mpeg2 at 480x576
4. now I had to cut and Join them into two files to fit them on to two SVCD's and I did that and watched them on my PC.

Before I burn them I have a few questions.

1. the quality is not the same as the .vod files is that usual and how can I correct this and are there any steps that I have forgotten along the way

2. I have Gnot and I was wondering if I can take the .vod fiels on my harddrive and create that SVCD through that process.

3. I ceated an animated movie and is that the reason that the quality is not the same as the .vod original.

4. Will the movie's be smaller on the TV due to the change from 720X576 to 480X576

5. Do I have to do anyting further before I burn the new movie onto a CD-R and why is the audio softer in the new mpeg2 files

There I think I have covered all my basis and I am sorry if these and other questions have been covere before but I wantned to be clear on my questions and any and all e-mail will be of great help.

Thanks

Sam

"3. Opened Tmpge and changed the files to .mpeg2 at 480x576"

A) You should have converted them to "MPEG2-SuperVideoCD"

B) The maximum resolution for a compliant SVCD is 480x480 (although your standalone player may play higher rsolution SVCDs anyway)



"why is the audio softer in the new mpeg2 files"

Because it's no longer a surroundsound audiostream...

Thanks setarip. It only took me 10days to figure it all out and I got it acomplished. Thanks for your post to my questionIt only took about 20 billion of these to get it done.
