    miniDVD from nero 6

    My jvc 302 dvd player would not recognise a nero miniDVD (cd burned like a short dvd), it reads as a silent cd. I copied a nero dvd diskimage VOB into a svcd compilation and it played in high resolution but at about 3 frames per second. Is there any way of getting better than svcd quality on cds or are dvdrs the only way? I suppose if it was easy everyone would be doing it already.

    As I've posted elsewhere, it appears that standalone players capable of playing mini-DVDs are few and far between.


    "Is there any way of getting better than svcd quality on cds or are dvdrs the only way?"

    You might want to try "CVD" (Chinese Video Disk) format - essentially SVCD at (NTSC) 352x480 or (PAL) 352x576. The output on your television is, in my opinion, near-DVD quality...

      Hey setarip what program do you use to make a CVD Encoding/burning

          Hi Setarip,
          Thanks for the CVD suggestion, I will try it out. I also tried copying a hires mpeg into a nero svcd compilation and at 704x576x25 set at 2700/2500/800 the svcd played well on the jvc player but the higher resolution was not that obvious.

            greetings setarip!

            is the bitrate limit of a CVD different from the svcd?

            I suppose so, otherwise I would use Svcd Pal resolution 480x576??!!

              Hi Setarip (again),
              I did a long search for cvd encoding but found nothing. Is it just a 704/2=352 vertical line mpeg2 file saved in a svcd compilation? If not could you please point me in the right direction.

              forgive if this is a double post, ie went funny.

                "is the bitrate limit of a CVD different from the svcd?"

                Nope - 2,520kbps max

                Apparently, the fact that the horizontal resolution is exactly 1/2 that of a DVD (and vertical is identical to DVD) results in higher quality image...



                "I suppose so, otherwise I would use Svcd Pal resolution 480x576??!!"

                By all means, feel free to experiment and compare the results...
