    SVCD encoding

    Does anyone know a REALLY GOOD SVCD encoder. I tried TEMPenc, flaskmpeg, and ulead dvd factory and all loose some quality when using them to convert. Does anybody know a good quality SVCD encoder. I don't care if I have to buy it.

    They all lose some quality. Another good encoding program is CCE (which is not free).

      If you use TMPGEnc and set the resolution under BOTH "Video" and "Advanced" to the same resolution as the original file that you're inputting, you obtain an excellent quality image. Despite the fact that this appears to violate the "requirements" of proper SVCD, most newer standalone players (of course, they have to play SVCDs to start with) will play the resultant SVCD without any problems...

          I recomend you to use cce. It is faster and quality is also better than tmpgenc. Give it a try.

                Hey setarip

                Hey setarip

                So that means that I can made SVCDS with a higher resolution than 480x480 for my SVCDs (NTSC)?

                The newer standalone players can play at the same DVDs resolutions?

                By the way, is it posible to make a SVCD with AC3 tracks and to play it in standalone players?

                  Hi - I get great results using TMPGEnc to convert NTSC AVI's but not excellent. Could you please elaborate on your thought.

                  When I open 'settings' in v.12j in the "Video" my choices are limited to interlace or not and quality. I use CQ and high quality (slow not the slowest) In "Advanced" I don't see "resolution" anywhere.

                  TIA,

                  Ron

                    Under the "Video" tab, it's referred to as "Size"

                    Under the "Advanced" tab, it's referred to as "Video arrange method"

                      Thanks for your response, Setarip.

                      "Size" is greyed out for me at 480x480... Are you suggesting I can "size" to 720x480 and still have an SVCD that will play on my versatile "dual laser" standalone DVD?

                      Which "center" or "full screen" option would you suggest for "VIDEO ARRANGE METHOD"???

                      Please inform me how to 'set the resolution' the same as my input - (standard NTSC DV Video)?

                      TIA,

                      Ron

                        Click on the "Load" radio button and select "Unlock.mcf". The items will no longer be "grayed out"...



                        "Are you suggesting I can "size" to 720x480 and still have an SVCD that will play on my versatile "dual laser" standalone DVD?"

                        I was just watching "Pearl Harbor" at 720x480 on one of my standalones - a G.E. (Made In China)




                        "Which "center" or "full screen" option would you suggest for "VIDEO ARRANGE METHOD"???

                        Change "Video arrange method" to "Center (Custom Size"). This will allow you to enter whatever dimensions you please...

                          Although SVCD theoretically includes this capability, thusfar I've only been successful ingenerating such a file that plays wonderfully on the PC (And, yes, Dolby 5.1) - but plays in silence on all of my standalones...

                            Verrrrry Interesting stuff, Setarip. I can't wait to try it. I presume that you get a little over 20% LESS video on the disc at 720X480, right?

                            How many minutes of "Pearl Harbor" are on each disc, 30? Hope you have a DVD changer as I do...

                            Thanks for the info,

                            Ron
