    Svcd- VCD cut short prob;ems

    If you continue to have difficulties with the "dirty" method of conversion, try the longer, "legitimate" method as follows:

    SVCD to VCD

    Run TMPGEnc as follows:

    File>>MPEGTools>>Simple DeMultiplex

    Load your SVCD file. Press the "Run" radio button to automatically save your video and audio streams as separate video (.M2V) and audio files (either .MP2 or .MPA).

    Close TMPGEnc (as a precautionary measure).

    Start TMPGEnc.

    On the main screen, press the "Settings" radio button (If it is 'greyed out", press the "Load" radio button and select "Unlock.mcf").

    Select the "System" tab and select "MPEG1-VideoCD"

    Select the "Advanced" tab. Set the resolution to "4:3 525 line (NTSC)" (or the PAL equivalent, if appropriate for your locale)

    Set "Video Arrange method" to "Center (Custom size)" and enter the resolution of the original MPEG2

    Select the "Video" tab. Set the "Size" to the same figures you entered under the "Advanced" tab.

    Set the "Aspect ratio" to "4:3 525 line (NTSC)" (or the PAL equivalent, if appropriate for your locale)

    Set the framerate to 23.976,24,25 (PAL), or 29.970 fps

    Click on OK to get back to the main screen

    Enter a new filename in the "Output" box

    Click on the "Start" radio button


    Since this will be the first attempt at this conversion, I STRONGLY suggest that after 3-5 minutes, you click on the "Stop" radio button and then answer "Yes" to "Abort now?". Minimize (DON'T exit) TMPGEnc. Doubleclick on the newly created short MPEG1-VCD version of your video. It should automatically start running under the Windows Media Player. If you notice a plethora of horizontal lines "jutting out" to the left and/or right (that weren't in your original video, do as follows:

    Maximize TMPGEnc, click on the "Settings" radio button, and select the "Advanced" tab.

    Put a checkmark in the box to the left of "Deinterlace"

    Doubleclick on the word "Deinterlace".

    Click on the down arrow to the right of the "Method" box and select the deinterlacing method you wish to apply (I prefer "Double (field adaptation)).

    Make certain that there is a checkmark in the box to the left of "Enable filter". Click on OK (This will return you to the "Advanced" tab). Click on OK (This will return you to the main screen).

    Click on the "Start" radio button and save the entire file. Likewise, if you didn't observe the horizontal lines in your 3-5 minute test, then simply click on the "Start" radio button and save the entire file.
