Not exactly. Just that some dvd players have trouble playing a movie (vcd/svcd) that was burned at higher speeds. Recommended - 4x Safe - 8x I dont go any higher then 8x even though i have a 32x burner!
Oh well my dvd player doesnt seem to be having any problems playing my movies. I have a 48x burner and ive been burning at that speed. Do you suggest slowing it down a bit even though I dont have any problems? would it make the picture clearer?
If you use burner & media that is rated at burning at that speed, it's probably safe to do so. If you read some old threads in the audio forum, there are some interesting discussions on burn speed and audio CDs. Some say it's OK, some say not. It's rather a deep topic. jnihil.
I couldn't have made a better reply post bro' ----------------------------------------------- A) No, what determines the best video playback is the encoder, then the settings(program) you choose m8. Last, the burning speed. These are the [bold] most [/bold] recommended programs and encoders for encoding types of formats. SVCD(MPEG2): DVD2SVCD using CCE (Cinema Craft Encoder). TMPEnc and Canopus ProCoder produce amazing video playback but [bold] LONGER [/bold] encode time. VCD(MPEG1)< I don't even mess around with this one simply because the video playback really sucks (honest). I know TMPEnc seems to be the best for this format and you can use a program called Eazy VCD for this one. DivX(MPEG4): Vidomi or Gordian Knot. Best encoder? You have to test the latest version (DivX 5.05) and see if you encounter audio sync problems. If you do then try DivX 4x or DivX 3.11alpha. Shoey
Well, ill just give my opinion, if you mean burning SVCD's, use VCDEasy! If you mean encoding, there is not a lot of free progs to encode SVCD, TMPGEnc will do it for 30 days!
DVD2SVCD hands down m8. Fastest encoder for SVCD (MPEG2) is CCE (Cinema Craft Encoder). Canopus ProCoder& TMPEnc Plus also provide great video playback, but slower encoding time than CCE. Shoey
