I have just bought a new Sony DV Camcorder and Pinnacle Studio DV, with all the other required peripherals such as a HDD and such like. the problem i am having is that when i finish editing and go for the creation of the VCD i am using the Pinnacle Studio 7 Software and Easy CD Creatoer 5.3 this combination gives a VCD that is a bit fuzzy and of course nothing like the same movie recorded back on the DV tape. using TMPGEnc etc are there any tips for getting the best quality MPEG and therefore VCD from the setup? any advice on the process would also be handy. i presume the fun really starts AFTER the editing process and afterr i have a saved AVI file? HELP!!!!! ps i am also looking at saving stills as an MPEG slide show, so again some advice would be really helpful
For TMPGEnc settings, check out our DVD to VCD guide. And to add "perfect" (well, as good as you can get for MP2, IMHO), look at the audio tweaks in our DVD to SVCD guide, those apply to VCD as well (but haven't got the time to update the VCD guide yet). http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/
