Can anybody help me convert my divx into a SVCD. I was able to turn the divx into a VCD, but a friend told me that SVCD looked way better. Is that true. Please Help
SVCD really does look much better, but in other hand, it takes more space -- one regular 100min movie requires appx. 3 CDs. You just use TMPGEnc's SVCD templates, tweak with deinterlacing if required and encode the video -- sure, quality drops as it always does if you encode once encoded video into another format. Then use Nero to burn the CD.
thanks, I was able to burn the SVCD and it does look way better. Is there a faster way to convert it though? It took me like 6 hours.
Anything faster than that compromises the quality, so I recommend to stick with TMPGEnc with High quality motion search -- the time of the day when you sleep is meant for processes like this
Ive been using CBR (constant Bitrate) set to 2520 kbit per second and it looks pretty good. Is the constant quality mode better? What are the settings that you use?
I use CBR and use bitrate calculators to get me the exact length for 3 or 4 CD encoding to get the best quality/space ratio.
I tried TMPGEnc but wasn't able to get audio into the MPG files. You wouldn't happen to know a solution ?
Well, not quite as I don't have AC3 audio on these DIVX movies I'm trying to convert and TMPGEnc isn't giving me any error messages. The second point is that I'd like to have the audio in the same mpg-file so that I could use my computer with Hollywood+ to play it for TV from network drive (I don't want to burn them to CD).
