svcd on a dvd?

i have loads of svcd's that i want to put onto one disc, but cos there are so many, they go over the cd-r limit. is it possible to put a dvd that will play in svcd format?
if not is there an easy way to convert svcd to dvd format easily and without the quality of the video dropping considerably?
thanks

 

NO, it is not possible to play an SCVD in DVD format.

To go to DVD your SVCD's will need some conversions( Which are the best conversions are up to U )

Normally, it is possible to lose some video quality, which depends on the process you use( there are a ton )> really it depends on the quality of your SVCDS: garbage in = garbage out.

( also a multiple guide)

You really should also do a lot of Googling, there is a lot of learning when it comes to video.

You do need a DVD-Player and a DVD burner((I figured you knew that))

ok thanks a lot, will give some of this a go!

 

Wrong.
You can easily author your svcd's to dvdr, and even have a menu to choose which one to watch. No conversion necessary, except the audio, which must be transcoded to 48khz.
DVDLab will do this easily.
The disks will play properly in players that also support SVCD.

 

Yup, Reboot's sure right about that, sorry Yubious. I was a little afflicted by about 10 bottles of good ale when I replied to that.LOL

And, yes the sound must get to 48 KHz to be dvd compliant.

I like TMPGEnc plus as well to do this.

@ rebootjim

I have the CCE SP encoder, is it only good to convert .avi's?

also, I remember you replied to some thread with excellent info on bitrates, and dvd compliance, you still got that stuff?

CCE SP will encode anything you want, providing you use Avisynth or Virtualdubmod to frameserve it.

Basically, DVD bitrates (talking about burned, single layer 4.3 gig disks here) should be less than 9000kbps including audio.
So encode video at 8500kbps max, add audio at 224kbps, and you're within the limits.
Don't burn at more than 4x, at least until some more reliable disks and burners hit the market.
Is that what you needed to know?

 

You betchya, that is exactly what I needed to know, I think that is where I'm having a little troublation in DVD Lab Pro.

Damn that is a nice little app.

Thank-you very much!!
