I've got a nice KVCD now
I'll give a short explanation of how I did it (was a couple of days ago):
- Opened xvid_part1.avi in VirtualDubMOD and then appended xvid_part2.avi to it.
- In VirtualDubMOD I demuxed the audiostream in .AC3.
- Used BeSweet to encode the .AC3 directly to .MP2 (2 channels, 112kbps, 44khz)
- Made a small modification in my AVS script and changed the first line to:
Code:
Avisource("xvid_part1.avi")++Avisource("xvid_part2.avi")
- Loaded the KVCD template, unlock template and my AVS script in TMPGEnc.
- Changed stream type to ES (Video only).
- Changed bitrate and aspect ratio.
- Saved the project and used CQMatic to predict the proper CQ for 1CD.
- Used bbMPEG to mux video+audio.
- Final .MPG file was 837MB so I had to overburn
(as usual.. I always set audio to 128kbps in CalcuMatic even though I use 112kbps audio and it still isn't accurate enough. But it's better than nothing and I'm only doing 1x prediction).
- Burn failed at ~820MB but luckily the end credits are about 4 minutes long, so the entire movie was still on the disc.
- Disc played fine and quality was nice. The transition from part1 to part2 wasn't even noticable!
By the way: after my first try and burn, after being half way through the movie I suddenly noticed the subtitles were starting over again. I fucked up in Subtitle Workshop (joined the subtitles for part1 with each other, instead of part1 and part2 with each other). So I had to re-encode the entire movie again. Mistakes are part of life
