KVCD: New vs Old Template?

[bombero]

Kwag,
Last night I encoded Battlefield Earth (120min) from DVD Rip. I used your New Template (unchanged) and the file was 986 megs, I then used your previous template (unchanged) and the file was 712 megs. both look good but the file sizes are so far off. the new one sounds beeter and has a slight better visual quality, is there anything I can do to get a smaller file with the new one and still keep quality?

My goal is to get whole movie on one disc

Hola Bombero!

How did you process your .d2v? If you didn't use an AviSynth script with TemporalSmoother(2,2), that would account for the larger file size.

If you are going to process the .d2v file directly with TMPEG, i suggest turning on the noise filter with default parameters in TMPEG.

The macroblocks and small noise in a DVD may not be visible to the eye, but to the mpeg encoder, it is. If you don't use a small amount of temporal noise reduction, your file size will be much larger. I have seen from 300-500KB per minute on a mpeg encode without filtering.

I always use TemporalSmoother(2,2) in my AviSynth scripts.

Kwag,

Thanx for the reply. I use Smart Ripper, DVD2AVI, & Tmpgenc. I have never used AVIsynth and would not know where to begin with it, do you have a step by step method that you use to get the quality you like? You know a guide using your method and templates, from DVD to CDR? Any help would be apreciated.

Thanx..............Bombero

Hi Bombero:

Grab the program FitCD here: http://mitglied.lycos.de/fitcd/

Read the docs and play with it for a while.

This program will generate the AviSynth script automatically for you from the .d2v project.
