which kvcd template for svcd from avi files?
 

I'm quite new to this temples, so what tample should I use if I wanna do a svcd from an avi. file? I want the absolut best quality.

Re: simple question
 

If you want absolutely the best quality, and your source is ALSO very good quality, why not try KVCDx3 :wink:
Check here for DivX to KVCD: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2331

how good quality should my source be?

Well, the best results will be from DVD. If you're encoding a DivX, and the quality is very good viewed on your PC, then the result will also be very good when encoding to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. But you know the saying: Trash in, trash out :D

can I do Xvid to KVCD?

Sure! It's the same as DivX to KVCD.

I'm not so familiar to avs. scrips so is their some guide who can tell me what an avs. script is and how to use them :oops:

I'm such a noob :oops:

Hi Wolfi,

Thanks kwag, I hope it will help me on the way :D

My last question..I think :D

I'm new to FitCD v1.0.5 and I'm wondering if their is some sort of guide or something :?: Or just anything who can help me on the way to make my first kvcd...

Hi Wolfi,

You really don't need FitCD anymore :) .
You can use a script like this for all your movies:

The only thing you need to change is the Mpeg2Source("My_Movie.d2v") to point to your .d2v file and the GripCrop( width=352, height=240, overscan=1 ) to the target you want. This one is set to 352x240, so it will work with KVCD LBR, KVCD ULBR and KVCD 352x240 PLUS templates. If you want to use it with KVCDx3, you would change to GripCrop( width=528, height=480, overscan=1 )
You get the idea :wink:
Make sure you set TMPEG's input aspect to "Center".
There's a link on the main page at www.kvcd.net that points to a download section in the forum with links to all filters.

for me ,this is a complete tutorial! :wink:

Hi kwag!

Why set to "center", if you are aready adding the borders with "gripborders()" :?:
Before "gripborders()" you have the 4:3 fullscreen, so why not set TMPG to "fullscreen" :?:

I left it at "Center", because that was the original setting, before SansGip added the GripSize and GripBorders. It really makes no difference from 'Full screen" or "Center". Both make the same output aspect.

Thanks kwag :) I think I get this now...

I've downloaded the filters now: LegalClip, GripCrop, GripSize, SpaceDust, TemporalCleaner and GripBorders.

This part of the script, should I do anything here?

((Total frames/MovieTimeInMinutes)/24)

Should I write total frames of my movie and the movie time?

I gonna try KVCD*3 so I suppose it's only to change
Mpeg2Source("My_Movie.d2v") to Mpeg2Source("Spiderman.d2v")

GripCrop( width=352, height=240, overscan=1 ) to
GripCrop( width=528, height=480, overscan=1 )

I more thing ...Should I save this script with FitCD? cause I cant find some other program who can save as avs. :?

This replay is quite late, haven't checked this forum cause I've been playing tabletennis in Norwiegen :D

P.S. In what directory should I put the dowloaded filters in?

//Wolfi

avs is just a text file...
use notepad or anything else that can make a text file...

so if your script is something like

Typical Script:

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\legalclip.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\dustv5.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\temporalcleanerold.dll")
Mpeg2Source("InputFile.d2v")
LegalClip()
GripCrop( width=528, height=480, overscan=2 )
GripSize()
SpaceDust()
TemporalCleaner()
GripBorders()
LegalClip()


save it as movie.avs or if you have to save it as a text file... save it as movie.txt then rename it to movie.avs

oh so it's just to rename :P

Bay the way should'nt it be Mpeg2Source("Spiderman.avi") instead of .d2v :?:

Try:
AviSource("Spiderman.avi")

oke, like this then:

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\legalclip.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\dustv5.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\temporalcleanerold.dll")

AviSource("Spiderman.avi")

LegalClip()
GripCrop( width=528, height=480, overscan=1 )
GripSize()
SpaceDust()
TemporalCleaner()
GripBorders()
LegalClip()
#Sampler(length=24)
## MPEG size = ((Total frames/MovieTimeInMinutes)/24) * MPEG sample file size ##

am I right now?

And what's an d2v. file ? :oops:
