TMPGEnc: Want Template for Non-VCD MPEG1 for High Quality Display

[moviestar]

I am seeking a template for TMPGEnc that will generate MPEG1 output at 640x480 but be played back from a CD. This would be for business presentations so as long as the file will fit on a CD, file size is not a issue. It also needs to be a datarate that will be within the range of most common CD drives.

Is anyone aware of templates that meet these expectations?

Thanks

Hi moviestar,

Take the KVCDx3 MPEG-1 template, and change the resolution on the template to 640x480. Also change the default CQ, and set it to 100. Now you'll have excelent quality and still a reasonable file size for your encodes to be played back on PCs

Kwag,

Thanks so much for the quick response. I will give it a try.

Kwag,

You said to use the KVCDx3 MPEG-1 template. I found the following:
http://www.kvcd.net/KVCDx3-MPEG-1-NTSCFilm

Is this the one you are referring to? If not, can you please give me the correct URL? Also, this should be a frame rate of 29.97. Isn't NTSCFilm a different rate?

I have a presentation that I captureed from a Video8 tape at 720x480, NTSC, 29.97 frame rate. I have edited it in Premiere and I am ready to frameserve it out to TMPGEnc and then burn it to a CD for common PC user playback.

Just want to make sure I am being clear in my intent.

Thanks for your help.

Yes.

If you're going to encode at 29.97, just change that in the template too.

Kwag,

Thank you for fixing me up. I will try this out tonight.

Kwag,

I downloaded http://www.kvcd.net/KVCDx3-MPEG-1-NTSCFilm, but it is for video only. It says:

'Audio part will not be included in the file.'

I need this to have audio also. Do you have a template that does both video and audio for creating a MPEG1 at 640x480 with a data rate appropriate for playing back from CD drives on common PC's?

Thanks

Edit the template and select "System(Video+Audio)" and save it
