I was reading this topic:

http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3310

It gave me an idea but... how to predict cq for tmpegenc?

Let say I've 2 xmpeg1 vcd 320x240 with total size 1gb.
I would like to convert them to 1 kvcd 320x240.
How can I predict the cq?

If I do DirectShowSource() and I'm trying to use tok
it tells me I don't have vdub path with is true. There
is no problem to show tok the path to vdub-mp3 but
do I have to demux mpeg1, after that how to make
.avs script that will work in tok? Ufff it's pain in the ass.
I was thinking mpeg1 to kvcd mpeg1 is not that big deal...

If it was me I would join the 2 mpeg1 files with mpeg tools in tmpg, then open the 1gb file with dvd2avi and create a project file (.d2v).

You will be left with a small .d2v file and the mpeg audio.

Create an avs script pointing to the .d2v file and load that into Tok and select your mpeg audio file as external audio source.

this won´t work.
cannot open mpeg1 with dvd2avi
you will have to use mpegdecoder, i guess

Try using MPEGSource.

Add this to your script:
MPEGSource("file.mpg",#)

where # equals the total number of frames, open it in VDub to find out.

EDiT: Oops, Kane beat me to it!

so should i write the number of frames in the

MPEGSource - line in the script?

i sometime have the problem, that the d2v file does not contain the whole film, maybe i can solve this problem!

of course I was thinking of svcd

It doesn't work at all for me if I don't write the number of frames... ...you could try it, it'll probably fix your problem.

thx, i´ll give it a try

Has anyone figured out a good way to do this yet? So far the best way seems to be to load the mpeg1 clip into vdub and convert to huffy avi and start over

it´s strange, sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes not.

i got a mpeg1 file, opened it with mpegdecoder.dll, no problems and did the encoding

after that i wanted to open the encoded file with mpegdecoder.dll, because i wanted to sharpen it a bit. this time the created d2v file showed me a length of 45 min instead of 90min

hi rendalunit..


** MPEG-1 source -> vdub -> tmpg

* what's wrong w/ frameserving (above) your MPEG-1 clip into TMPG via
vdub ??

* Why create a huffy .avi file ??
