KVCD: Video Skips Every 3 Seconds?

[mrj03]

The KVCD-352x480-PLUS sample works on my RCA-5240P fine and gives me a FULL SCREEN but when I use the KVCD-CQ-352x480-_NTSCFilm template to create my own sample it works BUT the movie only uses approx. the middle 1/3 of the TV screen AND the video SKIPS every 3 seconds.

THANKS

Hi mrj03,

Try encoding 352x480 as MPEG-2, and mux as usual (VCD).

if the sample works and your sample don't,
maybe is something wrong in your script.
post it please!

When you say " and mux as usual (VCD) " are you referring to:
SYSTEM tab: Stream type: MPEG-1 Video-CD (non-standard)

Yes, but that is if you use TMPEG. I never encode audio or mux with TMPEG. I use BBMpeg as muxer.

If you are looking for PURE quality then using HeadAC3he and BBMpeg is the way to go.

However, I do try to balance speed and efficiency because I like to batch up several project and run them... hoping for a final MPEG1 file at the end.

I use TMPGEnc to encode audio and for Mux/Demux. I have not had any problems.

Use the Non-Standard MPEG1 VCD setting and it will be ready to burn.

One possible issue could be using TMPGEnc to mux audio that was actually encoded elsewhere. I encode the audio & video at the same time to avoid sync errors. Occationally I have to decode to an uncompressed WAV file using VirtualDub and then save a new AVI file using the WAV audio as the source to get the sync OK but that is only on previously encoded files (DivX).

I consistently use DVD2AVI 1.76 to pull the audio off MPEG2 files from my ReplayTV. I use the *.dv2 video file in an Avisynth script. I use the Avisynth script as the video source in TMPGEnc. I use the audio file generated by DVD2AVI as the audio source. I create a non-standard MPEG1 using Kwag's template.

I think the quality is great. Even at 128 with 125% volume increase the Dolby Surround II is PERFECT. DVD2AVI does a great job downmixing from Dolby Digital.

And... when I ocationally need an MPEG2 file generated for something I can then use that MPEG2 file as the video and audio source in TMPGEnc and remux as an MPEG1 non-standard. (the old header trick). It works perfectly each time I have tried it.
