DVD2SVCD: Settings check for DVD backups
Hi all,
I normally use the settings below for various DVD backups. I really like some confirmation if I'm doing this OK: For long movies (<180 min e.g. LOTR): Max bitrate=1150, Min.bitrate=400. KVCD 352x288 (or 352x576=CVD) BBMPEG=> MPEG2 VBR Misc tab=MPEG1 Audio=128 stereo For all other encodes (Movie length ± 90 - 120 min): Max bitrate=2376, Min.bitrate=400. KSVCD 480x576. BBMPEG=> MPEG2 VBR Misc tab=MPEG2 Audio=160 stereo Is this abouth right ? (for best quality on 1 CD-R80). |
- I would use max 300 kbps min bitrate.
- For long movies (about 180 min) I would use 112 or 96 kbps audio bitrate. Use Dual Channel!!! - I would set max bitrate for 480/576 SKVCD down to 2000 kbps. |
Hi Azel,
Thanks for replying... I use 400 min for compatibility. Some players (Philips) seem to need this min. setting. Don't you think 112 or 96 kbps (MP2 !) is maybe too low ? Dual channel should preserve dolby surroung information but that doesn't seem to be the case on some encodes I did so I stuck too stereo instead....... Why would you set max bitrate down to 2000 (filesize ?). Like to hear your comments.......... PS: What about my BBMPEG settings ? I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't set BBMPEG to MPEG1 or VCD (what's the difference between MPEG1 and VCD setting in BBMPEG anyway ...? Thought it's the same ..? |

A thumb is that you use 10 % of video bitrate. Quote:

The same with SKVCD. If your player plays SKVCDs muxed as SVCD, use SVCD, if not mux as VCD. |
Thanks Azel........, I'll try your suggestions.
I think my (Cyberhome) Standalone plays everything..... I think Dialhot mentioned ones that MPEG1 on misc tab is better for picture quality because MPEG1 is better at low resolutions (where KVCD is). Maybe I should use it on all encodes (keep BBMPEG settings on "SVCD"). |
