KVCDx3: Time and effort pays off!
 

I've been hammering away at the specifics of learning the KVCD mojo for at least two months now, and dabbling in other topics like subtitles and filters. I knew nothing about AVIsynth, VobSub, or other add-ons (most of my experience thus far has been creating DiVX)... and I'm finally on the verge of success with my first major KVCD project, the 1-hour-59-minute Special Edition of Battle Royale!

I have a pretty high quality 2CD DiVX version of it, which includes .srt subtitles (separate from the video, so I had to learn VobSub to get them to show up), and I finally have each of the two CDs muxed at just under 400MB apiece in KVCDx3 (528x480), still looking very nice... and it'll fit on a single 80min CD.

When I was even more noobified, I assumed that the -PLUS templates (with the incredibly low 352x240 res) would be the only way to actually get 120+ minutes. Thankfully, I was wrong. :) Some movies deserve so much more than that.

The only setback is that I don't have a set-top DVD of my own to test it on (in this day and age!) :oops: So for now I'll have to try it out at a friend's house and see if their player will take it.
