my standalone can handle pal and ntsc so it doesn't matter what I change the resolution to. Wait I only know how to encode avis. I don't know what to change the source to. like Avi is AVISOURCE and 2 mpgs is a=DirectShowSource b=DirectShowSource a++b but what about 1 mpg1? DirectShowSOurce on its own?

For SHURE not

And Ill tell you why:
If you would be more knowledged it would makes sense saying that, as by this you would know what youre doing.
But actually you run through the walls, not the slightest intention to get a bit more knowledge (sorry but true) by searching around in here or other mpeg1/2 areas. You should first get things under control BEFORE saying "doesnt matter..."
Its not a way to get knowledge by starting things at point 5 or whatever. AND even someone explains you things, you dont use them later?! Why?

THIS POST IS NOT AN OFFENSE! BUT try to put yourself into a moderators mind, so YOU CAN imagine whats needed on informations to help you deeply.

déja vú...... and 6 times the same! (hey Phil, it's wroten right?)

my apologies incredible - I do try thats why I use the old posts here and use the script here for 2 vcd into 1 kvcd. I'm more used to doing DVD backups than merging and compressing 2 files into 1. OKAY!!! In TMPGENC when I open the avs in the preview screen after I have loaded the avs file, the 2nd half of the file shows up with no problems. I'd like to keep it as PAL resolution. What should I do next?

You should do READ Phils posts!

Cause IF you would do that described way above you woudn't still deal with 2 parts.

Thats what I meant above, ... someone like Phil takes his time for explanations and it seems you dont even follow them ??

déja vú.....7 times!
ink,
do you know the Frank Zappa's music called:
"the torture never stops"

Sarcasm/on

Isnt there also a song called "Road to nowhere" ???

Sarcasm/off

I did as Phil said and muxed it as standard VCD. THen I ended with a file that is about 908mbs. I don't know what to do next.

No one asked you to mux it but merge it .
In Tmpgenc > Mpeg Tools . Goto Merge/Cut
Add in order both the parts and select Mpeg1 Vcd and merge , so you will have one file to encode to kvcd.

LAST PROBLEMS YOU GOT WHEN ENTERING YOUR LAST SCRIPT USING 2 PARTS OF THE MOVIE!
NOW WHEN YOU GOT ONE PART (merged NOT muxed!!!!!!!!!!!) .... wouldnt it be nice ... (just for fun) to try IF now your problem could be solved when doing the way via dirctshowsource as expalined BUT using this ONE PIECE OF MPEG .... to me this would be some kind of logic reaction?!

(I do scream cause I want you to HEAR me).

Related to merging that was clear spoken out already:

I meant MERGe not mux.. I merged the 2 halves of the movie into 1 movie. DO I just change the source to DirectShowSource in the 1st part of the script?

This would be the script now

DirectShowSource("E:\movie.mpg").killaudio()
ConvertToYV12()
BlindPP(cpu=4)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =3,variance=0.1,seed=1)
Convolution3D(1, 6, 12, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
GripCrop(352, 288, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
Undot()
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
#Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_ma x=10,variance=0.3,seed=5623)
GripBorders()

So now just go with a regular script using just one single line "directshowsource" insteed of the line "avisource".
What Inc wanted to tell you is : do we have really to take you by the hand step by step all the way long ?

We can also do the KVCd for you ans send the CD by postmail, you want ?

Ta !!! I'll try and encode now. Tell you the result tomorrow.

No need to be that nasty. But I think I won't post after I have had a long day at work. Seems to be affecting my ability of reading off the computer screen. Merging the file using the function in TMPGENC works, but what I don't understand is that when I use preview and scroll to the end, the timer at the top states the whole movies (part a + part b) duration, but the video is only showing the 1st half. I used the script posted earlier in this topic. What could I have done wrong?

EIGHTEEN POSTS before this one, this isd what I asked to you :
Eighteen... 10 + 8 You really like to make us all lose our time

Your source is crap. Period.

So nothing can be done to fix it?

No.

I'm backing up another 2 VCD to 1 KVCD using the script for joining 2 mpgs and it worked. The end result is I have a video that contains exactly what the 2 files have. But the playback of the video is slower. Its so slow movements become blurry. My source file is 25fps. 352*288. What can I do to get it back to normat speed?

And how is your target ?
