i have a bunch of svcd and want 2 convert them 2 kvcd how do i do this

Start by reading the guides on the front page at www.kvcd.net (right panel)

-kwag

all i c is either divx/avi/dvd to kvcd
all i want 2 do is pick my svcd and then convert it 2 kvcd

It's basically the same process as if you were doing it from a DVD. Open your MPEG with DVD2AVI, create a .d2v project file, and proceed from that point just like if you had created a .d2v from a DVD.
So any guide that explains the DVD->KVCD process will work, but basically skipping the ripping process.
If you have problems opening the MPEG files on your CD, use VCDGear to extract them.

i thought there a program where i could just pick the vcd then convert it 2 kvcd

Keep in mind that the result will not be very good
You're recompressing an already compressed material. So don't expect very good results
If I were you, I would keep the VCDs/SVCDs as they are.

As it is not recommanded at all to make SVCD->KVCD conversion, it is not very usefull to spend time making such tool.

But you can use any tools that can do KVCD automatically from a d2v project (Tok, ACP). You just have the first step to do manually (build the d2v project qwith DVD2AVI).

You beat me by 1 minute

Beat ya Phil

And now you beat me by 1 minute

i thought i would less mess because the movies i have r 2 cds i thought it would be better just 2 have 1 cd
kvcd play on all dvd players that play vcd/svcd

Well, you can compress the 2 CDs down to 1, but as I said, quality will suffer.

-kwag

so if i wanted 2 get the cds down 2 1
I would convert them from svcd 2 avi then 2 kvcd

NO
You encode the MPEG to MPEG.
If you convert MPEG->AVI->MPEG, that's the worse thing you can do

-kwag

so i convert my svcd 2 kvcd but didn't u say dont do that

Okay, let's tell you taht in words you can understand : each time you encode a video, you LOOSE a lot of things.
The more step you have, the more are the LOSS.

When your movie was turned into SVCD, there where a lot of LOSSES.
If you convert them into KVCD, there will be others LOSSES.

That's why it is NOT recommanded to convert your SVCD into KVCD.
That's why you MUST use an intermediate avi file !

Capisce ?

so i should avi 2 kvcd

IF and only IF your source is avi.
If your source is a DVD, then you convert straight to MPEG, and forget an intermediate avi conversion.
