Don't exactly know where to post that, since above all I want to say thank you to all who developped the KVCD know-how (templates, matrix, filters, tools, guides...) and maintain this forum to a high degree of (pick whatever you like) usefulness, accuracy, kindness, internationality...

After a few weeks reading this forum, and searching through answers to questions I never thought I could ask, I have been able to convert some DVDs to KVCD and fit them to 80min or 90min CDs with a quality I couldn't imagine before trying.

By the way, I use a tool that apparently is not considered as the best, but I learned my video conversion with it so I may not change easily : DVD2SVCD .
Thanks again

welcome in forum Livlander !
the forum is thankful for your kindness words!


you did your KVCDs using DVD2SVCD

Well, I did and furthermore... I liked it

When the initial modifications are done on the required files, it's rather easy to use, subtitles extraction is fully automated and file-size prediction is not that bad (ok, it's not that good either ) .

great !

dvd2svcd is a great prog and KVCD is a miracle!


my first steps was doing like you.
now i use the "KVCD way" !
see the tools, scripts, progs and the big help in the forum...

you will change too!

Hya guys,
Livlander, as you said, you've been here only for weeks and you already succeeded on
making KVCD using DVD2SVCD.
I imagine at least 50% of the guys started on the VCD/SVCD scene using that tool, like me
But then I realised I wanted to know how it really works, manually, and maybe try to
tweak my encodings a bit.
That's when I found KVCD.net
Today I still find DVD2SVCD a good tool for newbies and for one click encodings.
But in the end I just love to encode manually.
So doing it all manually or with a one click encode tool doesn't matter.
The only thing that counts is KVCD quality achieved both ways
Stick with us and you won't regret it.
Cheers
