Made First KDVD - disappointed
I am a newbie on board. I have a lot of DivX and Xvid AVI downloaded from the internet that I need to burn them on DVD. The AVI are usually low to medium quality.
Before KDVD, I was using TMPGEnc Plus with 2-pass VBR and avg bitrate of 4800 Kbs. Results were quite acceptable except the output file size and some loss in sharpness and details. I am looking for a template that can optimize the quality of the conversion. I tried my first half-D1 KDVD but when I watched it on my standalone player, it was quite blocky which is typical for low bitrate in the MPEG-2. Am I on the right track to use KVCD/KDVD to optimize the conversion of low quality AVI? Some guides pls. |
no surprise for your bad results....
the source is divx/xvid, 2 pass vbr, avg bitrate 4000.... seems that you don't read any guide yet, then you don't get good results! take a look in the guides in main page: http://www.kvcd.net you will find everything you need! ahh...we don't support download files, :arrow: please, read the disclaimer ! ...welcome in forum Uruk-hai ! :wink: |

think in his source ! :roll: |
But with an average of 4800kbps I think you can't see a difference between CQ and 2-pass. But CQ is faster even with prediction. :D

There are certain areas that confused me: 1) The avisynch script referred by black prince assumes a DVD or clean source, in my case my source is low-medium quality DivX/Xivd 2) I could not find an approprite template for 352x240. There wasn't one for MPEG2 and the one for MPEG1 is LBR (low bit rate). I need something better. That was the reason I settled on half-D1 although I know well that I should pick 352x240. Is KDVD only meant for shrinking DVD into smaller size? Do I really need to use an avisynch script to frameserve to TMPGEnc before I can get decent result out of the exisiting templates? |

There wasn't one for MPEG2 and the one for MPEG1 " maybe i'm wrong but you can't encode mpeg2 at 352x240! "Is KDVD only meant for shrinking DVD into smaller size? " yes and without loose quality but the source have to be clean! "Do I really need to use an avisynch script to frameserve to TMPGEnc before..." it's a better choice. you need to know D.I.K.O. , you're lucky....take a look : http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=79 we don't know anything better for divx/xvid sources than D.I.K.O. :wink: |

Oh... no, there is an other choice : NEVER DO KDVD FOM DIVX. |

"You're wrong. " yeah... :wink: i never did and don't knew about 352x240 mpeg2...standalones play it? but i wrote -> maybe ...then i'm 50% right! :lol: (maybe) "ONE AND ONLY choice.." only?.....then here i'm 100% wrong ! :oops: "NEVER DO KDVD FOM DIVX" yeah, here you are 100% right! :wink: |
