I used the acp program to rip a dvd, and it came out as 720 mb, i used the default settings that was already there on that program!

My question is. I dont really care for great video quality, or sound quality, Just Viewable and hearable. and if you can get me a kvcd template or tell me the kvcd settings for acp to use, to get the lowest file size mpg possible, with viewable video and hearable sound. for all 100-120 minute dvd's! NTSC , please tell me

You're going to have to use TMPEG and the manual process, if you really want optimized low bitrate and good quality.
Take a look here: http://www.kvcd.net/dvd-models.html and get the 352X240 LBR template.
That will give you ~180 minutes on a CD with very good watcheable quality.
However, you will still need to use CQMatic to calculate the correct encoding settings.
Read about CQMatic in the forum.
It superceeded ACP and ToK.

I will assume that with mp4 container you are talking about MPEG-4 H.264 (also known as AVC)

You cannot compare a MPEG-4 H.264 with a MPEG-1 ! MPEG-4 H.264 compress A LOT more!! And no, you can not use .mp4 on VCDs. Besides, we are talking about low resolutions. Lets say 352x288. If you use MPEG-4 H.264 for that resolution you can still go below 280 MB!

So, there is no other way... If you want it smaller than that, try the ULBR template. You will get smaller sizes.

Ok. I am giving you a full example. It is for an AVI file. But of course it applies to d2v source too.

you must install AviSynth -> http://www.avisynth.org
grab PARANOIA here -> http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=93

01- Goto http://www.kvcd.net/dvd-models.html and download the PAL 352x288 ULBR template:
save it to: to C:\Program Files\Pegasys Inc\TMPGEnc Plus 2.5\Template


02- This is our AVI test:


03- Go on PARANOIA and press F2:


04- Select the video file:


05- Apply configs to match our template (352x28:


06- Save the AviSynth Script:


07- The script by itself:


08- Launch TMPGENC and LOAD the template:


09- Click on BROWSE and load the .AVS file. Select System (Video + Audio):


10- Click on START and waits. When it finishes, you will get the final result:


11- BURN with nero as VCD.

enjoy

So you are on wrong thread
you want something like this: http://www.autogk.me.uk/
But AUTOGK supports only XviD and DivX.

for MP4 container and codecs x264 (H264) (also known as AVC) use this:

If you plan to play the video on your DVD SAP (Stand Alone Player) and if IT supports only NTSC go on NTSC one. But if you are talking about only of your DVD Movie, it does not matter.

The only question that you must answer and for which you are still not clear is : do you want to read your video on your PC or on a standalone player ?

On PC you have access to a lot of formats that will be far smaller than MPEG or Divx (h264, rv10...) but won't be read on an standalone.

So please PC or not PC ?

Then you should forget avi and kvcd. The best codec currently is x264 and you won't find anything giving you better quality in a smaller file.

I don't know this "autoAC" application that Sparkster was talking about in his previous post, but if I were you I'd look towards this tool. And for your avi sources, AutoGK will be the one to use (as mentioned by sparskter too).

The best place to read about x264 is on doom9.org forum. Here we are focusing on MPEG2. You will obtain all the answer you need there.

Actually I was refering to the only forum section on doom9 that as "x264" in its description. I think the sticky post in top of it can be a good start, and afterwards you will have to ask for the details you need, if either.
