Problem authoring a CVD - Not KVCD
------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to author a NTSC CVD. It's 352x480, MPEG-2 2680kbs VBR, 48.0 khz audio. I mux using TMPGEnc Plus 2.5.
If I mux as "MPEG-2 Super Video CD (VBR)", I get a message saying something about "packet overflow" and that it may not work. If I mux it as "MPEG-2 Video Stream (VBR)" it seems to mux OK.
I then try to author with VCDEasy 2.0 as "SVCD 1.0", but of course due to how it was muxed, it autopads like crazy taking my 774mb file to 837mb and does not fit on a CD.
I can author it OK as "VCD 2.0", if I mux it as "MPEG-1 Video CD (Non-Standard)". But for some reason my standalone reads it as a VCD 1.1 (that's what the OSD shows when it's loaded). Since it sees a VCD 1.1, I lose my sequencing, thus losing my menu that I created.
Is there anyway that I can get this CVD authored as SVCD 1.0 in VCDEasy, or am I going to be forced to go SVCD compliant so that I can use the menu? If that's the case I guess I'll just author as a CVD (VCD 1.1 or 2.0) with MPEG-1 Sequence Header, because I want to preserve for transfer to DVD±R in the future.
Also, why an I getting the error message in TMPGenc when I try to mux correctly as "MPEG-2 Super Video CD (VBR)"
FWIW, my standalone is a GE 1101PA. This player is flashable with the APEX AP-703 region/macrovision free firmware. Using either firmware reads a VCD 2.0 authored disc as VCD 1.1.
Thanks in advance.
