This is the first time I am trying KVCD for a bigger video duration.

Today I captured IceAge from HBO

1. Capture
Codec: Huffyuv v2.1.1
Avi Duration is: 1h:15m:49s
Resolution : 320x240 NTSC 23.97fps (This is the defaukt with my Driver)

2. Extracted Audio (wav) with Vdub (1:15:49)

3. MP2 Encoded Audio with headac3he-0.23a. One strange thing noted was my MP2 audio duration is 1:15:52. Could someone tell me why? I used the setting mentioned here http://www.kvcd.net/guides/kguide/kvcdguide.htm

4. TmpEnc Encoded with the following script Avisyn ver 2.08. Used template KVCD-CQ-352x240-_NTSCFilm_-PLUS.mcf
==============
LoadPlugin("D:\DVD_SVCD_VCD\MovieStacker2\Filters\ GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\DVD_SVCD_VCD\MovieStacker2\Filters\ STMedianFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\DVD_SVCD_VCD\MovieStacker2\Filters\ dustv5.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\DVD_SVCD_VCD\MovieStacker2\Filters\ legalclip.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\DVD_SVCD_VCD\MovieStacker2\Filters\ unfilter.dll")

AviSource("G:\WorkArea\IceAge.avi")
LegalClip()
unfilter(50,50)
GripCrop( width=352, height=240, overscan=0 )
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
STMedianFilter(8, 32, 0, 0, 8, 32)
FaeryDust() # or PixieDust()
mergechroma(blur(1.50))
mergeluma(blur(0.2))
LegalClip()
==================

I copied the above script from one of the kvcd.net forums

5. My final TmpEnc video output duration is 1:15:44. Again could someone please tell me why.

So my final Video and Audio are 8 seconds out of sync.

Please guys help me.

Hi Dominic,

I'm pretty sure you'll have to apply Inverse Telecine to that capture
That way, you'll be able to encode at 23.976fps, and not at 29.97fps.
Search the forum for telecide() and decimate().

So what is the process? Is it something like

1. Apply telecide() and decimate(). on the AVI file and generate a new AVI file.

2. Now run the above script (first post).

Please let me know how to run a Avisynth script? Like
1. I open TmpEnc and cancel the wizard, under video source point the script.
2. Press Load putton and select the KVCD template
3. Press Start Button

Is this correct?
