noise from the VHS tape caused the encoder to need more bitrate?
 

Hi, Here are my experiences. I could be wrong, so please correct them if necessary.

I captured from vhs tapes and the highest I can put in CD is 75mins (815MB with overburn) by using KVCD template with setup 352x240, CQ=74, 1,12,3. Seem to me all people are ripping from DVD movie and be able to pack 120mins in a CD. Because the noises from the VHS tape caused the encoder used more spaces????

For some reasons, If I captured at 352x480 the results is not good as captured at 640x480 even I increased CQ=78 the result is about the same, just using more spaces.

I am using virtualdub program to do capturing. I am using the default setup. Just wondering any features in the program I need to turn on in order to archive the result like ripping a DVD in order helping the encoder program generate a better quality??

Sorry for a long story :oops:

Anyone had the same stories please shares or I am doing something wrong with my setup. :?

Hi Learner,

I ran into this exact same problem and I don't know the answer but am very eager to find out more about this. Were there's a will (or a filter) there's a way! 75 min was about was I was getting when encoding at 352 x 240 and capturing at DVD quality. I had audio sync problems when I cap. at 352 x 480

thnx

im in the process of doing some of my camcorder captures and have had the same results, try using avisynth is what i was told to use but i really cannot give you any help on this as im just working my way through it also .... kwag or el mero zooter seem to be the best people to ask about this or try here :
