VERY simple. You just take my script here :
http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7223
(use V4 it's the more efficient)

All you have to edit is the name of the file, the WIDTH and the HEIGHT of the target. You encode the video using the template you want under tmpgenc or even CCE if you like the results. If you need subtitles you just have a line to add to the script.

For the audio you just have to decompress it in wav using virtualdub, then encode it into mp2 with besweet or whatever you want, and finally mux the video and the audio with tmpgenc or bbmpeg.

Note: All that is for avi as source but for DVD not more complicate, there is just the script that changes (and the tools used to extract the audio).

Note2: I suggest you also to use CQMatic to find the correct CQ.

All this need a day to handle the firs time but after that doing a KVCD will take you only 10 minutes (encoding time not included of course). And ANY PROBLEMS that you would face will find an easy solution because you will master ALL operations from begining to end.

thanx alot Phil but, i always use DVD sources so do i use Kwag's last optical script and if so what exactly do i edit? i need to see it done to exactly know to do it. is there a guide or something i could see detailed instructions? and i would use TMPGEnc. and i would alwaysCQMatic.

Hey password, I want to know about that script
I didn't know we were already doing Optical conversions
(Just kidding )

The process do not change. In the optimal script there is also 2 line to change : the name of the source in "mpeg2source(...)" and the parameters in the gripcropline.

Unfortunally Karl does not give any hints on this line so there is how it should be :
W and H are the ones of the target,
source_anamorphic is generally true for DVD
dest_anamorphic is generally false for KVCD but you can have it to true for KDVD.

@Dialhot: Could you explain in simplest words what is or means a source anamorphic and dest anamorphic. What happends when a source or a target are anamorphics. It is related with manage of movie by standalone or TV?
Thanks.

@ Kwag, yup i am finaly going to attempt to do it by hand
@ Phil, i kind of figured that but it seems more complicated
@ Pro, your right because i have no idea what the heck anamorphic and dest anamorphic means? okay this is it. i will go on my quest to THE KVCD TOPIC to find the best way to make KVCD's. Thanx for everyones help because i must do this and there's no turning back.
P.S. @ Phil thanks for the Gripcrop code. And guys what do i do about this line
GripBorders()
#LetterBox( Your_Values_Here ) # Depends on situation. Use MovieStacker!
do i edit this or do i leave it blank

Gripborders() leave it as it is. Don't need any parameter.
#Addborders, in V4 script is useful only in one situation. When your source it is not divisible by 16. In this case:

Anamorphic is when you have the "cone-head" phenomena. It's simple to see : just play the video in a media player where you can force the A/R to 4:3 (zoomplayer for intance). If the people have all 'cone-heads" then the source is anamorphic.

I really don't know why you ask that because "16:9 anamorphic" is supposed to be written on the back cover of almost all your DVD ! Don't you ever use one as source ?

thanx Pro and Phil. i think i am almost set but first i copy Kwag's script and add it to notepad (.txt) then what do i do from there?
P.S. it this correct

Do you know means of "rhetoric question" or "rhetoric asks".
I asked that only for Password help.

thanx Pro

You thanks pro to ask questions for you and not me to have answered to them ?
