Two CDs with AC3 to KVCD?
As 1CD encodings go really well now, I decided to try something a little bit more difficult. I have two XViD files with AC3 sound that I would like to encode to one KVCD. The only topic I could find concerning this was: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5967.
Obviously I can use: Code:
Avisource("xvid_part1.avi,false")++Avisource("xvid_part2.avi,false") Don't be afraid to answer. Thanks! |
Hi: Demux both files with VirtualDubMod or save wav (audio full procesing mode). Transcode from ac3 or wav to mp2 with Besweet or Headac3he. Put both mp2 isolates in a folder and in that folder do a direct access with following command line:
Code:
copy /b *.mp2 final.mp2 Another way would be that you change your settings (option, environmental settings, audio engine) in TMPGEnc pointing at toolame as your audio encoder (you must to have toolame in your PC) Change your avs script to: Code:
Avisource("xvid_part1.avi,true")++Avisource("xvid_part2.avi,true") You can also take a look at http://www.avisynth.org/Splice AlignedSplice is an avisynth function that permits you to join 2 o more clips without audio sync problems. (I never used it, but just in case...) |
Usually i do this:
open file 1 in vdub, then choose in the file menu "append avi segment" and choose file 2. Then save the ac3 file using direct stream copy. BTW. You can now also choose to save the joined avi without the audio, to use for your script. |
Thanks guys! I'm going to give your methods a try! 8)

I've got a nice KVCD now :) I'll give a short explanation of how I did it (was a couple of days ago):
- Opened xvid_part1.avi in VirtualDubMOD and then appended xvid_part2.avi to it. - In VirtualDubMOD I demuxed the audiostream in .AC3. - Used BeSweet to encode the .AC3 directly to .MP2 (2 channels, 112kbps, 44khz) - Made a small modification in my AVS script and changed the first line to: Code:
Avisource("xvid_part1.avi")++Avisource("xvid_part2.avi") - Changed stream type to ES (Video only). - Changed bitrate and aspect ratio. - Saved the project and used CQMatic to predict the proper CQ for 1CD. - Used bbMPEG to mux video+audio. - Final .MPG file was 837MB so I had to overburn (as usual.. I always set audio to 128kbps in CalcuMatic even though I use 112kbps audio and it still isn't accurate enough. But it's better than nothing and I'm only doing 1x prediction). - Burn failed at ~820MB but luckily the end credits are about 4 minutes long, so the entire movie was still on the disc. - Disc played fine and quality was nice. The transition from part1 to part2 wasn't even noticable! :) By the way: after my first try and burn, after being half way through the movie I suddenly noticed the subtitles were starting over again. I fucked up in Subtitle Workshop (joined the subtitles for part1 with each other, instead of part1 and part2 with each other). So I had to re-encode the entire movie again. Mistakes are part of life :D |
A very good solution!
