hello !

im wanna create k[s]vcd, i wanted to know whats the diffrence between
the KVCDx3-MPEG-2 NTSC/PAL and the SKVCD-1h30 to 2h templates ?

Basically the difference betweens templates are the resolution used and the video bitrates (min and max).

For instance I never use any template except the KVCdx3 one and I change myself manually the points above according to what I need for my current job.

im using this guide to make ksvcd: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13391, btw it was ur recomendation, thanks alot

i took a 1:45:00 movie and i tried it once with the:
'KVCDx3-MPEG-2-NTSCFilm.mcf' and 'SKVCD-1h45-480x480-NTSC.mcf'
both files are the same size and i chked it out and the result seems to be quiet the same...

should i use the 'skvcd' or the kvcdx3 template ?

Resolution for KVCDx3 is 544*480 (you can check it on the bottom line of tmpgenc, just after you have loaded the template). So that is strange.

For a 1h45 movie, all depend on.. the movie . So let your eyes decide.
Generally up to 1h40 you can use KVCDx3, after you have to try with 480*480 (aka SKVCD template if you prefer).

so u recomand using KVCDx3 only on a less then 1h45m movie and above use the KSVCD template?

cyron just make sure your dvd player is compatible for playing that resolution of 544x480 or whatever. because i know that on my unheard of "Electrohome (branch of Citizen)" DVD player, i had trouble with resolutions over 352x240.

i believe on the main pg there is a link for dvd player compatibility
