Sorry, but I fixed my problem with the LOTR. It seems I had the aspect ratio set to 4:3 525 line NTSC while the original video was 16:9 525 line NTSC. oops. well, I wouold like to know what the VBV buffer size does. (And what it affects) i've been at VCD's for a few months but I haven't touched this yet.
- Again, any help would be appreciated -

i encoded the movie "Snatch" (103 minutes) last night with the new template.
OMG! its awesome! and it came out to under 750 mb. the downside is it took 10 hours to encode, twice as long as the old templates
...but oh well, its a keeper.

Sorry! CCE will not take that GOP
Also CCE's MPEG-1 quality is far inferior to TMPEG's MPEG-1.

Well sad that it wont accept the gop structure, and I am planing on using mpeg 2 48khz audio for dvd compliance so thats why I wanted to use cce.
Also how long will this encoding take!! I have been told its more than the original templet and my my computer is only 450mhz!!!
Also you wouldn't be as nice as to give me a few tips for setting the templet up for 2 cds agus dvd compliance would ya?

Hi Kwag
How about conducting a poll on KVCD templates DVD player feature compatibility as that makes life easy for DVD player buyers.
I am not successful with APEX-660. KOSS Portable player is successful
with KXVCD @29fps though it has some video jerks which can't be seen.

Hey Kwag,
What parameters do you fiddle with in FitCD to get it to produce the appropriate avs commands for your new KVCDplus template? (704x480)
I was trying to get the appropriate cropping command for a widescreen movie (spygame)
Thanks for all your help

kwag,
big fan of your work and have been following since vcdhelp.
downloaded the clips and noticed the macro/micro blocks are very noticeable. i agree that after a while you tend to ignore them but they are still there. i'm still using the previous template with the quantize matrix tab, Output YUV checked to make the blacks fully black and make 2 cds at 78 cq. i can't tell the difference in the dvd to the xvcd. that works for me.
the question is when i load your template some of the settings do not change, for instance i have field b for field order so it will work in my panasonic rv26, which doesn't seem to work in other dvds. can you just post the screen shots you use for tmpg so everyone can check their settings against yours? i think that would be very helpful.
we're getting close!

Hi Yoda:
These fields ( Field order, etc ) will change depending on your source. If it's Interlaced or Non-interlaced. So I can't give a screen shot for that, because it will be different for every user.
For example. If your source is non-interlaced, the Field Order doesn't make a difference if it's set to bottom field or top field.
If you have field "b" set, that means that the source you've encoded is interlaced, and the first field is "b". If you were to encode a source that had the first field as "a", your mpeg would look very jumpy, and you would have to change the order to "a".
So field "b" will not work for every material.
If someone is encoding an interlaced video, you have to find the correct field order. Here's a link with the correct procedure:

kwag,
the reason i went to field b was because playback on the panasonic was jumpy on (field a). i thought the source was interlaced but after checking i found it wasn't. i've use (field b) for all my dvd rips but will run some tests with the new template as (field a) just to see if the jumping comes back.
by the way what gives with the 2-3 hour increase in encoding time? i have a dell 1.76 ghz. and it cooks. now i'm looking at 6 hours for a 2 hour movie.

The increased encoding time is caused by the higher resolution.

kwag could u plz help, i dont know where im going wrong. i downloaded the sample of the matrix and was amazed by the quailty so then i decided to give the new temp a try i used kvcdx2 (for 1 cd) and left the settings as default and statred to encode on very slow, the file i got was much worse than the original yah the res was much bigger but i could make out little blocks (just noticeable but bunched up together in a section of the screen which made them noticeable) and at times the picture would become fuzzy not to fuzzy i might add but noticeable is this becuse of the res settings in the temp? or could it be that the original file i was encodeing was encoded at 352x240

What's your source? What are you trying to encode?

If you're trying to use the KVCDx2 to encode a 352x240 source, there's no way you're going to get good quality.
You're trying to blow up a 352x240 to 704x480. That's a no no!
