Hi everyone
I´m having a recurring problem with my conversions to KVCD. I´ve been able to convert about 2 AVI files, one of them being 2h24min and the other 1h54min, they both fit on 1 700mb CD. I used the Simple Guide to Converting AVI to KVCD (
http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5486). The quality of both was acceptable, having used the 352x240 ULBR and 352x240 LBR templates, respectively, for TMPGEnc.
These two movies played great on my stand-alone DVD player. However, I have been encoding other movies, with the same setting and other settings, and I have not had any success. When I play them on my DVD player, I get good sound, but the image is all wrong, with most parts of the screen blue and/or pixelated (I mean 1-inch pixels). When I play said VCD on my PC, it works perfectly.
The things I imagine I might be doing wrong are the following:
1) I am doing something wrong when I multiplex the audio and video. When I do this, what settings should I use in TMPGenc. Do I have to load a KVCD template or what? If so, could someone tell me what settings to use with different movie standards of compression/FPS etc?
2) I am using templates which don´t match the source AVI file when I first make an *.m1v file of said source file. Again, if someone can help me out with this.
As an example, I´ll give the specifications to an AVI file and could someone tell me what to do?
The Graduate:
Length: 1h41min15s
xvid codec
640x272
bitrate 889kb/s
25 FPS
64 kb/s mono audio
I´m guessing I could use the KVCD-CQ-352x576-PAL PLUS template to make the *m1v file. When I multiplex, do I load a KVCD template as well? If so, do I load the same one I used to make the m1v file in the first place?
What would be the highest quality I could encode this movie at?
Any help would be extremely appreciated, seeing as I´ve been trying a lot and have had at best limited (but good) results.
Cheers, sorry for the very long text
