Kwag (Or Anyone!)

Is there a guide for the KVCD file size predictor (the adapted FitCD which includes the filters). I've read through a few threads but am still fairly confused.

What I am looking to do is convert a captured video (already in MPEG format) to a KVCD-plus XVCD using the LBR template. My player won't play any of the higher resolution KVCD formats.

I'm reallynot sure how to configure the FitCD for my purpose.

Can you help ?

Many thanks

Open your source file in FitCD, then set FitCD's resolution setting to 'VCD' and the resize mode to 'precise bicubic'. Enable KVCD prediction (tick 'file size prediction'). To the left there's a text-field with the .avs-script in it. If you've got an older version of FitCD, change "Framecount" to the movie's frame-count and "Framerate" to your movie's frame-rate (if it's PAL write 25, if it's NTSC write 29.97, or if it's 3:2 pulldown write 23.976). Now save this script and open it with TMPGEnc. Load the LBR template and do your first encode. In the meantime you can open KVCD Predictor, set the length of your movie (given in FitCD) and set your preferred audio-bitrate (I'd take 128 or 160). Now you're given the filesize which your sample encode should have. Reencode your sample with optimized settings (increase or decrease the quality setting) until the size of your sample encode more or less matches the size that KVCD predictor has calculated.

Best regards

That makes a lot more sense now. I'll give it a go.
