KVCD: Which Filters should I use?
A few days ago I streamed the movie Red Planet (103 min, PAL in 704x576 16:9) from Premiere. I know that many other guys did that before and posted theier settings, but I still have a few questions:
- Which Template should I use? - I have to change the min bitrate to at least 600kb (Pioneer dv-444). Is that a problem? - Which Filters should I use? I asked you this because I'm a little bit frustrated using KVCD templates. The first thing I hate is that I have to increase the min. bitrate to something about 650 till 750. And my sources are PAL so I never get the results those guys will get with NTSC material. or not? |

I know this sample and the avs but I think that won't work for me.
Because of this: 1.) I have to choose a height=576 instead of 480 (because of PAL) 2.) I have to tune up my min. bitrate to 650kb at least I think in sum I ca'n fit the movie on 1 80 min CDR with this settings. Please tell me that I'm wrong! |
Now I'm using the template 'KVCD-CQ-352x576-_PAL_-PLUS' with the following settings:
min bitrate: 600 max bitrate: 2500 cq: 60 My Output is ca. 6,3 MB per minute --> 103 min * 6,3 MB = 649 MB M1V BUT I'M VERY INTERESTING IN YOUR ANSWER TO MY SORROWS! |

Yeeah! I made it. I used the SKVCD PAL MPEG2 Template and changed the width to 480. So I got a SVCD conform resolution.
min Bitrate: 500 max Bitrate: 2800 VBV Buffer: 64 (because I got Underflows with lower values!) Audio: 160kb It fits one CDR80 with this settings. I integrated the filters convolution3D and ....dust, LegalClip and the Grip-Functions. |

Do I paste the above script into FitCD for size prediction and later for TMPGEnc (without size prediction section)? Do I use Sampler() or the code produced by FitCD for size prediction? |
Hi nicksteel,
Use the code above. Just change the Mpeg2Source line to point to your .d2v file and change the GripCrop to your target resolution. Use sampler like it is above. "Sampler(length=24) " -kwag |
If I want to use Telecide and Decimate from the Decomb package in my AVS script instead of Force Film in DVD2AVI to go from 29fps to 23fps, where would I place each in the AVS script?

Thanks. And, the TMPGEnc GOP answer is really " 1 12 2 1 24 " for latest KVCDx3 template?

Ran the script as you said. I still get major blocks, especially on the opening credits which are stationary on a black background. Also, the motion is quite jerky. This is a Force Film from DVD2AVI muxed with BBMPEG. Testing an encode/mux with the standard TMPGEncPlus film template produces a smooth copy, but I still want the improved quality of KVCDx3. This is DVD low action source, but with some dark scenes.
I was wondering if my CyberHome 500 (same as 528) may be a problem. I viewed your new sample for KVCDx3 Mpeg1 file on the player and it worked ok. (I couldn't get the menu to work with/without PBC and had to burn with NERO as a mpg). Also, could the bit rate be a problem for me and should I try MPEG2? Are some versions of DVD2AVI, BBMPEG or TMPGEnc more stable than others. |
I know some players need the audio to be 44100Hz
also when you burn the cd try lowering your write speed to 8x or lower KVCDX3 Mpeg1 is the best choice I use VCDEasy to burn the KVCD's http://www.vcdeasy.org/ |
Would the audio rate affect the video quality?
I am burning with NERO at 4x to be safe. If the audio rate doesn't affect the vidio quality, I don't know what to try, except to try another DVD. |
I've given up on the film and am using another with more positive results. I do find that motion is about perfect with KVCDx3Mpeg2, jumpy with KVCDx3Mpeg1 on my CyberHome 500. I will use Mpeg2.
I feel my problems are more in muxing than templates. When I produce video only mpg with TEMPGEnc using KVCDx3, I have better results. I must be somehow screwing up BBMPEG. |
