I never heard of this version is it any good?

The last version I downloaded was 0.9.993 and the latest version shown in the Acp forum was 0.9.991 so I dont know why delaosa hasn't posted these new version :?:

The version you have posted is quite an older one there was two newer ones posted on this forum but I guess the links are dead now along with the acp section im afraid. :(

Can someone send me ACP please!!??

Been trying the link all day with no success even with registering. The download page seems to be down. Can someone send the darn thing to me please at: kmcguire@austin.rr.com
Many thanks!!

OK, maybe it's just that I'm blind... but where the heck do I download kvcd from? Can't find anything on this site. :-(

And what exactly do you want to download?
All that you need to encode your movies is on the 1st page of this topic.
Be more specific.
Cheers

Well, I thought that there were some sort of encoder, or software to make kvcd's, but seems to me that nothing on the first page of this thread is made my the people behind kvcd.net. So what's the point of having to pay to be informed that other people make what you need? That smells a bit fishy to me. :roll:

KVCD specifications are avalaible for free.
KVCD templates also.

If you need explanation to use them, then you have to register on the forum. Or go on an other forum to ask about it (but you won't have the same quality of answer).

@William,

You did read this before you joined, didnt' you :?:

Code:

"What is KVCD?

"K Video Compression Dynamics"



KVCD is a modification to the standard MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 GOP structure and Quantization Matrix. It enables you to create over 120 minutes of near DVD quality video, depending on your material, on a single 80 minute CD-R/CD-RW. We have published these specifications as KVCDx3, our official resolution, which produce 528x480 (NTSC) and 528x576 (PAL) MPEG-1 variable bit rate video, from 64Kbps to 3,000Kbps. Using a resolution of 352x240 (NTSC) or 352x288 (PAL), it's possible to encode video up to ~360 minutes of near VCD quality on a single 80 minute CD-R. The mpeg files created will play back in most modern standalone DVD players. You must burn the KVCD MPEG files as non-standard VCD or non-standard SVCD (depends on your player) with Nero or VCDEasy.



Using KVCD parameters to create DVDs (KDVD), will enable you to create 100% DVD compliant MPEG-2 streams, capable of playing on any standard DVD player. This will allow you to put up to about 6 hours Full D-1 720x480 on one DVD, or about 10 hours at Half D-1 352x480."

Which is very clear at the top of the main site.
As for software made by other people, some of it yes, and some of it is EXCLUSIVELY made by us, like CQMatic, CalcuMatic, etc. Download links for those are on their corresponding forum areas.
When you use these tools combined with the experience of many many people here on the forum, you'll get the best quality on the smallest footprint.
This is no "one click" method or application. It's an advanced process, and takes a little time to master. That's why it says "Advanced Video Conversion" at the top of the forum.
