Hi getsome831,

Yes. But you must have already encoded your audio to .mp2, and add it to ToK. Then when it finished the encode ( the .m1v ), it will multiplex the .m1v and the .mp2 into a .mpg fie.

hi all

i'm trying to follow your guide but i'm stuck at TOK section i've put script on moviestacker and it saves as avs file, when i open avisynth script in TOK i get error **invalid floating point error**

Where am i going wrong ???

sorry if it a daft question it my first KVCD

i'm using this file as requested in guide

Is this correct ??

thanks in advance :oops:

---------------------------
not sure what to do

Headac3he: http://darkav.de.vu/

this is an old one but there is a new version with the dlls(drivers)

it is not in the main site http://darkav.de.vu/ even though it has the name with a link but it takes you to the old version and drivers

i went to doom9.org to get it however, question is those this new version contain the all the drivers needed?

i see alot of people having errors also, this is a good guide and i want it too work

Damn, now Headac3he2a the new version is not even running.

After i put the ac3 file and then the output to be mp2 and do the stuff what blank prince tells you to do, Windows XP gives me an error saying that it is responding and closes it, i removed the Headac3he2a and installed over and over but it still doesnt want to run

whats happening?

what's happening?
you download the wrong version!

what is the CPU of your pc :?:
athlon xp,p4..... :?: :?:

it is an athlon processor and it runs at 950 mhz, thank you. i guess i will try a different one , i will come back with the results

im guessing athlon xp all are 1ghz of speed

damn, i solved the first problem but now im getting this one, sorry for the Image for being so large, i forgot to shrink it

it keeps giving me that the AC3 file is corrupt, i ran DVD2AVI to create a different AC3 file but it keeps giving me the same thing.

The solution of your problem is probably here :

thank you so much bro, i will give it a go and see whats up

once done encoding movie skips minutes at a time.
 

Hi, I followed the post above, its really helpful and it was really nice to post it!! I am having a problem though, when I go into Tok it loads tmpg.exe three times, the first time it is only open for a short time and no errors, the second time it is open for a short time but gives me an error of:

Division by zero, line 31.

it says this error is in the script file that is generated by this process. The error is not in the script file that i use for this process. I am using the default kvcd script file included with movie stacker.

The biggest problem is that my result movie skips huge parts of the movie(maybe 30 seconds to a minute) and then plays about 3 seconds. It keeps doing this through the whole movie. Anyone know whats up??

Here is the script file im using btw(its the default one):

Sampler(length=24)
## MPEG size = ((Total frames/MovieTimeInMinutes)/24) * MPEG sample file size * .98 ##

When you're using ToK you don't need this line:
Remove it from your script or put a # in front of it so it looks like this:
#Sampler(length=24)
Now load your script into ToK and try again.
The reason you don't need it is because ToK use it's own sampler function.

hmm
 

thanks so much, everything seems to be working now :)

hmm
 

One more problem, this one is probably small :) Tok outputs the video file fine now, but it outputs it as a .m1v file. This file is unreadable by nero, I tried changing the extension to .mpg by hand. Nero will then recognize the file, but cant analyze it for burning ... thanks again for any help.

A .m1v is a VIDEO stream. It doesn't contain audio. You must encode your audio to .mp2, and multiplex your .m1v and .mp2 together, to create a .mpg.

thanks bud, I was so impressed with the quality of the video output. These boards have been so helpfull too, you guys are awesome.

Re: Guide to convert DVD to KVCD
 

First I want to thank you very much for your extremely helpful guide. It has taken me from "WTH???" to making very nice quality KVCDs.

Is there a place where I can get a list of the "correct" maximum bit rates for the available resolutions? If this has already been asked and answered, I apologize for missing it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Drisanna and welcome, I always use the suggested bitrates min 64 max 3000 for every template! Check, http://www.kvcd.net/portal/articles.php?lng=en&pg=20

Thanks so very much for your prompt response. I'll set mine up that way and let it fly. :)

I'm having a problem with kvcd when I'm following this guide.
I always result in an 180Mb file. I think it has something to do with sampler.
Can somebody help me?
