KVCD Output is clearly unwatchable!!!

Right I can't explain this no matter what I do.

For a friend of mine he wanted 1 film 1 cd, and he needed it as fast as possible.

So I turned to your fantastic templets and since he needed speed it had to be 352x288.

So waht my problem? The quailty is caca.

I am using dvd2svcd as its very user friendly so my friend can use it easily.

I am also adding the line conv 3d as it increases compressibilty so much and is brilliant on vcd. But the quailty I am getting from your templets is anything but vcd.

I knew it obvisiouly a problem on my end so I am hoping you can pick it out for me plz.

Try a script like this and use file prediction to find the optimal CQ value:

Code:

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\mpeg2dec.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\GripFit_preview.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\blockbuster.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\legalclip.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\sampler.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\dustv5.dll") 

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\temporalcleanerold.dll")



mpeg2Source("YourFile.d2v")

LegalClip() 

GripCrop( width=352, height=288, overscan=1 ) 

GripSize() 

SpaceDust()

TemporalCleaner()

Blockbuster(method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=10, variance=.8, seed=1)

GripBorders() 

LegalClip() 

#Sampler(length=24)

Being a 352x288 target, your CQ will be up in the 80's or 90's.

no you see this is it.

I have a great script and all but there is some problem with the way tmpegenc is "seeing" it. It sees it all crappy and all.

I know this cause d2v files work....

However maybe I am wrong and making a mistake somewhere.

let you know

Right I am back

I am going to D/l a few of your samples now and see what you guys are really getting on one cd at 352x288.

But as a test I encoded a clip in the kvcd templet at a CQ of 80 with no filters then the "standard" vcd templet with tmpegenc.

The standard vcd templet, although a few(not bad) blocks on high watery scenes it clearly bet the kvcd templet.

Sounds like a colourspace conversion problem to me. Try adding

ConvertToRGB()

at the very end of the script.
