DVD2SVCD: SKVCD CQ vs CQ_VBR, let's clear this up!
 

Which produces better results? My chief concern is image quality but I'd like to still get ~120mins per disc. I know, it's the whole "cake and eat it too" thing.

seriously, though, in one place I hear "CQ is best" and in another it's CQ_VBR. This is complicated by the fact that in the kvcd_lbr.ini the encoder is set to CQ_VBR but in several posts Kwag recomends CQ.

Also, if it's CQ, what paramaters should be set to what values?


Sorry to ressurect an equid.

Hehe he said "single serving friend".

Hi rezidew,
Welcome :)

You must have read some of the old posts about CQ_VBR :)
Please take some time and read this thread: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2073
There you'll find all the answers. It's a very long :!:, but the answers and tests are there :wink:

Two things..

#1) okay so how about "Motion Estimation Search"? Should I still be using that over "High Quality"?

#2) What about a(n) FAQ for DVD2S(K)VCD or a guide? Heck I'd even volunteer to maintane it. Great benefit would come from having a central location where versions are discussed and the latest practices. I'll even put it together if I have all the right information.

--Rezidew

If you use the latest (current) script for avisynth 2.52, it's better to use "Motion Estimation".Have you seen the guides already posted on the main page at www.kvcd.net under the "Articles" section :?:
They are frequently updated, but KVCD.Net is a "Fast" moving target, so it's hard to keep up :D

I agree VERY MUCH with Rezidew. I went to the homepage and didn't find any POSTS specifically for DVD2SVCD. I'm a HUGE FAN of both DVD2SVCD AND KVCD and would love to be kept up todate on new software, scripts, KVCD Templates, etc.

I have literaly just come across this and have only been using creating SVCD's and VCD (mainly from AVI files at the mo) for a little while using DVD2SVCD. So far I have quickly browsed through the KVCD articles and have not come across and guides refering to integration with DVD2SVCD so would find such a guide VERY useful indeed. There is an Itailian guide - but I don't speak Itialian!

I will continue looking through this forum; after all there are ONLY thre pages to it so far - what seems like a minor amount compared to what I have read so far!!!!!

hy Swin,
welcome to forum.
:)

i am a fan of dvd2svcd and more of KVCDs of course.
the new version 113b1 or b2 give lots of problems
when you use tmpgenc as encoderyou can
see tons of posts here and in d9 forum.
then is better use the last script form Kwag(is great)
and the progs like MovieStacker,ToK, the great tutorials
and guides......and a wonderfull help people here.
you will got better results,will be surprising.

just ask when you got doubts!
use the search and you will find everything needed.
trust me.
:wink:

Thanks - will search - read - search - read (repeat until dead!)

Just reading http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic....ht=newbie]this forum at the mo so hopefully it will give me a starter for 10.

Just as a pointer though - I actually using 1.1.3 b3 beta 7 of dvd2svcd that I tried in order to correct an audio synch problem. As it happened it turned out to be my standalone Tosh SD-220E and the way VDC Imager burned SVCD. Still this is a HUGE learning curve!

What to you mean . I must confess I am a little confused as to the number of templates available (please remember - I've only been here a day or so). And it would be nice to tidy up the templates page a little - the rest of the site looks great but the templates page is a little topsy turvy.

Many thanks on the welcome anyhow.
