Kwag: I've had horrible luck in the past using bbMPG - buffer underruns/overflows, desync, bloated files... eesh. If you could suggest some settings that you use when muxing the video/audio streams, that would be most helpful. (IE., MPEG-1 vs. VCD stream type, etc.)

It's very simple. When you run BBmpeg, first click on "Add", then "Cancel".
That's to clear up the BBmpeg bug that bombs out when you try to open your video or audio streams.
Click start encoding/Settings/Input and output files and select your input video, audio, and your output file name.
The click on the Program Stream Settings and do the following:
Check VCD.
Check VBR.
And set "Forced mux rate (in 50 bytes/sec units): to 0

That's it!. Click ok. The other values should be left at default.
Here's my screenshot of what yours has to look like:

Excellent, thanks. It was the combo of doing both 'VBR' and forcing the mux rate to 0 that I don't think I did... probably one or the other, but not both. No wonder!

Hey Kwag,

Great, GREAT quality with the new templates!!!!!
Please, tell us more about your settings for these samples.
Did you use any filters in VDub, AviSynth, TMPG?
Did you cut/resize with AviSynth or use the source directly in TMPG?
Any secrets? :D Cause the quality is amazing! 8O

In a word: N.O.T.H.I.N.G :lol:
Just processed the .avs script without any filters. Used the templates just like the ones posted. I just finished "The Matrix" with the 352x480 template. The video stream size came out to 823,261KB. Too big to go in one CD.
But you want to see what it looks like? For the quality, hell, I'll just encode the audio now to 224Khz and mux it to go in 2 CD's :lol:
Here's a sample of what it looks: http://ns1.shidima.com/kwag/matrix-352x480.mpg (Video only. No audio )
Can you tell the difference from this sample and a SVCD??
I don't think so :lol: . Oh yeah, about half the size :lol:
Can't wait for my 704x480 encode to finish :lol: :lol:
Got 6 hours to go. So that result will be tomorrow.

Se'ya!,
kwag

5823 ha? :lol:

Just one question, why you deactivated the no motion search for bla bla...? it doesn't help anymore?

DaDe.

5823! AHA! You're the first one to mention that. Can you guess what it means?

As for "no motion search", deactivating it makes smaller files :wink:

kwag

Well, the 58 is the resulting number from adding the total days of february and april. The 23 was michael jordan's number in his golden years... am i right? :lol:

DaDe.

Interesting... it appears the new template is a bit size-unfriendly to DivX conversions, for those that attempt them. I did a little 100min movie, and it came out to 835meg, video only. Larger than 136min The Matrix! No changes to the template, 352x480, TemporalSmoother(2,2). Just an FYI.

Kwag,
I have downloaded the headAC3he but the extention is ".rar" What is it? how to install or it is a plug-in for another program.

Just for those people who are interested in the same program, there is a guide in "www.doom9.org" (on left panel click "The Guides" and "audio guides" and scroll down, you will see AC3 to MP2, there you go! However, this guide did not tell how to install headAC3he.

I'm not kwag but i can tell you this: RAR is a compression format like ZIP so, as Winzip there's a program to decompress RAR files called Winrar, it's easy to find in any search engine. By the way winrar has better compresion than zip but is not so popular.

DaDe.

syk2c11:

Get the newest version of Winrar, perferably 3... thatll help ya


tks

RAR is just a compression format. http://www.rarlab.com has the tool you need to uncompress it.

If you aren't scared of a lot of options, BeSweet appears to be headac3he on steroids, and is under much more active development. Guides for it are also available on doom9.org. Just make sure you grab the GUI - BeSweet via command-line alone is a bit daunting.

Wrong! :lol: Nice try!.
Hint: Look at your telephone :roll:

kwag

It depends on the quality of the DivX. If it's a little blocky, or you can see some very minor blocks on the DivX, you bet!. It will be amplified. The cleaner the source, the cleaner the destination.

kwag

Ohhhhh 8O that was a good one, i was very very close! :wink:

Very, Very nice signature!

Right now im encoding a vcr capture with the new templates, i'll tell you how big it came at night...

Saludos!

DaDe.

kwag,
do you do a full encode then break into two files if longer than 800? i haven't come up with an easy way to determine if it's going to be too long for 1 cd.

Result of "The Matrix at 704x480
 

It's done. The complete 136 minute movie. It's SUPER :lol: The video stream size is 1,302,091KB + 224,000KB audio stream will be approx. 1,526,091. So that muxes perfectly with room to spare in two 80 minute CD's. So the 704x480 should fit just about any 120 minute ( wide screen + IVTC ) in 2 CD.s
Wana look :lol: here's a sample: http://ns1.shidima.com/kwag/matrix-704x480.mpg ( soundless sample )
kwag

Yes. I do a full encode and then mux the video/audio in two parts with BBmpeg. Works flawlessly!.

kwag

hi kwag,

I'm still having major audio sync problems since I started encoding the audio with headac3e and muxing with tmpgenc. So I wan't to try muxing with bbmpeg but the guide (link in faq) says SVCD- should I change this to mpeg1 (under program stream settings) and keep all the settings the same?

thanks,
ren
do you run into problems when muxing with TMPGenc?
