There is nothing except resizing in your script, that's why it so bad.

I'm currently doing Catch me if you can also, and things are quite difficult whith a script, so without it I can't imagine !

See the sticky post in the DVD2SVCD section of the forum to have the last optimal scripts for DVD2SVCD. Things should be better.

I have used MA script also and same thing, bad quality. May be I am expecting too much from KVCD templates.

I have also tried DVD2SKVCD plugin to make sure that I am using the suggested script, same bad quality movie.

Is there any other setting that need to be changed for longer movies i.e around 140min and 175min.
