Hello you, my name is Luciano, I`m from Brazil and this is my first post here!

First, my congratulations for such a great creation and such a great site!
K(S)VCD is the best!!

Well like most people here i`ve already tried out the guides and in fact, made a couple of kvcds myself but, as you may know, little questions or doubts could eventually appear!

I would like to tell you that i`ve made a search on the foruns before asking these but i didn`t find any direct answer!

So I would like to ask you, masters of kvcd, about those little doubts!

My initial newbie questions are:

Which are the best compressor filters (avisynth filters), i mean, that give you the best compression?
Which are the opposite? The worst ''enlargers''?

Is there any way to get rid of those greenish blocks, i think it`s called ''dct blocks'', that eventually appear in low lit/dark scenes?

Is it better to encode my 29,97 fps, INTERLACED source TO 29,97fps de-interlaced? 23,976fps de-interlaced? Keep it as it is?

If i want to encode my movie using the kvcdx3-528x480 template and, let`s say, the running time is about 136 minutes and i wanna use only one 80 min. cd-r, should i drop my maximum bitrate below 2500 in order to keep my CQ or this is not recommended at all?

Is there any problem using the motion estimate search(fast) instead of the high quality(slow)? Is the difference too high?

I would like to download the sample for KVCD ULBR but i can`t, i think the link is broken, is there any chance of somebody send it to me?

That`s it (for now)!

Thank you!

See you soon!


Luciano

Welcome in here Luciano!

Well first according to avisynth filters:
There is NO "best" choice as every source quality is individual, but the scripts provided in here do a very good job for general purposes, like in case of DVD sources the MA script by Kwag or in case of AVIs the optimal Scripts by Dialhot. So do your tests

Second, the framerate:
If you are talking about Hollywood movie sources, then you should use in DVD2AVI "forced film", by this the d2v stream comes out as an original 23.976 progressive FILM .... where it has been originally produced in.
Afterwards you can choose a 23.976 fps mpeg2 encoding, where a Pulldownflag has to be choosen!

I hope this helps.

Hey incredible,
i just read your post Interlaced/ Progressive...and what it means:
and thought it was very good!
I think it is one of the most questionable subjects over here and it surely helped clarify the things a little bit more!

In your post you say to not trust only in DVD2AVI statistics window, in the case of DVDs but in the case of AVIs, how do i make sure my source is interlaced or progressive? TMPGenc is a reliable tool to tell me that?


Thanks!


Luciano

The only efficient tools are your eyes. So do the same as for DVD.
(you can use vdub in order to open the avis and drag the cursor to see if you find a comb effect somewhere).
