Cannot burn video with m2v extension?
 

That's what a forum is for. To help me I hope. So please need help. I am one of those Noobs again.

I just tried to encode a bit using template KSVCD 352*576.
First i was just looking for a normal kvcd 352*288 but i have all those
KVCD-CQ or KVCD-LBR.

After that it encode into a m2v extension. Why my nero or vcdeasy can't burn or even read this at dragging and dropping it when i want to burn?

:( :(

Because a .m2v is a video stream only, and doesn't contain audio.
Go to www.kvcd.net and read some of the guides on the right side ;)

Like kwag.

If you don't need audio, I don't know why :D , you put the movie in the MPEG-tools of TMPGEnc and join it in merge & cut and set to Super.VCD(VBR) and press run. Now you can put the Video in VCDEasy oder Nero.

oke, thanks.
i just thought in the guide it says after encoding just burn in nero. I shall read again. If i still can't get it. I will re-ask if you don't mind.

PS. what's the time of encoding a normal movie. is 6-8 hours normal ?

The encoding all depends on:
1) Which/what filter(s) you use.
2) Your processor (CPU).

I use a PIII-550 and do movies on 544x576 or above with lot's of filters.
My encodings take more than 15hours...
You see it all depends.
GREAT avatar :D

thanks rds, 15 hours. That all for a movie. Wow. I just found out a simple instruction at dvdrhelp

http://www.dvdrhelp.com/forum/userguides/84759.php

Just to make a template. It's easy but is it good ? It works with me but is this the right way ?

For sure, don't expect to have good results with this method.

They explain you how to put a movie in VCD res and 1150 MAX video bitrate.
WIth KVCD you can put the same movie in 544*480 with 2300 MAX.

According to you, what is the best ?

Wow you are very patient! :
What is the quality like, must be good?
Would you like to post a short sample here?
http://www.yousendit.com/default.aspx (just input your email then they send you the link-handy for hosting samples and such-100 d/l max.)
I have to see a peice of the 15 hour encode! 8O

Quality has NOTHING to do with the encoding time.
I can give you scripts that encode into 24h on a 3.2GHZ P4 with a result even my blind gran'ma will call crap.

lol, but you know what I mean.
I wouldn't expect him to be using a shit script know woould I, Would you?

I see the point Dialhot. But my problem is time. I really want a good average quality but in short time. All I want is to encode easy to watch movies. Later on I want to buy those movies when the real DVD is getting cheaper. So it's like a preview to watch the whole movie and see if it's oke to be collect in my dvd collection.

You got a link for a template KVCD pal. An easy one with nice quality but also short time.

And is it really better to encode the audio and then mux it with the m1v

Thanks really :lol:

Were is your answer smart guy?

I really have to answer ? Okay...

I won't never use such a script. But it's because I know how to do scripts, and what to put in them... do you ?

(sorry the the tone but you asked for an answer...)

@tickey & Dialhot,
Hi guys,
Don't you go make an argument out of what doesn't even deserve too much attention.
You see, I use Avisynth's 2.5x Optimal Script by Kwag.
And the encoding time I gave you is for a 704x576 SKVCD shooting encode in TMPGEnc.
It's just that with so many things occupying my PC's CPU which BTW is already very outdated,
TMPGEnc doesn't walk: it crawls...
Anyway that's why I'm moving to MEncoder because I am now more interested in KDVD and because
it's way faster than TMPGEnc although it's very hard to tweak it's settings for the time being.
See, no reason for arguing :lol:
Cheers

PS-I can't help it: hey Takkies, nniiiiiice avatar :lol:

Don't you have cold showers in Portugal ? :-D

:lol:
I've been just kidding with Takkies :)
I've got what I need right here at home :wink:
I was just teasing he/she.
Man in the end that could even be a pic of his girlfriend/sister :oops:
No hardfeeling Takkies :?:
Cheers

Be carreful : that can either be the picture of... a man ;-)

Hmm :?
Coming to think of it you're right :!:
Nowadays we can't be sure of anything in that particular department.
Does "Roberta Close" name rings a bell :?:
Hell, I'd be fooled like an 18 year old teenager 8O
Thanks for reminding me of that, Phil.
Cheers

8O
:rotf:

if is a girl...i love her.... :angel:
is is a man...i hate him... :angryfire:
but if is a "roberta close".....let me out of here cos
i don't like anything in that particular department. :bawl:

:lol:

my point is your answer was stupid and sarcastic.
Any body can put a shit script then encode for 24 hrs.
It was sarcastic and over the line and you had no good reason to answer that way.
Perhaps you were in a bad mood and said to yourself "Let me attack this guy"
Well that is unnacceptable were I am from.
You could offer something constructive but your chose to condesend -I don't appreciate that.
And if this wasn't such a great board many nice and talented people I would have a some very choice words for you, but I will leave it at this.

Trust me if you want but some people can't do ANY script that encode. Goodor bad... They just have errors, errors, errors... That's normal and that's surely not a shame for them.

For sure it was. As was your post "Were is your answer smart guy?".
How was I supposed to receive that ?

As I told : you asked for a answer, you receive an answer ! Not happy with that ? Just don't ask the next time !

I am still free to answer when I want to answer no ?

I have reasons that you don't know, that's not the same. The same reasons I had to NOT having answered to the previous post.

Not at all. Always the same mood, anytime.

I can live with this. As I told just above : I'm free to answer when I want to; I'll add : I'm free to answer WHAT I want to !

That's a big diff between you and me : I use to post A LOT, to help people A LOT, to answer A LOT, to spent A LOT of my time here just for that, but I NEVER use "some very choice words" for anyone. That's what "talented people" do, don't they ?

I was referring to your first answer, sarcastic, silly and unconstructive.
You can try to justify it to yourself by" hey I post a lot and help alot" but ocassaionally I will be a useless sarcastic ass.
Well if that is yourr game, so be it.
Yes you help a lot, talented people dont post useless sarcastic posts.

Come on guys.
You're not being very reasonable to the rest of the board. :wink:
Should keep it to yourselves.
There is such a thing as PM feature on the forum. 8)
I'm only sorry that you're arguing about some nonsense I posted. :oops:
As I said we should all blame my PC's CPU and the rest of the zillions of software I have running at the same time. :wink:
Cheers

And why do you thing I didn't answer before you asked for it ?
Hummm.... ? :screwy:

Let resume :
1/ there is a post
2/ I have nothing constructive to say, so I don't answer
3/ you asked : "where is your answer ?" with a VERY sarcastic tone
4/ I answer with the same tone
5/ you are ashamed and just respond "if you don't have anything constructive to tell, don't post !"

:banghead:

@rds
Don't worry pal, when it's time to go to PM, I go to PM. And now it's just time... to stop that's idiot joking story.

Reread the post. Carefully.
Your summation is incorrect.
Wrong Again smart guy.
Read my post to rds_correia, then you responded with your useless silly comment.
Perhaps you reading comprehension skills are suffering. But I posted here below to help you along.

There is the proof for everyone to see.
You are Just plain wrong.
Now You can be a good and decent man and apologize or ....

or.....
Takkies and that great avatar don't came back?

serious:
ok boys (i'm old and can call you boys) :cluebat:

don't forget:
the forum need's you and your precious wise !
together you have big power to teach.
don't feel bored...don't bore yourself! :grenade:
(did you understand this emoticon? )
.....

think in good things like: (kiddin again)

Takkies, that avatar is your real photo?
if yes, :logfile: and pm to me your phone!
:wink:

Don't worry Jorel, I won't fight againt newcomers with 40 messages telling me how to post, what to post and when to post. I just leave the board. Definitively.

Well done man.

Bye.

Note for tickey: some peoples here think that the more you have filters in your script, the better is the result. So my post WAS constructive and not useless. But for sure, your youngth on this board didn't allow you to notice that. It's sad for all the community.

Poor Jorel .... as you see "SHE" is living in PAL land, now ... who lives nearer to her??? You or me?? :D :arrow: :lol: :arrow: 8)
So Jorel start your Aicraft-engines. :lol:

what?

you're really lucky ink.
:wink:

and the worse, i don't have aircraft...only an old bike!
and is broken...
:bawl:

but SHE (if she is SHE) can send me passages!
:lol:

:?: Whats wrong in here?
Why did some threads change into provocating/defensive ones?
(meant generally)

yes ink.....i'm :( too!

This post has gone terribly off-topic and is developing into a bit of a flame war. Come on guys let's just try to get along. :D

@ tickey

To be honest I think you have over reacted slightly here and im not trying to offend you. In response to this quote:

You said Quote:

"Wow you are very patient! :
What is the quality like, must be good?"

and all that Phil (Dialhot) said was:

"Quality has NOTHING to do with the encoding time.
I can give you scripts that encode into 24h on a 3.2GHZ P4 with a result even my blind gran'ma will call crap."

Which to be to me was Phil simply stating a fact that just because a script can take 24Hrs to encode doesnt necessarily mean that it will be of better quality of a script that takes 4 hours to encode.

Phil has helped me and countless other newbies and always showed great patients in answering my questions when I knew nothing about KVCD and KDVD (I still know next to nothing now really lol. :P :D).

Lets just forget about this pointless argument and be friends eh? :D

Been away for a while....wow. What off Topic.

Did I get my answer. Because of all this those last 2 pages seems not even close to my question. Anyway, very funny you all :lol: :lol:

:wink: :wink: I love it here

@Takkies
Hi. Just stick with us and you'll see how fun this can be.
Hope you didn't take any of my postings personally/seriously.
As I've said I was just teasing you about your very cool avatar.
If I did, please accept my apologies.

@Jorel & Inc.
It seems this is all my fault because I didn't explain myself in that specific sentese of my 1st post.
But believe me that everything I said is plain true.

@Tickey & Phil
Please stop posting addressing each other.
This is only making me feel bad because it's all because of that nonsense I wrote.
I swear I never had the intention of producing this "war of posts".
In the end Takkies is right (who ever she/he is): we haven't given her/him the help needed.
And that doesn't seem like us in the 1st place.
Please forget about all these posts.
Let's just help Takkies instead.
I'll try to take the 1st step forward here.
Cheers all

Hi Takkies,
It's me again :wink:
I'm going to take some aspects for granted like:
- Your PC is running WinXP/2000
- Your PC is a P4
- You are using latest TMPGEnc
- You are using Avisynth scripts and loading these into TMPGEnc templates written by Kwag

If all this is true (or at least most of it) than 6-8 hours could be okay.
But it is very subjective saying this without knowing every little step you did in order to encode, what PC you have, and how long was your source.
So could you give us some more info?
That way we could give a more accurate answer :wink: .
Cheers

It all went well now. I am seeing the results and it's cool on just one cd
Thanks for all. I'll keep on looking here to learn more
Thanks RDS

You might be right.
I may have overreacted but I still did not appreciate the nature of the first remark. To me, it insulted my Intelligence and I don't appreciate it.

However I should have left it alone. By not leaving it alone and posting were is your answere smart guy I guess I was looking to have it out.

That was my mistake and I apologize to you Phil 100% for that.

Furthermore it was never intention to have Phil leave the board. I could not forgive myself if I as a new member here had caused the departure of a seasoned expert.
If Phil is intent on leaving then let him stay and I will leave.

Or he can accapt my apology and we can forget all about it but that choice should be Phil's.

Hopefully he will post here his thoughts on the situation.

I also apologize to all members of this board for causing trouble.
That was not my intention. This board has been a great help to me and thousands of others and Phil is one big reason for that.
