KVCD: my First KVCD, is this Good or can it be Better?

[Takkies]

Hi, thanks for all the tips and guide here all over the place. With a lot of tips and quide I used a little combination with everything. So I don't know the settings anymore. But I am trying to look if it can be better. For better resolution and results.

In Bitrate I have 800 and VBV buffer 0

Is this correct. I just want a good KVCD

Nice avatar
No offense
Say, vbv buffer=0 is ok.
I would change rate control to CQ > push the setting button right besides it and aplly:
min bitrate=300
MAX bitrate=2300
CQ=depends
Depends on what is your target. 1 CD-r 80min?
So instead of going nuts with CQ values possibilities why not giving CQMatic a try?
It will try to figure out a CQ value for your movie.
It has it's own forum
Cheers

Not to be rude Takkies, but just because you must be awarnd about that : using CBR is THE WORST thing you can do (for quality I mean).

With CBR you are throwing out valuable space (with easy frames to encode) that could be used to improve quality when the encoder find some difficult frames.

You should use the TMPGENC presets for kvcd!

Thats Right ..
On still pictures and Szenes with low motion and/or low details you will waste much diskspace.
On Szenes with high motions and/or high details the picture will get diffuse, because there is not enough space(bitrate) left.
