Hello Everybody.

Looks like this forum is to tell good experiences and bad ones too. Also is a good place to kill our doubts … for now I only have bad experiences and doubts with KWAG templates …
Here is what I am doing:
- I have a Pinnacle Studio DC10+ board that I used to convert my old VHS tapes in AVI files. For now I am doing a test with on 2 minutes film. With no compression this convert 2 minutes generate a 100mb files.
- I used the VirtualDub to convert this 100mb file into a 23mb DivX4 file.
- Then went to TMPGEnc and used the 704x576 plus
-Went to Nero and burn the CD ! Done ?

The quality was horrible ! I could not see the eyes at people’s faces !

The quality was light years from KWAG’s templates …

Looks like there are a lot of people here that was able to make good quality movies, so I hope that some one can give me right directions …

Thanks

Why are you converting your capture to DivX, as an intermediate format, to convert that to MPEG1
You don't do that Convert from your captured data straight into MPEG.

So, converting direct from the AVI generated with Studio DC10+ to mpeg will solve my problems ?

Do I need to use the fixCD too ?

Thanks for your answer Kwag ... I know that you are a busy person ...

I use FitCD for everything
Also, if you're capturing from VHS, most probably you have to IVTC your movie in order to encode at 23.976 with the templates. That applies to movies. Not home shot VHS videos.
