I was lookin on net for a movie used a site called IRCSpy and well to my surprise there is a server swith a channel on thats dedicated to sharing KVCD movies I was wonderin is this even in the spirit of KVCD??

if u have Mirc click here to see what I mean

Hi andybno1,

We don't promote piracy, but there's nothing that we can do to prevent pirates and anyone from using our techniques
The same goes for TMPEG, CCE or any other encoding/encoder company.
And yes, I've seen ALL kinds of groups already distributing KVCD movies ( ShareReactor (now defunct), Suprnova, etc. etc. etc. )
Just go to google.com and search for "KVCD" and you'll see (currently) Results 1 - 10 of about 59,800 for kvcd. (0.11 seconds)
And those numbers (growing every day) make me ( ) and smile

The worst case I saw is a Disney movie released under emule by someone that is quite a big poster on the KVCD forum (or actually by someone that use the same nickname).

Pity, isn't it ?

And the offered Quality there is most worse than the possibilities of KVCD do provide The whole world by this thinks aha, thats KVCD so.

ah right never knew all that lol well only cause I never go lookin for movies normally due to bein on dialup but when u got someone who wants a movie an they bug u to help them I tend to give in to pesterin an thats how I came across it but I thought I'd do my bit an report it but hey.

There are a few release groups that strictly work with kvcd,i know piracy sucks and all but it does say something good about KVCD

How do you know it?

I always wonder why people bother sharing KVCDs. The ones I make play great on my own standalone DVD player, but depending on the resolution not all will play on my friends' players.

So even if I wanted to share with other people, I'd have to stick with the lowest common denominator to get it to play on the majority of players, but lose out on the benefits of higher resolutions, VBR, etc.

Plus I suspect many of them are created from multi-disc SVCDs and XviDs, so the original quality wouldn't be that great to begin with. Combined with the need to get them onto one disc as quickly and easily as possible, I don't think people who do this would bother with AviSynth or filesize prediction...
