Oh and kvcd and kvcdx2 all resolutions work fine

Updated!,
Thanks

Sadly, KVCDx3 does not work on the Finlux DVD 510, all kinds of blocks all over the place, but no coherent picture

I stick to the KVCDplus 352x288 PAL templates, they work the best

Did you try creating a clip with the KVCDx3 MPEG-2, and burning as SVCD?

-kwag

No I didn't, for a personal reason: my girl friend has a Sony that doesn't play SVCD, and I like the movies I make to be compatible between our two players.

Her player actually accepts more Kwag templates than mine, so i'll try the x3 version there in a few days for your compatibility list.

I'll try the '3/4 DVD full' variant I read about tonight if I can find the time...

Mintek 1600 kvcdx3 does work on it (just tried mpeg1) I will probably try to see if mpeg2 work with my player

I tried mpeg2 for svcd, kvcdx3, and skvcd and they all studdered slightly during whole scene movement (like when the camera pans from one side to another.) It didn't look much better than mpeg1 for me (granted I was using tv captures) so I am just going to stick with mpeg1.

Hi Kwag,

JVC XV-S60BK

KVCDx3 Mpeg-1 = OK (little better than SVCD quality)
KVCDx3 Mpeg-2 = OK (same as SVCD quality)

Thanks for the note black prince

On SONY NS-400D:

I've just tested all KSVD plus, SKVCD, and KVCDx3 samples.

Always for this DVD players, we need to convert with TMPGenc, mpeg2 video files in no-standard mpg1 files, but all works fine !

KVCDx3 MPEG-2 NTSC 544x480

works in APEX 600a, 660, 1500.

Thanks Kwag!!!

But, I could fit 3hour widescreen movies in 2-cds only at CQ12.

I want to put this 3hour movie in 2-cds at CQ18.

Will try Interlacing.

Kwag, pl. suggest some sources for interlacing progressive stream.

TIA

Hi gopalkk,

Go for the 352x480 PLUS. That will fit your 3 hour movie in two CD's.

I've heard some replies referring to the Sony NS315. Could any of y'all who did the testing in the first place with this model test it with KVCDx3? Thanks, I'm thinking of buying this and KVCDx3 is the main template I use.

I have this Sony and am very happy with it. I just recently made a short 3 minute clip of some still photos and VHS capture from tape. It played great. Mind you, this was a very short clip. However, it appears to work. You might want to do what I did. I am very conservative. Encode one and take to the nearest Sears store and test it out.

I just run this "KVCD Version 2 Compatibility Test CD image" on my very new Finlux F-510 DVD-player and here are the results.

kvcd-ulbr PASSED
kvcd-lbr PASSED
kvcd-352x240 PLUS PASSED
kvcd-352x480 PLUS PASSED
kvcd-704x480 PLUS PASSED
kvcdx3 528x480 PASSED

All six clips worked fine and really have say that the last clip look very good almost dvd quality. Please give me some comments.

Hi ashibaka,

Try 544x480
It might just work

-kwag

Yeah, it looks like a few resolutions don't work on my player. The 720x480 test video worked fine, but I encoded a whole movie to 704x480 and it was unwatchable

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it.
