DVD2SVCD for future DVD compatibility single, compatible, resolution, currently

andy

Hi,

One single question to the experts in DVD-R. I'm currently Producing X-SVCD with a 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC) resolution. Will the MPEG2 streams be directly compatible for DVD-R When I get a DVD-R burner ? I selected quot;DVD compliant quot; in the advanced CCE parameters.

Thanks for your answers.

Oh another thing while I'm at it. I rip DVD movies that are supposed to be 720x480 in NTSC and produce, as I said before, 720x480 Xsvcd. There should be no resizing needed. Still, I can't select quot;no resizequot; in DVD2SVCD settings (or I missed the option) and it apparently performs a resize during the process (I selected bicubic and it appears in the avs script and the log file). Is there a way I can tell DVD2SVCD not to resize at all ? IS this what I should do ? Do I have to edit the AVS script after DVD2AVI or Before CCE ?

Sorry these were several questions finally.

Thanks for your help.

Hi waldok,

just tick the quot;Edit when DVD2AVI is donequot; option in quot;Frameserverquot; tab and wait for the script window to appear. Then just delete the lines with the quot;Resizequot; and the quot;AddBordersquot; statement or comment them out by inserting a quot;#quot; right at the beginnig of the appropriate lines.

You can also use the quot;Edit as part of video encodingquot; option the only difference is that youhave to wait a little longer before you can edit the script - that's the only difference.

Hope this helps,
Gerti

I did it. THanks. Still I finally don't find the quality to be that great. The point is the movie I tried (THe others) have very few movements and is quite dark. Maybe that's why I found the quality so good. I tried 720x576 on a quot;fast movementquot; film and the quality was quite disappointing. No big surprise after I had quit logical and interesting explanations from some guys here about too many pixels to be encoded with too few bits available. Probably bitrate should be around 5MBits/s at least to get acceptable quality in all cases. and I don't want a movie on 18 Cds  

THanks for you help though

Waldok.
