7500 AIW with MMC 7.6 to (S)VCD question
I am a newbie to this, but have searched these forums and read the How To's already.
I just got a ATI Radeon 7500 AIW. What I want to do is capture 60 minute TV shows and burn them to 1 CD as VCD or SVCD. The VCD preset in MMC 7.6 just plain sucks. I have tried the "how to" listed here, but that was written for 7.1 and there must be a setting change, because Nero balks at it as being non compliant. Burning it anyway does not give me video. Using TMPGEnc to convert it fixed the problem, but the quality was real low. So, my question is: What is the best way for me to get a 60 minute TV show on 1 CD as VCD or SVCD.
I have been using DVD2SVCD for a couple months now and LOVE it. It is nice and easy and the bitrate tab shows that I can get SVCD of 60 minutes on 1 CD. Is there any way to capture with MMC and then use DVD2SVCD to convert it to cue/bin files? It is using CCE for the encoding, so I guess I can try and use that manually, but have not figured out how yet. Is there an AVI2SVCD or something that is similar to DVD2SVCD? Disk space is not an issue for me. Time is, but I could build another PC to make that a non issue as well.
If my best bet is to use the "DVD" preset in MMC (about 2.6 gig for 1 hour) and then use TMPGEnc or CCE to encode to MPEG2, does anyone have a good template they are using for this exact thing? I'm sure I can't be the only one using MMC 7.6 for this exact thing.
Thanks for any and all help.
