  1. My video captures are from my digital sattelite, but they are huge files. My ATI Radeon captures the video as .mp2 (ATI style of MPEG) I then us DVD2AVI to convert the file to .avi Then use TMPGEnc to convert for SVCD burn. My SVCD are great considering I have only dabbled in this video editing for about a week. Now I want to take it to the next level, what are some tweaks or changes I can edit to improve quality of videos? Mostly been using defaults that programs contain. Any help would be great.

  2. try cvd.........look into it you will get better quality (providing you do it right) and if yoy can plkat svcd then you shouldn't have aproblem playing it there is an article over ther somewher that will yell you <-----


    Why don't you capture as avi ?.........mp2 is already an encoded file(mpg) you are encoding on th fly ...you are redoing a process that doesn't need to be done ....yout going from mpg2(mp2) to avi back to mpg2....this equals qualiy loss...sorry for typos i broke one of my hands
    How long could we maintain? I wondered. How long until one of us starts raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then?

    Too much work, too much converting!
    Read the guide in my signature.

    Your SVCD will be MUCH HIGHER QUALITY than VCD if you leave the MPEG2 as interlaced.

    The MP2 files are just another name from MPEG2 (aka M2V, MP2, MPEG2, MPG2, MPG, MPEG, etc). Converting to AVI then back to MPEG2 was a great big waste. Sorry to here you did that. Try the guide below.

    Just use a bitrate of VBR 2520k MPEG2 480x480 interlaced for SVCD and then everything else shoudl pretty much be the same.

    It can kick out a good SVCD file pretty quick, in realtime (the TMPGenc field-order correction transcode takes place in realtime or faster). Quality is perfect as source or better if TMPGenc filters used.
    I'm not online anymore. Ask BALDRICK, LORDSMURF or SATSTORM for help. PM's are ignored.
