TMPGenc settings for best encode to VCD (to watch on TV not

[mushroom_95]

Wow... all the settings and concepts...

Could anyone tell me the best settings (for quality) for making a VCD mpeg1 rip from a DVD WITH INTENT TO WATCH ON A TV SET, NOT A COMPUTER MONITOR ?
SmartRipper -> DVD2AVI -> TMPGenc 12j (NTSC)

DVD2AVI -- Should I set the YUV > RGB option (Video) to TV Scale instead of PC Scale ?

TMPGenc -- Video: Aspect Ration 4:3 NTSC ?
Rate control Mode: CBR, VBR, or CQ ?

Advanced- Video source type: Interlace or non-interlace (Source being a D2V file made using DVD2AVI from a DVD rip)

And any other settings/or methods that would be helpful.


Remember I'm wanting to encode a VCD from a DVD Rip with intent to watch on a TV Screen, not a computer monitor...

Could really use some help on this one... Thanks !

Wow.. all the "what is.." and "how to.." sections....

VCD has fixed specs, so if you load a VCD template in TMPG, everything is done. Source aspect ratio depends on your source. NTSC/PAL depends on the source as well, if your TV play both. If you have a only NTSC TV....well, NTSC.
YUV to RGB depends on yout subjectiv taste. I use to select colorspace YUV.
Interlaced or progressive depends on the source too.

Finally I recommend to start here.
