Hi, searched around but couldnt find exactly what I was looking for.
I have a DVD quality .mov which is 1.3GB, is it possible to split this in half and convert to SVCD to go on 2 700MB CD's without having the res lowered to like 320? (its currently 1024x400 or something) As I see it, splitting it in half will allow it to fit onto 2 CD's, but, I want to be able to play it in my stand alone DVD player while keeping it in the almost DVD quality. Is this possible?
Thanks

why dont you make a dvd instead ?
but non the less - just because the qt file is 1.3 gigs , doesnt mean that you can nessessarly make 2 cd's svcd ..
they are two different compression formats ..
and qt could be any number of codecs ..
but svcd is mpeg2 ..

I dont have a DVD recorder yet as I am still deciding on what 1 would be best to get. The qt movie is just under 1 hour 45 mins.

then you will need to encode it at a avg. 1830 bitrate and split it over 2 cd's (80 minute)
you can use tmpgenc for this -- which also can resize your mov file to 480x480 and add the top and bottom borders - see guides to the left ..
you will lose quality though compared to the orig."Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems." - Rene Descartes (1596-1650) -
why not encode it to 352*480/576 so that if he does get a dvd burner or recorder all he would have to do is resample the audio and it would be a dvd compliant file?
Thats what I would do...as a matter of fact that is what i am still doing as I don't have a dvd burner yet but am hoping to get one in the future.

sure -- but that is not a svcd

It's going to take more than two CDs to span 1:45 runtime in SVCD format.

well 3 would be better - but 2 is ok with good quality source and encoder"Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems." - Rene Descartes (1596-1650) -
Okay so it would be a CVD...
