I am trying to capture with a Dazzle II using the SVCD template. I was told that while the bitrate says one thing it really is much lower. to fix this you need to raise the settings in the template from 2400000 to closer to 4000000. in order to then fit it onto a CD i changed it to 3100000 and i get 45 minutes. what i am confused about is the bitrate i am really getting as a result. when i run it through bitrate.exe i see a NOM bitrate of 3100000 but an avg bitrate of 1524?? this makes me think the bug is really in Dazzle and 3100000 really means something lower. so now the real question is a 1524 bitrate in SVCD better worse than 1600 bitrate in VCD?? the picture seems better but maybe i am just seeing whats not really there?
