Blocky VCDs....

[Marxs]

OK i ripped a DVD and used DVD2AVI to make a project and used TMPGEnc to encode it to VCD. The video is perfect on my computer but when i burn it and play it on my DVD player at certain partz (mostly fighting scenes) get blocky and skipping. Is it my DVD player or how a i burned it? Oh BTW i used Nero 5.5 to make the VCD.

Try changeing the record speed to only 1 or 2 has made a defferance for me on all of mine. If do from TV or VCR i do 1 if from a DVD i do 2 no problem at all.

GOOD LUCK

so i should put the burn speed to 2x? hmm ill try it i usally use 12x cause i ahve the burn prrof CD-recorder

[tww1]

Yes try some DVD player dont like the high speed VCD'S some do mine didnt and some of my friends units didnt like it either.

OK thanks ill try it to be safe ill just use 1x cause im going ahve to leave it burning whike at work so i ahve a big gap of time. Thanks But why would the speed of the burning matter? how does that change a VCD? not as good of burn not as thruro?

What's your video and audio bitrate settings? If you use too high bitrates, the video and audio will suffer in high motion (highest bitrates) scenes.

Also, muxing video and audio streams with BBMPEG helps minimize choppiness but if bitrates are too high for your dvd player, you have to re-encode at lower rates. Or maybe just reencode the audio stream at lower rates.

I use the TMPGEnc VCD template and then burn it. Thats all i dont mess with the bitrates and shit.

Ok i just burned it at 1x and now its even worse and the sound stops for a second or two then continues and its 10x blockier but now at different parts of it... any idea?
