Quality on TMPGEnc

[Ewlesy]

I can't seem to find the settings so that I can split an avi into 2 mpgs, but with almost no or very little detrioration in quality. Every time I extract half of it so I can burn to VCD, some video quality is lost.

Can anyone help?

You may want to try these filter settings.

You can use the source range to encode half at a time, or use the Merge&Cut to split what you already have.

When using Merge&Cut you need to select "MPEG 1 Video CD" from the drop down list, However if you had a higher bitrate greater than 1150, in other words you had a XVCD then this streaming would correct that error, and reduce the quality.

You should always use a VCD template when encoding, that way the Merge&cut will not effect the output in anyway.

Oh and "These settings above" is a bad link, he needs to edit
