Tried Everyting VCD Quality Terrible

[Fashiondon2]

I have a question about VCD recording. I have succesfully coverted a AVI to a VCD to play on a standard DVD/VCD player. The problem is that the VIDEO quality is very poor. I am uising VIrtual Dub V1.49 and added 2:1 reduction (high quality filter) and DIVX 5.0 for video/compression and 1150Kbps. Also full processing mode on Audio and 44100Hz conversion/sample rate. I am using TMPGE for encoding. I opened the AVI inforamtion for fps and it was 11.988 so I selcted the standard NTSC. The last step I used CDRWIN 5.0 to burn to a 80min/800 MB cd. If the FPS are as low as stated above will I never get a good quality VCD. What is the lowest FPS I should use inorder to convert and burn a quality VCD??Thank you for your time in advance and I appreciate any suggestions you have.

Once you capture to Virtual Dub, I suggest frameserving to TMPGEnc. Then before starting the frameservice, use the appropiate TMPGEnc template with Load option. Then "tweak" your video even more with settings provided in this guide. Then go ahead and frameserve.

What do you mean by frameservice and do I do anything different with Virtual dub. And I am not sure what aspect ratio to use.

Thanks

This guide will show you how to frameserve.

Thanks TommyKnocker for the help I am encoding now. I have one more question, if FPS is 12.5 how good will the quality Of the VCD ? Is there a certain FPS for movies I should stay away from??
