I can not get a Good Quality VCD

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.

1) what is the resolution of your AVI file?
2) why don't u use 4:3?
3) are you sure about the 11.988 fps?
4) does your avi look good?
5) try making an SVCD in stead => better quality
6) Select CONSTANT QUALITY (and make the numer 100, in SETTINGS next to CQ) instead of CONSTANT BITRATE.

) what is the resolution of your AVI file? 352X240
2) why don't u use 4:3? Using TMPGNE or Virtual Dub
3) are you sure about the 11.988 fps? Yes it is as shown in Virtual Dub
4) does your avi look good? It is not perfrect but better than VCD. Does it lose quality when converted and burned??
5) try making an SVCD in stead => better quality Tried not any better
6) Select CONSTANT QUALITY (and make the numer 100, in SETTINGS next to CQ) instead of CONSTANT BITRATE. Where is this setting


Question : Is is true that if FPS is 11.9988 that the quality will not be good?

Fashiondon2:Why are you using divx?At bitrate 1150 it's already a highly compressed file and then you compress it again to vcd.So,there is one compression too much.When capturing,use some lossless codec,Huffyuv for example.
