Best SVCD Quality?

[shin_zer]

SVCD Is really better than VCD? I get better resolution (480x480 using TMPEGEnc) but VCD Seems smaller, but looks better (No pixeling on action sequences)

What program or template gives best SVCD quality, with minimum loss?

What is your video source? (Garbage in Garbage out...)

TMPGEnc 2-pass highest quality avg 2500 kbps max 2500 kbps.

If you don't care about size, the highest quality you are going to get is 2500 kbit/s CBR.

(note: we had an extensive discussion in a thread before and the conclusion I believe in is that multipass encoding with the same max and average may well look slightly better than the equivalent CBR -- however, any difference will in practice be negligible).

That's why I recommended 2-pass max=avg=2500. If you have a crappy VHS source it can really make a difference, although I rarely use it because it takes way too much time.
