DV to SVCD problems..32 to 16 bit colour?

[nsdn]

This seems to be the last thing to master.

I have used CCE to make GREAT DVD rips to SVCD...can't tell the differance.

Yet I capture DV footage to disk and use similar settings to convert to SVCD and I see tiny little blocks whenever there is movement in the video.....I have tried both CCE (5 pass average 2500M/sec max 3400 min 500) and still see blocks....cce is noticably better than tmpge 2 pass same bit rate settings.

So why can I get perfect DVD-SVCD and not DV?...DV source quality is sposed to be excellant.

One thing I would like to try is flattening the colour....I notice that the DV codecs (I am using AVI_IO and main concept codec to capture but have tryed Premier as well) capture in Millions of colours...I wonder if this means its is 32 bit colour?...anyone know?...I wonder if I converted the colour to say 16 bit (which u would never be able to see the difference) if I would get reduced macro blocks? Anyone know how to flatten colour?

Just a thought....very frustrating to see such great DVD rips but not be able to get to the same quality with DV....

anyway have any thoughts be greatly appreciated

Hmm... i´m facing the same problems, it seems. I wanted to use SVCDs to archive my digital video material that has been taking up a lot of tapes so far. I tried every reasonable settings with TMPEnc but as soon as there´s a slight touch of movement in the movie, the video gets blocky. Another pitfall for me is that most of the material i recorded is about moving targets, so much of the environment is moving too. (

Just wanted to revive this....still not made any progess...still get bazillions of tiny blocks on movement even with high bit rates...

Same problem. I've tried everything I know to do. It's almost very good quality but comes out to be OK. Regular VCD is almost as good.
