svcd to xvcd

[gringos]

can i reencode a svcd to xvcd with tmpgenc,thx

Yes you can do it.

No you shouldn't do it. You can't take a video file, re-encode it at a higher bitrate and gain anything! All you are going to do is make it take up more disk space and introduce more artifacts and macroblocks.

If you want a killer xSVCD then you need to work from the original DVD/Capture. A good xSVCD is VBR with a max of 3500, minimum of 300 and Average in the 2000-2500 range.

CVD gives better results while maintaining SVCD bitrate complience (an issue for some players is thy can't read a CDR/W faster than 2x, hence the SVCD bitrate limitation, whereas VCD is 1x)

my prob is i got this svcd file and i want to make a xvcd so my dvd can play it ,(my dvd player can't read svcd ),somebody ,thx

You could try the header trick which works for some DVD players. Demux the file with TMPGEnc, so you have seperate audio and video streams. Then remux them and set the type to mpeg1 video CD (non standard). Author the mpeg as XVCD and burn. See if it plays. The advantage of this way is there is no reencoding and thus no quality loss in the video.

Here's a header trick guide.
