How is the quality after converting/

Video q is exactly as original (as it's only a matter of patching a header), audio q slightly less, since it has to be decoded, then upsampled to 48 kHz, then reencoded (if you didn't do a 48 kHz SVCD to begin with).

do you have a aim/aol name

No.

I've used TDA for sometime and I've found out that it's shit. Normal SVCD's muxrate is much lower than DVD's, so the audio will go wild on longer movies. Now I use DVD-Lab, and it's really good. Just demultiplex, upsample the audio, and in Project Properties change Project Size to 480x480/576. Tadaa...

That shouldn't matter at all, as video/audio is remuxed as VOB?!? (The output from SVCD2DVDMPG can be separate streams)
I can't see why any DVD authoring app wouyld accept 480*480/576 as it's not a DVD standard (even if it of course is nice to have that flexibility!)

Yeah, but if you've just downloaded a movie and if you don't put it to SVCD2DVDMPG, then muxrate won't change, 'cause if the file is already muxed it won't be remuxed to the VOB files, at least not with TMPGEnc DVD Author.

[mats.hogberg]

So, if you take "any" SVCD mpg (with audio and video) and use it as source for TMPGEnc DVD Author, all TDA does is create an IFO/BUP for it, and rename it to .VOB and put it into a VIDEO_TS-folder?

I don't think so, but at least it doesn't remux the file (demux and then mux). That' why long movies get bad audio.
