AVI2MPG: SVCD encode not working

[techboy_66]

Using RC1, attempting to encode 42 min DivX source to SVCD (SVCD is selected in process defaults) but the file size is 1.4 gigs, indicating that encode is DVD. how do i fix?

Thanks!

What is meant here is encoding to SVCD RESOLUTION. I.e 480 width. The bitrate is 4000kbs.

What are you trying to do? Do you want a DVD with only that divx source on it?

I have some source files (TV shows) that were encoded in DiVX and I am trying to use SVCD2DVD as a one-click solution to convert them to SVCD (480, 2500 kbps), create a DVD menu, and burn 5 episodes to a DVD-R. Previously I had been using Canopus procoder to do the conversion and SVCD2DVD 1.5 to create the menu and VIDEO_TS folders, but while the results are very very good it is very very very slow. From what you indicate, SVCD2DVD will only do 4000 kbps, which I hadn't realized. So, it is not really a bother for me to use procoder...

Thanks for such an excellent program, the menu creation system, especially the "Align Vertical Right" is a godsend

ok. If you wait a couple of days then RC2 will suit you better. You will be able to load up the 5 avi files into SVCD2DVD and it will ensure that they will fit on the DVD.
