HELLO MY FRIENDS.

1RST- WHAT I WANT TO DO IS TO CREATE A 16:9 VCD FROM A 640X272 DIVX. SO I HAVE THAT BLACK FIELD UNDER N ABOVE THE IMAGE N ALSO THE SUBTITLES ON IT, NOT IN THE CENTERED IMAGE, BUT IN THE LOWER BLACK FIELD. THAT'S WHERE MY TROUBLES BEGIN...
I AM OPENING THE DIVX IN VDUB, FRAMESERVING IT TO TMPGENC N ENCODING IT IN THIS 16:9 FORMAT. SO I HAVE MY 1RST VCD WITH NO SUBS ON. THEN, I MAKE THE SAME PROCESS, ONLY ADDING SUBS IN VDUB.
RESULTS:
----ALMOST 10 HOURS FOR MAKING THE FINAL FILE
-----LOSS OF IMAGE QUALITY FROM THE DOUBLE ENCONDING

ANY IDEAS OF HOW TO MAKE IT ALL AT ONCE????

THANXS SO MUCH

First of all, don't use all caps!

Secondly, who told you to do the double-encoding? You can do it all in one shot with V-Dub and frameserve it to TMPG or whatever encoder you use.
