ok, TOOLMAN. what i do is:

open the divx file in vdub.
resize to 352 x 240(28 and crop accordingly.
use a smart smoother and/or any other noise reduction filters.
frameserve to tmpgenc.
load your VCD profile.
make any color corrections.
configure youre source aspect ratio.
SAVE AS...

personally, i think the noise reduction within tmpgenc is absurd. it rarely helps and increases your encoding time by like ten fold. and remember the GOLDEN RULE:

"garbage in; garbage out"

you can rarely make VCDs look more appealing than their source. hope this helps. CIAOski!

FYI: this procedure takes me about 4hrs to create a 2 hour finished VCD on my dual PIII 866, 512 RAM, RAID controlled PC.
