resolution for xvcd?

[Bozo]

I converted Gladiator to vcd, I highered the bitrate a little, but my Dvd-player(Samsung m205) seems not to read vcd without standard bitrate too well. I stutters and audio is crappy with a bitrate of 1305.
I thought that it maybe accepts higher resolution than 352*240, now I wonder what resolution I should use?
I like to fit my movies on 2 cd then how would I know the filesize for xvcd with standard bitrate but highered resolution?

I'm thankful for all answers.

Had the same problem with the Samsung M301, I did a Capture at a very high bitbitrate with VirtualDub Capture, picture came out great, ran this AVI fil through TMPGEnc with the "Standard" VCD template, nothing fancy, played back the MPEG on my PC, again looked great, burned with Nero, played back on my JVC Portable, would not play on the Samsung....thsi Samsung will play back standard VCD as will as SVCD, will not play XVCD or XSVCD formats.

Thanx man! U didn't try to higher the resolution only?

[Bud]

No,, will try to a little bit more on this later....ran into a whole bunch of "Honey Dues" ...........will report back later on how it went, not sure why Samsung wnats to act this way,......

What's "honey dues"?

[BerrantRyke]

"Honey Do this, and Honey do that..."

I see, thank you for the translation my american friend.

[Bud]

Yep that it...execpt...if you see I spelled Do's with Dues, that because I used up all my DO's so they all became Dues............

I got the same Samsung M301 and found the way to play XVCD format. You need to burn your XVCD (Nero!) not as a non-standart VCD but as a standart SVCD. it works fine and I even managed to play on my Samsung xvcd clip with bitrate ~2500kbit/sec

i forgot to mention about pressing "Turn off standart compliance and continue" button. I guess you can get the same result by unchecking "Create standart SVCD" box (but i didn't try).

[Bozo]

Strange, when I try to burn a xvcd as standard in Nero5.5 I get a message either to turn standard compliance off or to re-encode the file.

[Bozo]

ÖÖhh! Sorry I read wrong.
I've already tried to turn standard compliance off, It didn't work but I have a Samsungm205.

Can your Samsung play standart SVCD?

[Bozo]

My samsung m205 plays svcd, xsvcd( the sample on this site), and also
vcd, not good xvcd.

Also the sxvcd goes for quality below the standards.


I've searched my old threads and found this. :D

maybe a late reply, but better late then never... hehheh
i alsways use 480 X 576 for my xvcd's and those movies are VERY good! for the bitrate i use 2050 bps, and then i get a file of around the 1.3 gig,so i think that's a reasonable size...

psst.. Bozo, just wanted to comment, that if you look at the VCD standard and my SxVCD (or SeVCD) they use the exact same settings, except mine is VBR and the standard is CBR, so how can it be below standard ?
