What is the best setting to burn a movie?

Try burning at 2X or 1X just to be safe. If you burn at a high speed probably above 4X your media will be played back badly.


Hope that helps!!!

I didn't write this, so don't yell at me. This is a direct quote from the creator of DVD2SVCD.
"A recorder capable of a maximum speed of 24x is optimized for recording at this speed. Recording at lower speeds means that the recording process lasts longer, thus generating more heat, which lowers the quality of the final cd and stresses the drive.
On the other hand, a drive of lower quality may not perform well at its maximum speed due to a number of reasons. Bad design resulting in mechanical instability when the blank cd rotates at 24x may be one.
To summarize, a quality drive will not have any problem operating at its highest speed, using a media which allows such speed. On the contrary, its maximum speed is also the optimal one. However, a drive of lower quality may show an erratic behaviour, obliging its user to select a lower speed, especially for audio cds, VCDs and SVCDs."(quoted from this place. Here and here you can find some more technical examples, showing that using a certified media the average number of C1 decrease while using higher speed).
Thus, if you have burned faster and have any problems please try again at a slower speed. If you are new to DVD2SVCD always make your first SVCD's burnning at 4X. Next time, try 8X, and then 12X, and then... until you are certain that you have reached the highest speed allowed by your drive/media/computer with no problems with the SVCD's.
Be sure that you have been warned that burning at any higher than 4X can and does cause playback problems for some people."

I have the TDK VeloCD321040 and I burned a couple VCDs at top 32x speed and they play fine. Just use media that is rated for that speed.
