MPEG-2, 720X480 to XSVCD?

[RacerXRed]

Hi everyone, I am using Ulead DVD Movie Factory to convert MPEG-2 to XSVCD format. Conversion seems fine on PC, but when using my Sony DVP-NC655P DVD unit I get choppy audio & video. When I press pause on the DVD and then play the problem goes away for a second then comes back again. Any suggestions?

your bitrate is to high

your max Video Bitrate is around 3000 try not to go too near to that...

I am not sure where DivXerous got 3000 as a max, but if that proves to be true you should post your result on the "DVD Players" section of this site under your player name. There is no info there on max bitrate for XSVCD right now.

One way to check your max bitrate is to record some CDs with MPEG files at various Constant Bitrates (CBR). See how high you can go before your player starts choking.

I spent an hour and made 1 minute video clips of 2000,2250,2500....5000 and put them on 1 SVCD(CBR, fast action scene). This is handy for testing new players or friends DVD players. Low and behold my cheapo unit played them all! Since then I have bumped up the max on my VBR's, and a lot of movies I'd do in 3 CD I now do in 2.
