Canon S230/v3, AVIs, MPGs, NERO, VCD, TMPGEnc

[gadgethead]

Hi,

I have plenty of AVIs that I want to burn to VCD. When I do this via NERO (drag and drop a avi to make a VCD), I notice that there is a drop in quality. Can I stop the degradation from NERO?

Now, I am trying to convert the AVIs to MPG using TMPGEnc (2.510), with the hope that when I burn to VCD using NERO, the quality will be fine, but TMPGEnc wont recognise the AVIs made from the S230. Can someone help me please!

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried raise the directshow priority in tmpgenc? and then open the avi.

You cant change any vcd encoding settings in Nero.

My Canon S110 dig cam uses an MJPEG AVI codec, and I assume your S230 is the same. Canon provides the codec on the original driver/software CDs. You need to make sure the codec gets installed or buy the $18 MJPEG codec from PicVideo below:
