Better quality needed!!!

[like2gamble]

I guess I'm a newbie... have downloaded several movies from MIRC... wanting to put them on a CD.. I've used Virtual Dub to split.. not sure whic codec to use but I've been trying the DivX 5.0.1 codec... anyway, I use Nero to burn the file onto my cd but..

the picture is crappy... it stutters, hestitates, quaility is just bad.. ugggggggggggggg

any hints?

I've tried both Pal and NTSC , I used the Video_CD at nero, I write at different speed using my HP writer 9110i,

I've tried the guidance set here.. http://www.vcdhelp.com/divxtovcd.htm

it's stil crappy...

help!!!!!!!

Go to http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html and get this fine program.
Then use it to process your VIDs with maximum motion search, noise reduction and a sensible GOP and quantize matrix.
Once all your MPGs are looking nice you can use Nero to make the S/VCD.
Tsunami MPEG Encoder is better at making MPGs than Neros plugin.

Thanks Arwen ... like I said, I'm a newbie...

Wow... "Then use it to process your VIDs with maximum motion search, noise reduction and a sensible GOP and quantize matrix"... will I be able to figure that at the site you referenced?

S/VCD?... I've only got the freebie version of NERO... ideas?

Tsunami MPEG Encoder - is this a free download?..use this instead of nero?

Thanks

Those are simply options you can change in the TMPGEnc program when encoding your video. Those options shouldn't be hard to find, but if you're having trouble setting them/understanding what they do, try the help in TMPGEnc, or check out some of the various guides on this site. Most of those options are just check boxes, or you simply select "max motion search, normal motion search, etc..." it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Good Luck
