WOOfreakinHOO! In Sync SVCD's!

[SCB]

Followed Bilestyle's guide to making in sync svcd's with ffmpegX and it worked perfectly for both DVD's that I tried. One was a regular SVCD and the other was an XSVCD. Just wanted to say thanks to Bilestyle for the guide and thanks to Major for the program. One thing I wanted to know was if the guide will work for VCD's too?

SCB,

Are you talking about Bilestyle's DVD --> SVCD tutorial? Did you use process #1 or process #2?

Thanks,

SCB,

I followed your guide and made up till now about 6 SVCD's.
All of them are in Sync. 5 x Region 1 NTSC and 1 PAL Region 2.
No more problems and perfect SVCD's.
Just did a 155 minutes dvd, NTSC.
Got superb quality by changing the size "480 x 480" to the normal size that's on the DVD. Mostly 720 x 480.
Put the bitrate on 1800.
Also checked the Encode hi Freq.
Set Qmin to 5.
Movie is very, very sharp and clear. Like DVD. Brilliant.
Thanks to Major for the program....
Hope he will add the feature of putting subtitles in the movie for SVCD too.

Glad to see it worked for you. You're talking about this guide, right? (not the old one)

Yes, that's the guide i've worked with.
I got superb quality and 100% sync.
I have 3 files of 850MB with the settings above.
Hope i can overburn them on 90min or 99min.
I am doing one now with Qmin6 and 1700 bitrate to see what comes out now.
I had a message 2 days ago in the terminal saying that the save file allready existed. Terminal ask me: do want to replace [y,n,a]:
When in typed in :n and return, nothing happened.
Did i do anything wrong?
Terminal stopped like he was waiting for another command.

[SCB]

I've had that happen once or twice before a while back. Pressing "N" or "Y" does nothing. Don't ask me why. I can't remember what exactly caused the problem. Maybe the file you were making already had the same name of another file in the folder? When it's giving you this error, is the .mpg done encoding?

[Lolsmurf]

When he gives me that message the .MPG is finished.
When he needs to start splitting the file and create the disc images he won't. I had the same problem as you. It did'nt matter what i typed in the terminal, it just did'nt want to go on.

[SCB]

Just hit command (Apple Key) + period to stop it. Open ffmpegX and choose the options tab. Select the .mpg in video under mpeg tools. Choose postprocess. Select how many chunks you want. Author as svcd if you're using Toast.

Thanks,

Will do next time the Terminal stops.
Do you have any idea if Major is working on a subtitle option for SVCD?

Again many thanks to you all.....

I use TMPGEnc to make my SVCD's..considering I don't have a DVD Drive I really can't rip any DVD's so I just download them. I usually Decompress the Audio for the AVI because I heard that TMPGEnc cannot really process Compressed Audio really good not sure though, causes Sync / Audio problems..etc. So the file jumps from around 700Mb's to Almost 2 Gigs. Well Anyway I use the TMPGEnc SVCD NTSC Film template...unlock a couple of settings and Change the Audio settings from 41KHZ to 48 KHZ, 224 Bitrate to 192 and Stereo to Joint Stereo. With this method you can squeeze in a little more bitrate for the Video. The audio sounds good and the video is clear. The max bitrate I have made for a movie is 2570..movie came out really good. Just thought I would share this..
