What is your desired output... avi, vcd, svcd, dvd?


Personally for my own SVCD's I cap at 480x480 MJPEG ( pic @ 18 ) and then filter and encode later.

Yup I do the same except I live in a PAL country (UK), so I use 480 x 576 or 704 x 576 PicVideo M-JPEG codec at 18 quality and uncompressed audio 44.1/16. I then encode using TMPGEnc to make VCD, SVCD, X-VCD, X-SVCD with the KWAG Templates downloaded from http://www.kvcd.net.

If I want the best quality I capture at 704 x 576 and then encode to X-SVCD MPEG-2 with a VBR (variable bitrate) setting, usually set to 2500 min and 5000 max. I normally set to 100% quality but you can experiment with this to squeeze more video onto your CDR. I encode at 704 x 576 to retain as much detail as possible and also I set the motion quality setting in TMPGEnc to 'highest quality' to avoid jerky and blocky video. Be aware that this method will take a very long time to encode! It takes 12 hours to encode 1 hour of video on my Intel 1.2GHz... If I am doing a standard VCD, I use 'normal' motion quality setting which means it takes 2 hours to encode 1 hour of video. The 'highest quality' will take 4 hours.

If I want to fit as much video as possible onto my CDR, I sometimes use the other method of capturing at 480 x 576 PAL and then encoding to X-VCD MPEG-1 VBR 352 x 240 NTSC Film with the KWAG LBR 3 hour template. This usually fits about 2 hours and 20 mins approx of full screen video. Even though I live in a PAL country, I can use NTSC if I like and the NTSC LBR 3 hr template fits a lot more video on my CDR than the PAL one!

To get the 3 hours of video, you need to use 16:9 widescreen format, which makes this template good for long DivX films downloaded from the net. You must set the output in TMPGEnc to 'keep aspect ratio' otherwise the video will look stretched, plus you will fit less video on your CDR.
