SVCD image quality

[radkid]

Hey,

Quick question here:

When i play an svcd i made in my player sometimes the sharpness around the peoples faces goes fuzzy when there is increased movement.
(i capped from vhs to avi with huffy, used cce to do 4 pass vbr then encoded to mpeg2)

Would increasing or decreasing the avg/max/min bitrates fix this?

TIA.

i am trying to fix simular problem. Not with DVD source though, those are perfect. I am having simular problem with DV AVI files, soccer game with lots of motion. Tried xSVCD but I got worse quality than SVCD?

If your source is DVD try dvdtosvcd great results! If DV then we need some help here!!!

My source is analog captured to avi using huffy codec...

I think my problem is a bitrate problem.

I beleive that Mainconcept encoder has a switch called "Allow Motion Based Compensation" to supposedly help those areas with quick motion, although I have never tried it on DV soccer footage or anything.

Cant hurt to try it I guess.
