KVCD/KSVCD Question

[markusb]

I have a movie to encode that is 75 minutes long. Can I fit this onto one cd-r using the kvcd settings?

I have tried to work this one out but the bitrates I get always turn red in the window (indicating they are too low)

Does anyone know the correct settings for this?

cheers

You can store on a 700MB CDR media about:

VCD Preset: 80 min of video at near-VHS quality
CVD Preset: 52 min of video at near-SVHS quality
SVCD Preset: 45 min of video at near-DVD quality
KSVCD Preset: 63 min of video at near-SVCD quality
KVCD Preset: 108 min of video at near-VCD quality

You can store on a 4GB DVD media about:
DVD-hi Preset: 145 minutes of video at DVD quality
DVD-lo Preset: 4 hours and 10 min of video at near SVCD quality
KDVD Preset: 5 hours of video at near SVCD quality

The bitrate coloring currently assumes normal Q Matrix is always used, so you can ignore it for KVCD.

Thanks again Major. The quality of your support for this product is amazing!!

tried default settings, and picture size and aspect was all wrong and the mux failed.

What should the actual settings be for say, 16X9 pal original into KVCD and what should it be muxed as?

The picture size is correct. You should see it on a TV, and the aspect will be correct. About muxing, there are indeed situations where the muxing can fail. Try to mux again with the "Mux as.." tool, using either XVCD or generic mpeg-1 profiles. I'll also improve the muxer in 0.0.8d.

Ok thanks major, I'll give it another try...

I think I tried all the mux options, but I'll try it again and see what happens...
