CD Images created by DVD2SVCD

[YoGotti]

Hey guys, i have a problem. When DVD2SVCD frame selection screen comes up (where i choose my preference of when i want the movie to start and end), i always will split the movie into TWO'S (two parts). On the other hand, when DVD2SVCD creates the images on the last step, it give me THREE cd images, instead of TWO. What options am i setting wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Oh yeah here's my log:

I didn't really study the log that much, but it looks like the final files were just a little two big to fit on 2 cd's with your bitrate settings. I got tired of DVD2SVCD making 3 cd's on longer movies, so I set the bitrate to (2) cd's no matter what the size of the movie. Look under bitrate. Change cd size to 800 for the whole column if you are using 80 minute cd's. Change cd number to (2) instead of (3). You will lose a little quality, but to me it was worth it not to change the cd's in the player 3 times. This problem is usually because the movie is extra long.

Thnaks, redwudz. I appreciate that, i will give that a look

[Ripper2860]

The problem may be related to the fact that the CQ level and bitrate are a close approximation determined by scanning and sampling the video file. Once it has scanned and done an analysis, it projects the required CQ and bitrate based on the estimated compressability of the file and the desired number of CD's. This is not an exact calculation as it is based on a sampling and not the entire file. While it is correct quite often, it is not perfect and sometimes a film will go to a 3rd CD.

Try lowering the the CQ VALUE FACTOR to .90 (ENCODER tab on DVD2SVCD) and set the % OF MOVIE TO TEST to a higher number (3-5%). The higher a % used, the more samples and the better the calculations.

Give it a try !!
