SVCD minimum bitrate ?

[iparout]

Hi there,

what is the best choice of minimum bitate in 2 VBR pass when encoding a SVCD in TMPGEnc ? (The original movie was ripped off a DVD)

I think that setting the minimum bitrate too high will not leave enough bitrate for the scenes that need it (higher bitrate I mean).

What is the best solution ?

Thx in advance.

P.S : Is there any programme that will show me a diagram of how the bitrate develops in an MPEG 2 VBR file or a DVD disc?

Popular choices are 0, 300 and 900. But it really depends on what your ave is and how much movie you're trying to fit on 1 CDR.
