I have tried all the templates for TMPGEnc and the best was one I have been tinkering with. I would like a decent quality so I'll probably go with 24 or 23.976 fps at 1700 or 1900 CBR bitrate. Any other settings I should tweak? I would like to run these VCDs in a Pioneer DVD-RV31 player as well so the bitrate has to be I believe under 2500. Someone has posted resolutions that worked better with this player and I cant seem to find it. Could be that Im just tired and missed it , but I did do several searches and looked through the posts that I went into last.
