Help with the tmpgenc vcd templates on this site

[StoneColdWhat]

I've tried encoding with the Sefys SxVCD,SeVCD and the KVCD codec, yet when I try to load the file I encoded with nero. It says the this is not a vcd file blah blah nero will convert this before burning blah blah. What am I doing wrong ?

Not using a standard VCD spec.

[teegee420]

Uncheck "Create a standard compliant CD" in the compilation properties.

ah teegee comming to my rescue again I'll give that a try tomorrow. say this is my dvd player http://www.tatung.com/tv/dv-668.htm do you think it can play kvcds and the other one I mentioned earlier ?

[teegee420]

No guarantees but I'd take my chances and give it a shot. I checked the KVCD.net Compatibility List and it wasn't on the list, but that doesn't mean it won't work. There's only one way to find out for sure, dude.

Yo teegee any idea why a 82 min vid turns out to be 820 mb with SeVCD NTSC (MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CQ_VBR 100, Layer-2 48000Hz 224kbps) template ? Its too big to burn.

That's the problem with CQ mode. You get unpredictable file sizes. Use a lower setting.

or use cbr or vbr instead.

A CQ of 100 is exactly the same as doing CBR anf offers no advantages whatsoever. The VideoCD standard says that 1 min - 10 MB, therefore 82 min = 820 MB.

If I were you I would use 2-Pass VBR, with Average 1050, Maximum 1400, Minimum 700, or just use CBR 1050.

If you had read the texts included in my Templates, you would know that I do say you need to turn off the Compliancy Check in Nero for it to work
