Which is better

Which is better to burn CVCD and SVCD the NERO or VCD easy.Thanks

[sitlet]

SVCD is better quality than regular VCD. you can burn them both with nero. im not sure about vcd easy, ive never used it. if you need more info, check out the left hand side of the page, there is plenty of more detailed info there

Any authoring software is fine. I use NTI to create all my SVCDs and VCDs but I know that for XVCD or XSVCD, it might be best to author with Nero rather than NTI.

Can do with VCD Easy too.

Better (like beauty) is in the eye of the beholder. Authoring will not affect the quality of the video, so it's strictly personal preference. I like VCDEasy.

The difference between SVCD and CVD (CVCD) is very small, at low bitrates CVD can give less visible macroblocks, and low bitrate is always a problem for SVCD/CVD. Another good thing about CVD is that it uses a DVD compliant resolution, You'll be happy you used CVD instead of SVCD the day you want to move them to DVD, coz many players got problems with SVCD resolution.

Are you saying that if use a low bitrate for SVCD, there will be a high likelihood of macroblocking? If that's true, what would be considered low? 1150 and under? 1500 and under?

Depends on the movie, fast scene changes and action require higher bitrate. Always encode CVD/SVCD at VBR.

VCDEasy let's you do chapters. Nero lets you do menus. I personally get less misburns with Nero than with VCDEasy.

[thor300]

Less misburns with Nero? I never had one with VCDEasy, so your problem might be that you let VCDEasy use Nero ASPI. I use Adaptecs Aspi drivers. VCDEasy 1.1.5.2 must be the most stable and reliable burner app ever.

VCD EASY Sucks! Nero is so much better.

Haven't used it much lately, but I'm with Zippy. I like VCDEasy. 8)

Sounds like we need to have a poll:

Which do you prefer to author your S/VCD's: Nero, VCDEasy, TGPEasy, I haven't authored a S/VCD in 6 months or more.
