noob to converting right here

[Sub-Zero]

ive been using DIKO to convert to SVCDs but y does it have to resize it? are there any programs out there that dont resize the video? also lately DIKO has been creating SVCDs that are just above 800mb and cant fit on a cd, even tho only the end is corrupted it stil annoys me. also appreciated if u guys have any programs that would suggest to a newbie

What do you mean, 'resize'? The size of the video frame? SVCD is 480x480 (NTSC) or it is not standard SVCD. If you mean the filesize, then that depends on the compression used.

Try DVD2SVCD. It's has many more options than DIKO, filesize adjustments being one of them. When I still burned SVCDs, I usually set them at 800MB and burned them in Nero as an image file. Never had any problems. If you burn them in ISO mode, you need them to be 700MB, if that's the size you are using.

by resize i didnt mean the size of the file, i meant the size of the frames like pixel size. and ill try the program u listed

oo i got another question but i dont wanna make another thread/dunno where it should go. i got the latest version of virtualdub and it doesnt have the codecs for avi files, this is the error i get:

"Couldn't locate decompressor for format XVID (unknown)

VIrtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decomopress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable."

i was on the virtualdub forums and there was a topic on this but barely anybody is on those forums so he didnt get an answer, how can i fix this?

there has to be someone that has at least heard of this problem

Install the xvid codec.

and yes diko must resize or it wont be a svcd. use tmpgenc or some other encoder if you want make custom mpgs.

AND please wait a few days before you bump a topic. this is no chat.

sorry about bumping its just that im a lil strapped for time and want to do this stuff as soon as i can, ill try and install the codecs

edit: now it says something about audio coeecs but its too long to type and the vid showed up, if the sound isnt screwed up then ill leave it alone,thx
