Encode DVD MPEG-2 file & LPCM audio to KVCD using TMPGEnc.

[dianita]

I want to make a KVCD by using as source file one .MPG file, captured by Cyberlink PowerProducer II, from a VHS tape in EP MODE. The video is MPEG-2 and the audio is LPCM.

I use TMPGEnc (new version), but as you all know you can't import a MPEG-2 file into the software, so I use VirtualDub MPEG-2 to frame-serve the video & audio streams into TMPGEnc.

But the problem is that when importing the .vdr file, TMPGEnc reports It will have to do Inverse Telecine. Now what does that mean?
So, I choose the right parameters for the KVCD, and now hit Start, and then in the lower part of the screen I see that TMPGEnc is doing that Telecine stuff and need to calculate (i don't know what), and after that it will start the encoding process.

Now, I didn't wanted to wait a lot of time, so I unchecked the option in "Settings" (the one which says 24fps something..), so I hit again the Start button but in the screen appears an error window, (i don't remember the text on it) because I was on another PC. IT also says something about a 'ntdll.dll' file.

So, what I'm asking is how to reencode a MPEG-2 file with LCPM audio, using TMPGEnc without doing that inverse telecine, and what does that term means?

Inverse Telecine
Inverse telecine (IVTC) is when a codec takes a 29.97 frames per second interlaced NTSC video that has gone through the telecine process and reconstructs the original 24 frames per second progressive FILM video.

I personally wouldn't use the KVCD format, but whatever works for you.

Why LPCM audio? That takes up a lot of space that would be better used by increasing your video bitrate. If KVCD can use AC3, that would be more compact. You could convert it with ffmpeggui.

The rest I'll leave to someone else, I don't really do VCD formats.

EDIT: I don't think VCD can use AC3, but mpeg-1, layer II audio should work better than LPCM.
