vcd quality?

[fitz15]

is it possible to increase the bitrate on a vcd to more than 1150kbps?

Won't be VCD anymore. Instead, clean up your video and your MPG won't need as much bitrate for quality. Of course, I am assuming you are encoding captured video, not a DVD rip. Most DVD rips are clean enough, maybe inverse telecine it to save a few bits (20%?).

Second opinion:

Sure, increase the bitrate, otherwise you need almost perfect source to get good results. Check your player and make sure it can play xVCD which is a higher bitrate, non-standard VCD. Then in TMPGenc, load the VCD template and unlock it. Then, change the bitrate.

I never use the standard bitrate and do most things in the 1500 - 2000 kbps range. Good luck.

im trying to make a standard vcd because the standalone i have will not except any other hybrid except vcd, and at a bitrate of 1150kbps the film has a lot of blocks, its a dvd rip that iam trying encoding.

hrm....if u must have standard bitrate/resolution

only thing u can do is to set motion search accuracy to high quality (slow)

fitz15,

what movie is this now?
* ...rip, did you rip it yourself? ...or by someone elses flaud rip?
* R da blocks constant or just in certain scenes?
