Hi guys, I want to put several SVCD's onto a single DVD, I have been trying to find the required guide but cant seem to find it
Does anyone have a link?
This may seem vague, but in the guide I saw before, the GUI of the software used to upsample the audio stream had a green colour font? if anyone has this guide I would be gratefull
Thanks

Simple way:
Use svcd2dvdmpg on the SVCD mpegs, then just author with any DVD authoring app (TMPGEnc DVD Author recommended). Plays fine on most DVD players.
Hard way:
Reencode the SVCD mpg to DVD specs mpg and author.
For more info, use the CONVERT section left:

Thans for that guys
That was pretty straightforward, but I now want to go another step, that being, a multiple SVCD on DVD with a nice menu select screen
Again, I am lost in the sea of great guides, I have found guides for making an SVCD with menus, DVDs with menus etc, but I cant find the 'multiple SVCD on one DVD with menu' guide
It doesnt matter how complex it is, but freeware/fully functional software needs to be used
Any help is again appreciated
Cheers -
The info mats provided would work great and would probably be the easiest.
I have done what you are wanting to do with freeware. Extract the svcd mpegs from the disc using isobuster. For best compatibility you will need to re-encode the svcd mpeg files to valid dvd mpeg (I would suggest 352x 480, 29.97fps for ntsc or 352x 576, 25fps for pal and make sure to change the audio to ac3 48k) using software like super. If your dvd player is new enough and can play svcd files okay (check https://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers) you can then author the dvd with guifordvdauthor creating simple menus to choose which video you want to watch. Keep in mind that if you author the svcd files with out re-encoding them you run the risk of future players not being able to read the disc.
Not really a guide but in a nutshell will get you what you want. There are great guides on this site for using the softwares mentioned.Donadagohvi (Cherokee for "Until we meet again") -

If you click on any tool highlighted it will take you to that tools page. Look halfway down the page right below the changelog/version history and you will find all guides posted

Siggggggggghhhhhhhhhh. TO make it MUCH easier on yourself, get dvd-lab and follow one of their tutorials for authoring svcd unto dvd. Much, much easier than any of the methods that have been given to u so far. These must be pretty old vid's tho, xvid has just about completely replaced svcd.

OK, I am having a little difficulty here
My original goal was to put hours of footage onto one DVD (forget quality issues for the moment if you would) thats why I was going to go down the patched SVCD route

How do I do this? do I just use a lower bitrate when coverting the original Xvid?
I have seen DVD's for sale with 6+ hours of footage on them, comprised of several films, more in some cases, yes the end quality isnt the best DVD can offer, but at the moment that doesnt worry me
I feel I'm nearly there, but this is giving me a headache LOL

Secondly, once I have used the calculator to figure the bitrate, how do I work out how much space will be taken up by a menu?
Thanks again -
You are not only going the long way around, but crawling backwards and hitting yourself on the head with a hammer while doing so.
An Xvid-compatible player can be had for less than $50 now. Best quality and filesize option for standalone play is the source you already have.
Changing resolution and framerate, while also re-encoding, is going to lose significant quality while also roughly doubling filesize. Lots of work to get a negative result. -

I have gone from X-vid to VCD plenty of times using the KVCD template, and as long as the X-vid is good quality I havent encountered to much in the way of frame drop out, nor an overly invasive drop in other areas of quality, like I said, its horses for courses

Don't you just love how you ask for a freeware solution and people suggest either buying a $100 program or a $50 dvd player.
Someone may correct me but I don't think there is a minimum on the bitrate.
As far as the menus if all you are doing are still pictures it shouldn't matter much...motion menus take up a little space..
back your bitrate down by 50 to 100 kbs to allow for menus.
Check out this thread for some good info relating to bitrates and frame sizes. Specifically look at daamon's replys.
