DVD to VCD problem

[c1steady]

I have a DVD with 10 esipode. Each episode has 14 chapter. I am able to rip these episode individually. However when i burn these DVD vob file into a CD-R, when my DVD player play the CD-R, the movies is jerky. Why is that so? Do you required different format file for VCD?

I plann to burn the DVD with 10 episode into 10 different VCD. How can i do that? Segerating the esipode is no a problem for me but buring VCD is a problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Each episode will have to be reencoded to MPG1 if you want VCD. VCD is not anywhere close to a DVD either in quality or in how it's made.

Use the guides on the left hand menu at this site to help you out. This topic has been covered MANY times.

Here's one guide:

Why do you want to do this?
If you're playing them on a DVD player, why not make DVDs?
Don't you have a DVD burner?

Your VOBs don't play smoothly because they're not meant to be stand-alone files. The other files that help the player to navigate the video are missing.

If your DVD player can play DivX files, that may be a better choice than VCD, and you could fit 3 or 4 episodes per CDR.

I reencode it into MPG1 but the quality is really BAD. The reason is original disc is 9GB. I can split into 2 DVD disc. However the menu will be lost.

Also ,My son does not know how to choose different episode. I will have 5 episodes with 14 chapters in each episode in each disc. So he does not know how to go to the 3rd episode.

Therefore I want to spilt theses 10 episode into 10 different CD-R without quality drop. I still have about 100pcs of CD-R left in my store. I wanna to use them

issit it possible to have a potion of DVD quailty in VCD if the file size is less than 640MB without any encoding ?

I want to spilt theses 10 episode into 10 different CD-R without quality drop.

"Without quality drop" = without re-encoding = probable jerky/macroblocky playback
if/when bitrate goes above 5000kbps (as already stated);

With some quality drop = with re-encoding = you will have to want to learn what/how to do.

If your standalone supports non-standard VCD/SVCD/DVD, you can create vbr MPEG-1
or MPEG-2 @ 480x480 or even 544x480. By choosing min bitrate=300kbps,
max bitrate=4200kbps, constant quality=70%, it is not impossible to place two, three or
even four "episodes" onto a single CD-R (each case is a case, naturally).

P.S.: I thought that 650MB CD-Rs were dead.

I would use DIVX files. Cartoons you can fit 4 episodes on a CD (most are around 21 minutes long) while Regular programs you can fit 2 on a CD.

goto a walmart or k-mart or sears or best buy around $40 get a divx compatible DVD player

its easy. pop in the disc and it will show you a "list" of files on the disk. you use the "up down" on the remote like you would with a DVD and hit play or enter on the episode you want. When its done it will return to this menu.

on a DVD you can easily shove 25+ cartoon episodes on a DVD at dvd quality.

mpg1 actually IS on the dvd spec the only difference between mpg1 VCD and mpg1 DVD is the audio 48khz for DVD and 44kz for VCD. convert the audio to 48khz and you can add that file to DVD authoring software without reencoding and it will accept it. Its a nice way of putting nearly 7 hours of video onto a DVD without having to make it non standard (IE divx etc..) ie will play in any normal dvd player menu's and all.

Until hardware divx became popular it was my favorite way of doing things especially since my TV tuner cards recorded direct to mpg1. IE max episodes on a disc. For "throwaway" content where you watch it once and discard it the quality was unimportant.

also a QUALITY encode to mpg1 such as with tmpgenc and from a quality source is a surprisingly watchable result. IF you use an SD television. if your using a plasma or LCD its not going to look so nice because of pixel interpolation.

either way hardware divx is SO stinking cheap now that its silly not to go with that.

Not sure how many Walmarts there are in Japan . . . . . . . . .

nerys - Seriously, the grave robbing is really getting out of hand with you. OK, it was marginally acceptable when you replied to your own post more than 1 year later, although it's a great question to ask why it took you 1 year to care enough to follow up with another question. However, including that I found 3 posts since Wednesday in which you felt compelled to reply to a thread that had not had a post in at least 2 months. You really need to stop doing that. We do NOT welcome such behavior. If I notice that you do this again, I'm going to ask the moderators to issue you a warning. I've never done that before for anyone, but this is really getting out of hand here.

You need to consider that if a thread hasn't had a post in months, it's probably best to just let it go. There are always exceptions and I have seen rare times when someone dug up an old post and added to it and the addition was useful, but that is rarely the case. Your post here is just an example of a non-useful post. The original poster hasn't posted since May 7, so he may never read your follow up. Most of the people who join here ask a few questions and then go away forever, returning only (sometimes) if they have more questions to ask. The original poster said that he was encoding to MPEG-1, so talking about doing this is just preaching to the choir. The suggestion to use Divx might have been a good one - FOUR MONTHS AGO. Please just let these old posts go.

Sorry. I was not paying attention to the dates. I just saw posts in which I could provide some information. I tend to get into "posting mode" to try and pay back for the help I get when people reply to me.

I will pay more attention to the dates :-)

@Jman98
When you say " We do NOT welcome" are you refering to yourself? Please dont speak on behalf of everyone here.

I dont see anything wrong with nerys comment even if it was made 2 years after, are you the local "supercop"? Was he spamming?

Leave the moderation for the moderators...

[nerys]

While I partially agree with you recardouk I also understand others points of view. If you have a "subscription" to a thread and someone "revives" that thread months or years later suddenly your getting e-mails notifying you of this. when I did 4 or 5 posts some people may have gotten 4 or 5 e-mails on threads that they no longer have any interest in. Its also "poor etiquette" IE the proper solution is to start a new thread. Although I tend to only make posts where I may have a solution if it appears no solution was ever reached.

Either way its no biggie. I am just lazy about checking dates. Since these posts were the result of a search its east to forget that post 2 or 3 in the search result might not be from 2 or 3 days ago but 2 or 3 years ago

The one thread I had even forgotten I started. I probably moved onto some other forum or some other problem when a solution did not appear. one program solved that for the most part but when it started to fail on me it was again time to find another solution. I was just "SHOCKED" at how slow the other solutions. Autogk took nearly 8 hours to do what DrDivx does in 90minutes !!! Ouch Sure the results are pretty but on a grimy 13" screen its irrelevant

Either way I understand. I am just bad at "keeping time" online to me everything is the present.
