Kwag or anyone,

I know this is a brain-dead question, but it has become a real annoyance, so I thought I'd try to get an answer at the risk of seeming stupid.
With the resulting 352x480 mpg produced by Kwag's template, is there any way to get WMP to display it properly during playback? I.E, not squeezed from the sides. My DVD player seems to un-squeeze it automatically, but it would be really nice to see the correct presentation on the computer. (I really hate M$)

CyberMage, I doubt the joint-stereo is the problem for audio glitching. I tried all of the various things I could think of to get it to work on my Apex, joint-stereo, stereo, higher audio... even the standard TMPGenc template did the audio glitch when set to x480. Some players simply will not correctly play *anything* mpeg1 at x480.

I D/L A MOVIE FILE IT WAS SPLIT INTO TWO PIECES ABOUT
99 MEGS APIECE. JOINED THEM WITH V-DUB. THEN PROCEEDED TO RUN THE JOINED MOVIE THROUGH TMPEG WITH KWAGS TEMPLATE. 4 HOURS LATER ROXIO 5 DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE FILE AS VCD COMPLIANT. I USED THE TEMPLATE IN ITS DEFAULT SETTING. IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN GIVE ME SOME GOOD INSTRUCTIONS, I'M STILL NEW TO THIS.

UUUMMM DONUTS!

Kwag's template does not create VCD compliant files. You need to turn off the compliancy check in your burning software, if it allows that. I'm not familiar with the roxio software.
But your DVD player should still be able to play it.

[charliee2gz]

THERE IS A COMPLIANCE CHECK BUT THE SOFTWARE SAYS DO YOU WANT TO ADD IT ANYWAY? SO I RUN IT THROUGH W/ THE TEMPLATE IGNORE THE NON-COMPLIANCE CHECKS AND JUST BURN IT TO VCD?

[Scav]

Correct. You want to burn it as a non-compliant VCD.

hey kwag, just a note - tried your template out on my Akai ADV1150 DVD player and they kinda dont work, burnt samples from your site. The sound skips and kinda is off sync.

I know that my DVD player can handle XVCD and Variable bitrate etc.

I will do some more tests but after looking over your template I guess its because in your audio part you have the Channel set to "Joint-Stereo", whilst ordinary VCD = just plain Stereo.

Your template provides really nice quality though, I especially liked the Patriot Games sample, picture was nice and clear.

Hey thanks cybermage26.
Let me know when you change to "stereo", if your audio plays ok.

Thanks

Hi Deusxmachina:

Did you try increasing the MIN bit rate from 300 to 600?.
If not, use the same template, but change the output to 352x240.

Ok another notch on the encoding belt.....Just finished Moby's megamix, an 89 min bitrate intensive music video complete with multiple visualisations. This baby turned out to be 801Mb...Nero shows it as 840Mb...Audio was kept the same as the source at 192 kbps. I got it on to within a hairs breadth by enabling overburning. Never done that before........thought the plastic was gonna melt or something......This thing would only be good for cooking pizzas then
Btw - Can anyone confirm what is potentially harmful by overburning ??
Final verdict.....brilliant.... used Kwags original template cq 70 PAL settings.

hey Kwag, quick question...I wanna encode a dvd with your template and the resolution is 720x480. With the template settings at 352x480, the picture gets squished. The samples on your site are 352x480, but they aren't squished. How do you do that? Thanks again

BTW, I'm using dvd2avi to frameserve into tmpeg

Hey KWAG, I have an Apex 1100W DVD player, and it plays my other Vcds, XVcds, and Svcds perfectly. However, after using your template to encode Shrek, the picture is ok but the audio skips intermittently. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this, or does your template just not work with my DVD player?

THanks

Try increasing the MIN bit rate to 600. And read back more posts in this thread!.

hey kwag

for some reason tmpg doesnt like reencoding your samples at ALL.
It seems to be a problem with the audio. I tried just simply converting the audio and it does first 15 secs ok, but then screws up and TMPG freezes etc etc..

have a look yourself and see if you can reencode your video files again whilst changing the audio stream from joint stereo to stereo for me please.

if you have any success please post a sample with plain stereo for me thanks.

I would convert something myself buuut still got no DVD rom .. they dropped in price though so getting one this weekend.

How do I create up to 120 minutes of video on a single 80 min cd using Kwag's template but with the framerate changed from 23.976 to 29.97 in the template?

Hi cybermage26:

I just re-encoded the Mummy sample again. Just opened the file, re-loaded the template, and changed the audio from joint to stereo. No problems. It re-encoded correctly and the audio plays fine.

You probably can't. Because at 29.97 your file will be much larger than at 23.976.

What are you converting at 29.97?.

Just wanted to congratiolate Kwag on the most successful topic on this forum, the only thing to ever beat my own topic from a year ago, well, although I did close that topic

Keep up the great work!

I burned the vcd and it is not corrected by my player, but your clips play fine in my player. Are you taking movies that are 720x480 and making them 352x480?
I just realized something else, When i play your clips on my computer, they are squished horizontally. When i play my clips, they are squished vertically, to look like widescreen. This is probably why my dvd player wouldn't correct my clips, but I don't understand how your clips came out that way. The only setting i've messed with is the CQ! Please and thank you for all your help!

kwag,

Using Tmpegenc I just encoded tarzan.
It worked fine, plays in media player fine, but when i try to burn in vcd easy, before it will load the file it says 352 x 480 is not a valid resolution for (film).
It's right off the template.. what did I do this time?

Uncheck "Perform some MPEG compliance checks"

Just keep the thread alive;)

I'd have to say that I was not convinced that kwag's template would be any good. But then I thought, why not at least give it a try? So I did. Apart from the unpleasant increase in encodingtime (about 100%) I must say that I'm positively surprised by the results. And the encodingtime is actually not a huge problem either, usually I brew the VCD:s overnight and while at work. When it comes to dl'd material my [new] philosophy is that if it doesn't deserve SVCD, then I'll "kwag" it.

What would be nice to have is a guide that tries to explain CQ/size ratios on a number of 'model'-movies (fastmotion/lowmotion/animated/dvd-source/TV-rip-source etc).

Well, I'm happy...

Oh... And thanks for the templates,kwag!

Quick question:

The movie you are trying to do. Is it 16:9 or 4:3 ?.

Geeeee!!, thanks guys!. You're all making my day!

Take a look here for a great explanation on CQ, VBR, 2-pass etc.

It's a great read with an excelent conclusion. ( that sounds very familiar to the template )
