[copymonster]

alright i got a panasonic sc-ht70 it doesn't official support svcd but it does decode it. im doin my testing on that sample from this site. when i tried it by itself it stuutered the whole ways through i have been messing with it and as of now i got the rate control at automatic vbr at 40 and i got a vbv buffer of like 100 or sumtin close and motion search percision at the lowest after all my tweaking it takes 10 second movie time to actual start to play semi normaly but still stuters ocasionally ok but it in real time that 10 seconds of stuter is about a 1\2 minute can someone plz help me get it out

peace out and thx

All I can say is you have to lower the bit-rate. If you have the latest TMPGEnc try using the automatic VBR. Check out your average bitrate, it shouldnt exceed 2400kbps.

I use the following TMPGEnc settings to generate my SVCDs. I watch them on my SC-HT70 and it seems that they work also on other standalone players.

As a starting point I took the "SuperVideoCD (PAL)" template:
Stream type: MPEG-2 Video
Size: 480x576
Rate Control Mode: Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
Profile Level: MP@ML
...

To remove the described video/audio stuttering I adjusted the following settings:
Video options
Bitrate: somewhere between 1900 - 2200 (I think the SC-HT70 should play up to 2400 kbit/sec)
VBV buffer size: 80 KB [important!]
Encode Mode: Non-Interlace [I think Interlace is also okay]
Motion search precision: Highest Quality [this is not important]
System options
Stream-Type: MPEG-2 Program (VBR) [important!]

Note: to change the standard settings you have to load the "Extra/unlock.mcf" template

Perhaps you can raise the VBV buffer size, but 80 KB works well.

Note if you have audio problems: I deactivated the AVI2(OpenDML) & AVI VFW VFAPI-plugins and used an external audio encoder (tooLame.exe) instead. Always check your MPGs for correct audio & video resolution before burning...

Happy encoding...

last time i tried putting into the mpeg II Program VBR it didn't work.....also i am not positive mine is the sc-ht70 it says sa-ht70 but i can find not one article about sa-ht70 and the sc-ht70 seemed what mine was. could that make a difference


THANKS ALOT!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

yep the MPEG II Program VBR makes it unreadable
