widescreen divx-svcd conversion with CCE

[sambucca]

using Virtauldub to frameserve and CCE to encode a divx to svcd, which settings should i use so that the result will fill the whole screen on a widescreen PAL tv?

right now, i am using tmpenc which has a possibility to change the setting into an source aspect ratio of 16:9 and full screen(keep aspect ratio). This setting works fine but CCE is a lot faster and apparently gives a better picture.

Can anyone help?

plz post video info

[sambucca]

640x272
23.976 fps
audio 192 kbs

anything else necessary?

i know i could use the settings of tmpenc in CCE when using vfapi, but i think vfapi does'nt work on my machine, i keep getting errors.

Virtualdub:
Resize to 432*414, expand frame 480*576; If your dvd player can play 23.976 fps, do not framconvert. Else change frame fps 25. Beware that ten you also need to frameconvert the audio, use BBesweet.

Tmpgenc:
load the svcd pal template, and unlock it and do the following changes
video tab: aspect ratio 1:1
high quality

advanced tab:
source aspect ratio 1:1
video arrange method: center custom size
432*414

save the project and convert it in Vfpai

CCE
do what ever you want, but leave the dar flagg 4:3.

I wrote a guide using Tmpgens framserving to CCE (norwegian) you'll find it [URL = http://home.hib.no/studenter/ing99fkt]here[/URL]

Try it with dvd2svcd (option avi to svcd).Attach the cce encoder and at the last moment choose aspect ratio.- 16:9.
It will work fine.

frotsen,

unfortunately, i can't load anything in vfapi, it keeps on giving me errors..:(
i have no clue why

[frotsen]

Since I you did'nt give any error description. You may wanna try a few things:

Tmpgenc: double klick on TMPGEncVFP_Install.

VFPAI: double klick on vifpset file
right klick-> install on the vifp.ini.


PS. You can always use VitualDub or Avisynth

ok..vfapi is working now, and i just converted my divx with vfapi..now i can run it on CCE..

Another question though:

Does CCE use all the setting i entered in the tmpenc project file?
And since CCE 2.50 supports both vdub frameserve AND vfapi files, why would i switch to 2.62? What are the advantages of 2.62 over 2.50? would u guys advise to switch?
