The newbies guide to fitting a movie on one CD using TMPGEnc

[Devanshu]

Used only the fitting the movie on one disc part...works like a charm.

I have a KLH digital KD-1220

[oscar]

i have a movie file I want to burn to a 700mb/80min disk
Here is the files spec:
774 MB
kvcd encoded
mpeg movie clip (was D/L)
--
When I open it in nero and see if I can overburn..the message that asks if you want to overburn does not come up. So Iit wont let me burn it

I followed your steps with the non-complient...and I ended up with a 995 MB file...?
What did I do wrong? normally when I d/l something it's ready to be burned or simply needs to be converted. But I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I use TMPGEnc Plus 2.59.47 and nero 6.0.0.28 with all plugins, Thanks

Just a bit off topic but refering to the above poster....

Where do you get your ready mpeg endoded films/videos from?

all i can seem to pick up is DIVX ones.....great quality and normally not to much lowering of the bitrate is needed....

[oscar]

just gotta know where to look...sorry, if not being more specific.
i like divX, even more then mpeg. but I rather save the trouble of converting to make vcd's. pm me if you want more info.

I use TMPGEnc Plus 2.59.47

TMPGEnc 2.59 had a bug which always encoded VCD's at the standard 1150 Kbps bitrate even if you selected something else. Try a different version. 8)

that would explain my problem!!! I know something was wrong
Thanks for the info...

[JPrimousNPG]

I waiting about 3 days to finally be able 2 post a comment...THANK-U so much 4 the guide!!! The first time I used it, I totaly missed seeing the MPEG-1 Video-CD (non-standard) option, so of course it didn't work. Thanks 2 the forum, I was able 2 correct my oversight and the settings work just fine! I was about 2 put "The Matrix" on one disc and it works just fine on both of my Daewoo (yeah cheap) DVD players

[JPrimousNPG]

Deleted duplicate POST..sorry!!!

[farrouck]

Dear friends, no matter what I do, TMPGEnc, I stoped using the latest version and tried v2.8 the movies always end up being 1GB. And when I use de VCD (non-standard) Roxio's Easy CD says System Clock error. Please help.

[JPrimousNPG]

Dear friend...U have 2 use "non-standard" all of the time 4 this template 2 work. Use Nero or VCDEasy 2 burn Ur VCD's. I believe it's been posted here that Roxio Easy CD Creater will not burn "non-standard" VCD's

[farrouck]

JP Thanks!! That's it, how much time I wasted trying to burn with Roxio's, I installed Nero and everything wen OK

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Why does TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 crash everytime I load a d2v file???
Do I need something else besides creating an One Disc VCD template?

Why does TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 crash everytime I load a d2v file???

[lndtf]

Could you be more specific???
I have DirectShow Multimedia File Reader to priority 2 in VFAPI plug-in and there are DVD2AVI.vfp and TMPGEnc.vfp in the same folder. What else do I need?

Hi everyone. I am a new guy who has a few problems.
1. I have version 2.5 but I can't seem to find the Wizard folder that is mentioned in the tutorial.
2. I have a video file I want to make into a VCD. It is about 700mb in size. I can't seem to get it to finish with a size under 1GB with out turning quality of the video to garbage.
3. Do you think I should just buy a DVD burner and get a program that turns AVI to DVD?
Well thanks for any help I get.

The wizard is not a folder, it is the interface window which opens up when you first start TMPGEnc, the "Project Wizard."

The unspecified "video file" that is 700 MB is converted into a VCD mpeg of more than 1 GB. Since VCD is about 10 Mb per minute that would tell me that your file is larger than 100 minutes. That's just the way that VCD works, and VCD is pretty crappy as it is without trying to make it any smaller by lowering the bitrate.

You can try to make a DVD which would be much better quality than VCD or you can go for SVCD (if your DVD player will play it) which is pretty good as well. TMPGEnc is what I use for converting to mpeg.

[BillNye]

Thanks. The file I am trying to make to a VCD is a 700MB version of the movie Swordfish. I think it's just way too big.

I decided I'll just make Simpsons episodes into VCD's and burn the movies onto DVDs. Thanks for the help.

If you care about quality: www.kvcd.net

If not, then this guide should work fine.

kvcd = if u want superior quialty, it takes so much time, with teh using scripts and shit, but if u jus use the template in tmpg it looks no better IMHO

or atleast it was in July wen i used to post
cya

[better life]

When I go to the last part to select the size of cds, TMPGnc keeps CD-R 74min as the first choice which I always have to roll down to CD-R 80min. Is there any way I can have TMPGnc to show CD-R 80min as the first choice? Thanks

[Bondiablo]

You need to edit the template file with notepad, though I'd save your own custom template and edit that one so you always have the original as a reference and you don't accidently overwrite your changes installing a newer version of TMPGEnc. The line for media size should read...

MPEG.WizardTargetMedia = MPEGConfig_TargetMediaType_CD_80min

[Lville]

This guide really looks great! Unfortunately I didn't get very far. When I tried to open the template VideoCD (NTSC) in TPGEnc, I got the error "Invalid Stream Format". I've searched the forum and found no reference to that error message. Any suggestions. I'm pretty much a newbie, but I have used TPGEnc quite a bit, but I've never tried to customize the settings. Thanks for any help anyone could give.

Hello,

I Have Tryed This Guide several times, But Yet i always Get Lousy quality Video's.


Now i see alot of ppl say i get excellent Quality But after doing the same Movie 10 times, I can't get it to come out, Picture has alot of blurr in it, The sound is okay, But the video isnt even close to vhs standards,

My Settings are Exactly what this Guide States ( except i messed around with the Bitrate highering it and lowering it to get better quality ) even when i tryed 1000 Bitrate the picture still was same any clues?

[Renegade6]

I will give it a try

[better life]

Bondiablo: Where do I put the code? Is it between these two?
object TMPEGConfigFile
MPEG.WizardTargetMedia = MPEGConfig_TargetMediaType_CD_80min
MPEG.Text = ''

[Bondiablo]

Put it where your current template says "MPEG.WizardTargetMedia...." I posted an entire template above, you can see it there as well.

[brianp32]

Hello I used a guide On here And Tryed to make a One cd vcd, Looked Like crap, 86 min movie,

so then i compressed a Divx, And Picture and sound was perfect,
Now Using exact settings for vcd the Picture still looked Blurry and crappy,
Any Clues Why The divx Is Picture Perfect and the vcd Looks Like Sh|t?

[brianp32]

Well After Not getting any replys All i can asume is you Ppl have LOW Standards Cause i Did this Several times With a 86 Min Movie with over 1000 Bitrate, The Picture Was Fuzzy, The credits were Blurry, In dark scenes there Was Gray boxxes and throuout the Movie it Jumped, And the Faces or images went in and out of focus, This was a direct from dvd convert, Played the rip file picture was perfect, I see ppl saying Can't tell the diff from the dvd or the vcd and thats at 900 br im using over 1000 and i seen Better Screening video's, I used The guide to a tee, done it several times over and No change, Ill stick to spending 40 bucks for 25 dvd +r least they look good,

[better life]

Dear Bondiablo: I have replaced your template and saved but it doesn't stay, so I still get into the 74min. Could you please let me know that I did anything wrong? Thank you. Better Life
