What am I doing wrong (my first post)

[paulhoopen]

First of all thanks for any reply great site!

I use easydivx0.81
very easy to use I have to say and it creates very good AVI format from my DVD
I set it to 2 cd's (635Mb)and let it run (divx5.01codec constant bitrate)

I use nero and try to make an SVCD

and here it is where I go wrong (less quality)shunky parts
I try to make from cd 1 after easydivx081 sized (666Mb)
a SVCD fit on 79min and let it encode.

The quality is not what I expected which setting do I have to use to gain the same quality as the superb made AVI thru easydivx081

the output easydivx avi is

audio
audio format= Mpeg layer3
average data rate= 16.00Kb/second
sample rate= 44.100 Khz
channels= 2 stereo

video
streamname= mpeg2avi{IDCT32MMX}'-q0'
framewidth= 720pixels
frameheight= 576pixels
playlenght= 2724.720seconds
framecount= 68118
framerate= 25frames/second
datarate= 233.110 Kb/sec
videosample size= 24bits
videocompression= divx codec

If more info needed please let me know?

Thanks for all replies!

well might want to use a different codec as divx is a VERY lossy codec and often loses sync when converted to mpeg

[paulhoopen]

Which codec and program would you suggest to use?
And can It be coded straight from the dvd to Mpeg2 which Nero can burn as SVCD is suchs a program available and what setting would I have to use

[resnullius]

i'd use either sefy's guide or doom9's, you can find both in the dvdrip section. and maybe not use nero 5.5.8.0 seems to be less compatible than previous versions...

paulhoopen, why are you encoding to DivX and then to SVCD ??? that is a complete waste of time and quality! encoder straight to SVCD or VCD, i'd recommand you follow the guides and see how it goes for you.
