problem with SVCD creation

[shadu]

I tried to put 2 episodes of a TV series on SVCD. I can't put them on VCD because 45 min + 45min give 90 min, too much for a (700 MEG cd). So i made the MPEG2 with tmpgenc with a bitrate below 978 kbit/s. When i look at them on my computer all seem to work correctly but when i burn them and play them on a DVD player the image/sound jump when the action are to quick in the screen.

What i did wrong?

that's what you get when your bitrate is too low.
<978 is way too low if you have any kind of action or complex scenes.
you didn't say whether you used CBR or VBR. Using VBR will help you somewhat, however, with 90 minutes of video, your average bitrate will be around 1000 with your sound at 192k. that might get you decent results is you do multipass VBR, but it depends on the material you are encoding.

OK! I am very newbie in this business... I find the VBR setting (i used CBR). How did it work? It ask me a average, min and max bitrate. And how to change de audio to 192 kbps. I extracted it with virtualdub.

well...you managed to find this site--that's half the battle.
next, look through this site--at the left, you'll see different sections.
first, look through the one that says NEWBIE, then the one that says CONVERT. to find your average bitrate, you'll use the calculator found in the section labeled Tools--but, the guide found under CONVERT will tell you that. good luck!

OK! I find the VBR and the use of it. But can't find how to convert my 244 audio bitrate to 194. What is the program i must use?

what you would do is open the avi in virtual dub, under audio-->full processing, file-->save wav.
then you would use this wav as the audio source in TMPG, and change the bitrate to 192k unde audio(make sure you had loaded unlock template under extra)--I would use toolame and ssrc as external tools for the audio--you can search this site to find how to do that.

Thanks! I find the unlock option... very well hide!

I will try it tonight.
