I Capture a lot of home video using Virtual Dub with multipart files to get past the file size limits on Windows 9X platform.

When I Capture at 480 * 480 to create SVCD, I don't do a whole lot of extra tweaking of the video. So it was important to be able to feed video to CCE without setting up all the different frameservers. Plus I wanted to do Multipass VBR to squeeze as much video on a CD with acceptable quality.

Step 0: Open multipart capture file in Vdub.

Step 1: Determine the exact Beginning & Ending frames in Vdub and Mark.

Step 2: Export the wav to output file.

Step 3: Use wav2mp.exe or any other tool to create .mp2 audio file.
I normally use 128kbit with error correction.
This file will be multiplexed in later using BBMPEG.

Step 4: If you use PICVIDEO as codec with quality 19, you can Export the
video in roughly 20 Minute chunks using Direct Copy from VDub.
Save as ->> [Old Video format] that requires filesize to be less than 2 gig.

NOTE: Be Careful not to overlap or leave out any frames when doing the video export, otherwise the audio will be out of sync after final multiplex.

Vdub may give warnings saying a codec not selected but just choose OK, since we are not reprocessing the video anyway.

Step 5: Open CCE, and modify a template to set values for desired settings, since I usually try to use one 80min cd. I caluculate Avg Bitrate to fit. Max= 2452 kbit, Min=500kbit. Be sure to pick Multipass VBR to make sure mpeg will fit, and Video only since you already have .mp2 audio file.

Step 6: Drag first file chunk of video into CCE window.

Step 7: Now here is the COOL!!!! part, Just select first file and choose edit from the Right Mouse Click Menu. Then Click the Button next to the Input files. A new window will appear and this is where you <add> the rest of the video chunks you exported out of Vdub.

CCE will encode all input files into (1) output file.

Step 8: Close all the settings windows and click ENCODE.
Wait around 4 hrs for a 90min video for encode to finish.

Step 9: Open BBMPEG and select .mpv & mp2 files to multiplex.
I also load the SVCD80MIN.ini file used by VideoServerPlugin
since it has all the settings to multiplex and split files in 80min (794MB) segments to fit on a CD.

You are now done and should have video ready to go into VCDEASY to add chapter points & create bin files. Then burn with NERO.

I am assuming in this guide that you already know how to use all of the above tools.

Before trying this I thought it would be a hassle, but it turned out to be fast and easy.

I have a lot of old VHS tapes forthe kids and I can move to SVCD with minimal effort using this method with execellent Quality.

Hope this helps those who just can't seem to get all the frame serving working on their pc.
