[b]PC quality good ,VCD bad[/b]

[Nawaaz]

I am trying to convert VHS(pal movie) to VCD .For that ,I have a bt878 card.
I use iuvcr with Divx 5 compression (352*288 pal @ 25fps)and then TEMPGenc to convert to mepg1.I burn the cd with NTI CD Maker 5.
Although the mpg output is less brighter (perhaps due to compression) the quality is satisfactory when played on pc. But when I play it on a vcd player although I get the brightness back the image is dirty. I have tried to change some parameters like compression, color format without success

Please help me
Thanks Nawaaz[/u]

The image might be "dirty" because of the low constant bitrate of a VCD. Constant Bitrate usually makes blocks appear in files. Macroblockage occurs when there is not enough bitrate to process for your frames or scenes.


Hope That Helps!!! :P

You should be capturing using a less lossy codec then DivX. If your card supports it, try using either HuffyUV or MJPEG.

Oh.. and the quality of the video really is just as bad on your PC. Try playing it full screen rather then in a window to see what I mean.
