Creating VCD

[LxTreme]

Hi I am new to this hobby so I am gonna need help now and then.

I have been quite successful in creating MPEG files from my Sony Camcoder. However the program I am using to author insist that the image size for VCD must be 352 X 240 or 352 X 288. My capture card settings are 192 X 144, 384 X 288 and 768 X 576. So that's the end of the road for me till I get a VCD compliant Video input card unless some one has a way out.

Appreciate your help.

Lx.

Hi

You don't need to capture at the exact spec, as you can convert the mpeg later with a program like TMPGEnc.

Capture as close as possible 384 X 288 ?, then load a VCD template into TMPGEnc.

This enables you to make compliant VCD's

Video-CD PAL (MPEG-1 352x288 25fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)

Video-CD NTSC (MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)
