TimberWolf Guest | I just downloaded a movie in KVCD and burnt it as VCD and then played it in my dvd player. Man was it a piece of crap. Because of the resolution I was looking at 9 ft tall people and skinny as hell. I don’t know if that was supposed to be like that or not, or somebody copied it from a widescreen format and shriked it like that. But it was garbage. I did play it on my pc and shrank the screen down so it looked like a wide screen and played mighty fine to me, picture was great and enjoyed. But rather burn it to a dvd instead to enjoy a beeter picture. I can’t seem to find a way to convert KVCD to DVD ? or i just don’t download any more KVCD’s. So thats all.

dw817 Guest | Download other people’s VCDs and KVCDs ?
Yuk ! 
The only REALLY good QUALITY movies you see are going to be the ones you make yourself.
The latest version of FlaskMPEG can rip DVDs cleanly to AVI. I recommend XVID as your flavor CODEC. Default settings are good for XVID but if you tweak it, you can easily speed it up and lose very little picture quality for much higher compression.
Once you rip a video to .AVI that is still not enough ! You must clean the video yourself.
I recommend using VirtualDUB and it’s lethal line of assassinating filters for pixel-pop, screen shudder, and general crap you get when recording live from VHS or even conversion to DVD. Always use BILINEAR when stretching a screen for maximum speed of encoding and easy quality. NEVER use closest pixel unless you are speed-platforming your Windows ONLY.
Once you have the .AVI the way you want, it’s off to TMPGENC to save it is a VCD or KVCD !
I use a variant of the default KVCD template but default works quite well ! If you have done your homework the right way, then you will not need to encode at a higher speed that SLOW. VERY SLOW is unbelievably slow and never worth the 1% quality you gain.
Use a KVCD/VCD/MPEG1 calculator to guesstimate your movie size. Usually 1000kilobits/sec for a one-hour movie, 750kb/sec for 2-hour, and 500kb/sec for 3-hour.
From there it’s to VCDEasy. Interjecting a nice logo movie (say 7-10 seconds long) at the front for your credz is always a nice treat and a personal touch when you give out movies to friends for holidays and other occasions.
NEVER sell your movies, I don’t care if it’s on an audio CD when you are done. You WILL get in trouble, though I think it’s OK and no-one will bother you if you either trade with other movie-makers such as yourself or just to give them out as nice gifts to people that have DVD players that can play your creations.
I suggest you purchase your own DVD player and 1-2 rewriteable DVDs and rewriteable CDs to record 1-minute movies to see how they look on the actual screen. After 10-15 experiments and comparisons you will have better knowledge of what your final movie will look like.
If you need a plethora of free movies to experiment with. Consider your local library.
(SERIOUS!)
The library loans out DVDs usually 5 per week and it costs you nothing provided you take care of them and don’t lose them.
Hope This Helps !

TimberWolf Guest | Thanks anyway, but thats to much bull for me. to do this and do that and put this there wow, not for me. I rather download a movie and watch it, thats it thats all, and if good enough to keep I’ll burn it, if it isn’t to much of a hassel, know what I mean.

drolar Guest | NeroVision Express allows you to go in and change the quality of the movie. just click “more” at the bottom, the click “video options"

dw817 Guest | Hi Drolar:
* I’m curious:
I have not used NeroVision though I can get it.
In NeroVision, does it encode an .AVI to MPEG with quality control, and, if this is the case, how does it compare to both in quality and time of encoding to TMPGENC using a standard KVCD template at SLOW encoding quality ?

Dragon25 NFRG Guest | right hi guys im not going to go into as much detail as what another user did with how to create a kvcd , but can say those details were good but not all that there is to know about it.
to view kvcd (bin/cue) on a pc run VLC player as this is great for viewing and is what i sused to test before releaseing to see the quality and to make sure the bin/cue files that have been created work,but we do also check on dvd players.
use tmpgenc 2.5 with the templates and the matrix from www.kvcd.net but there are so many ways to improve the quality and looks from inside of 2.5 to other additions that came from kvcd.net
now we all keep hearing that kvcd’s are just plain crap or that dvd’s are much better, well the truth is is that kvcd can be better than dvd just depends on the encoder and if they can fit it on 1 disc like king kong is over 3 hours and would need 2 discs otherwise you would seriously jeperdise quality. and the main idea for kvcd is to enable to quality of a dvd or higher to fit onto 1 cd and to be played on a standalone dvd player.
most of us kvcd makers use vcdeasy to create the bin cue that enable chapters and menus within the whole thing, so you can either burn it to cd or the hdd.

sorry lads i cant play cd,s in my dvd players i need to convert it to dvd format so it will play on any dvd player.
You STILL don’t understand!
Your DVD player will THINK a KVCD “CD” is a “DVD” and “MOST” DVD players will work, even if they DONT play vcd/SVCD!
SO TRY IT ANYWAY!

Malcolm Boone Guest | Ok so I have the .cue and .bin files for a movie. Can I burn them to a cd that will play in dvd players and if I can how. If not I need to know how to convert them to either mpeg or dvd format so I can put them on a data file, take them to another computer, and burn them.

ftngfmac Guest | all you need is a program called nero ultra 7 will burn any format to either cd or dvd but understand when you burn to a cd you are putting a movie(4gb)onto a disc that only holds 700mb’s between the quality and the cost dvd blanks are not really that expensive.

DRAGON25 NRG Guest | christ, how many times do i ahve to say this.
kvcd 's are encoded for 1 disc and to be burnt and played on 1 cd.
they are NOT encoded so that people extract the video file from the bin / cue to then convert to dvd , the quality basically will go if this happens
BUT if some silly people still wish to do this rather daft move then
get VCDGEAR read on their site how to use it, then convert the mpeg 1 video (which is the mpeg format which is found in kvcd) and convert to dvd format which is (mpeg 2 family)

x111 Guest | you wil find that some kvcd/svcd files can be converted but outhes cant if you find you can not try this it works for me Load [the image into Alcohol 120 image drive (just right click on the drive and mount the file) you can then explor the files held inside, simply drag the file onto your desk top. Then open winAvi and convert that file into a DVD.]
