what is kvcd? i have rundown in kvcd format and i want to watch it on my dvd player, now i read something about being able to put 360mins on one 80min cd is this possible and how ?

Yeah it’s possible, but that’s if you’ve encoded the file using a 360 min KVCD (Kwag Video Compact Disc) template and such. If the actual file you’ve got is not encoded this way, then you won’t be able to fit 360 min of video content onto a 700MB CDR.

Read more at the site – www.kvcd.org

I suggest just burning the file to CDR as it is. BTW, how big is the file? Is it under 800MB, or over that threshold?

Also – fitting 360 minutes onto CDR will mean that you’ll never have brilliant quality video. The quality will be below VHS quality.

Bear in mind that KVCD is non-standard. This means that not ALL DVD players can play the format. Check the KVCD site for more information about this. reply

Yes, KVCD in essence is higher quality when compared to standard MPEG1 VCD content. That’s a given, BUT if you’re trying to fit 360 minutes of video content onto a 700MB CDR, this will result in *Bad Quality*, no matter what.You can fit about 120 minutes of *High Quality* non-standard MPEG1 content onto a single CDR, using a KVCD template and by adjusting the CQ using CalcuMatic and CQMatic, you can get even better results.Did you burn the KVCD content to a 700MB CDR, Neo? It will fit, as it is.

I assume you’ve tried encoding to KVCD-MPEG1 before, Movieman? What are your results?The Last Samurai would be a TeleSync, and as such will always be – just watchable. I personally steer away from TeleSyncs encodes because as they’re camera rip sourced, they will always only be – just watchable.

No you can fit up to 838MBs onto KVCD using Nero Enterprise or Neo to a CD-R 700MB 80 min. How you say just setup Neo to overburn the CD-R to the max is 82.59.59 mins. Neo does the work, all you do is supply the MPEG file. Forget about AVI converting them to VCD/SVCD just get KVCD mpeg.It works most CD-R blank media rated at 1X to 48X which can burn up to 52X as well well beyond the 48X. I’ve tried and it works.KVCD and SKVCD is much better than VCD and SVCD formats for your home DVD Player but the question is that not all DVD Home Players can handle this type of format.

That’s why I say get a Mintek DVD 1600 Player.

Mintek is one step higher than the Apex which is also the lower end.

The company that makes the Mintek also makes Apex

1. Top of the line is not sold in the states
2. Mintek
3. Apex

If you want to burn anything on your PC then watch on it your home TV or DVD player get yourself the Mintek DVD 1600 or find Apex model.

Forget the other DVD players they just can’t keep up with KVCD format… reply
