How To Make A Vcd/svcd

a few guidelines
in order to encode, you need the correct codecs, please download the latest from

here.

1. download tmpgenc http://www.tmpgenc.net
2. http://divxrepair.sourceforge.net/ remove all bad frames (or you can use

http://www.tucows.com/preview/323038.html it seems to work better but

you have to find a crack)
once you have tmpgenc installed and open, click cancel and choose options at the top
the very first tab is "environmental setting" choose this
you want to match these settings by raising or lowering the vafpi settings this can be done by right clicking the setting and

raise/lower to match theses
(don't worry about setting you don't have, just the ones you do have )

close tmpgenc, now your ready to encode :)
open tmpgenc and pick vcd or svcd (nstc if your in the USA)

then hit browse & choose your movie and hit next
to keep this simple for now, just hit next 2 more times till you get to the output file or project wizard 5/5

now hit ok
then hit start @ the top and it will encode your movie to vcd or svcd (whatever you chose :) )


TIPS:
If you want to speed up the encode you can put it on motion estimate search (change the motion search precision as seen @

the bottom here)

to change this you need to choose other settings in the project wizard 3/5

then change the setting here

just remember you're giving alittle quality by encoding that way, transversely if you put it on best quality, it takes even

longer but you get the very best
once its completely encoded to vcd or svcd open nero and burn it
hope this helps for now, cutting and advance filtering to come

Good stuff :rolleyes:

thanks but why the " :rolleyes: " :huh:
tried to make it easy

Thanks, bro. People ask this too much hehe. :)

Finally , kvcd enigma resolved.Thanks. :lol:

saves me from writing it out over and over
wish someone showed me how to do things the correct way, all my friends never had trail and error to figure out svcd/kvcd with me teaching them

Nice post! had a few people ask me about this, know i'll know where to refer them to as I am usually quite bad at trying to explain things like this lol
if only there weren't already a million posted topics in software world!
there may be room for 1 more....maybe, doubt it though unfortunatly!

shit I couldn't get kvcd pinned but its huge and had to fight lamasey when he tried to kill my earthquake thread and pin his
doesn't really need to be pinned to be good, just useful and easy for everyone
just post any problems or additions you would like put in under tips
I will add cutting tomorrow but feel free to add anything :)

You da man muchspl2 ;) This is exactly what I wanted to know, the right way. I just have a few questions.

1 When I encode a film with Tmpgenc into SVCD format and burn it using nero vcd option, it works on my DVD player with no problem. However, how can I make the picture quality even better because it looks distorted and pixelated?

2 When I burn a film encoded with Tmpgenc in SVCD format and burn it using nero SVCD option, it doesn't work and the DVD player says "cannot play this disk" and the disk is wasted?

Thanks for your help in the other thread, we need people like you to show us the right way on how to make EXCELLENT films B)

well it sounds like your dvd player doesn't support svcd
you can double check here
http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers
but, before you totally give up on playing svcd, you could try a trick :)
open tmpgenc and close the wizard

Click File - MPEG Tools. It should already be on the Simple Multiplex tab. Click the browse button beside Video input, and then browse to the mpg file. This will also load in the Audio input and will fill in the Output field. Change the Output filename, just make sure it isnt the same! Change Type, to MPEG-1 Video-CD (non-standard). Then click RUN, in a few minutes you will have another mpg file with VCD headers

NOTE: TMPGEnc might warn about an error in playback due to buffer underflow, but you dont need to worry about it, it usually happens when things are non standard!

Open Nero Burning Rom. When it opens, either the New Compilation window will appear or the Nero Wizard. If it is the wizard, click Close Wizard! In the New Compilation Window, use the scroll bar on the left to find Video CD. Click it!

Under the Video CD tab, UNSELECT create standard compliant cd! That is very important! Now click the New Button.

Now on your left you should have, your VCD compilation window and on your right you should have your file browser! Use the file browser to browse to the folder you have your mpeg file in. When you find it, drag it from the file browser to the compilation window! DO NOT drag it to any of the folders, drag it to the blank space underneath! Nero will then scan the file, if it tells you that it is non standard (which it shouldnt) click "Turn off standard compliance and continue".
source, I didn't think of it :P

but in nero u can just drag and drop a divx file and it will burn it to vcd in about one hour.

of coarse, this is how to do it correctly, nero sometime flips the movie for no reason
and its just overall a shitty encode, no pixelation or blockyness compared to doing it correctly with tmpgenc

muchspl2 has done it again,, very nice work indeed, and i got ur PM just now (i was on holidays) to much work to do now, updating the site and adding this new Guide of yours (i hope u r ok with it)

once again very nice work, as i will be trying this ASAP. :ph34r:

cool man I tried you email on your site and it kicked a error, so I left that message on the sign up
glad you got it :)

hey muchspl2 when i tried your method it said that it was too large for the cdr media on the estimate part of the wizard.

anyone help

yes just encode it
I havent made the splitting part yet, and I'm drunk now but ill try to wing it
you should encode the whole thing

hey muchspl2 VirtualDub is tricky little complicated software so therefore i am really looking forward to ur guide on VirtualDub.

i gota question about KVCD as well which i will be posting in KVCD thread..

oh i thought u meant we could put one movie on one disk.

because this guy that i was talking to he said that nero does that with divx movies.

how can that be possible

well with kvcd you can fit it on one disc, but thats another guide :)

yea but is it true that you can fit a whole movie on a disk using nero?

If I Follow Your Guide Can I Put More Than 1 KVCD File On 1 Disc Or Does It Just work With 1 File?

no not nero
but if you follow the kvcd guides you can do it
acp for whole movies and the manual way for small clips less than hour

edit:

yes more than one kvcd on 1 disc
please keep the topics separate :)

So With KVCD I Can Fit My 9 Episodes Of Friends On 2 Disc Rather Than The 3 It Would Probably Take For VCD?

Edit:

Sorry I Will From Now On

yes I get around 9 - 10 eps of the simpsons on 1 cdr so friend should be no problem

HELP !!!!
i have read this whole post and try
to encode my nemo divx rip :D
my divx rip is better than good :) never seen like this
but now when i encode is is not the same but good enuf
on the highest quality but the movie is 1:40
and now hee is at 54% after 10hours and 30 minutes :o
and i se that he have encode 2 hours and 30 minutes :blink:
i try`d preview and seen 1hour and 40 minutes of the movie
and then 50 minutes the first frame of the movie :frusty: :crazy: :frusty:
how is this posible :helpsmile:
and i have no sound :unsure:
i do not split it to a sound and movie file
i just put the divx movie sound+movie
in tmpgenc and let him do the work
whats wrong here ????
must i split the audio and add it to this mpeg file :blink: :blink:
thnx from a dutch boy
me and my next door friends where talking like :argue:
he`s say this is inposible but i know it can :smilie4: :D
must i stop tmpgenc ????
and some times it looks like some frames messing up :unsure:


===EDIT===
the movie starts again but i se only the first 10 sec and then
the other time is that last frame of the intro :frusty: :unsure:

Once again, excellent job, muchspl2.

thanks haxor41789


@ dutch user
it seems you have a codec issue, if you have any other codec pack's remove them and grab the klite codec pack, or if you have the klite codec pack already try uninstalling it and get the latest build

ok thnx muchspl2
i go do that
but now can i do it al over
i have the movie stream thats 3 times the normal
movie time the last 3 hours is only the first frame
maby i can cut the movie and add the audio to it ?/
first i gona install the klite codec pack
i have here the divx and xvid codec`s
and some automatic downloaded codec`s from media player

thnx any way

i have split the original divx file in a movie and sound file
and add the sound file to this 4 hour mpeg file and cutoff the extra time so
i have a movie of 1hour and 40 minutes again :D
it works and now i start it over again with the klite codec`pack
look if it`s better and hope now he make a movie like it shut
be :P
thnx again muchspl2

no problem, glad to help

codec's are very important esp when encodeing :)
