Here all, I have managed to convert an avi to KVCD using a template In TMPGEnc 2.5. The picture and audio are both spot on. The trouble is though readily during the first 5-10mins of the film it stops for a sec or so and then carries on (About every 5secs). This eventually doesn't happen as much as the film plays on (still every 5 mins or so). Its annoying as hell and i wondered if its the way i've encoded it?, Or more to do with the burning process? Discs used are Sony 700mb/80min. In virtualdub it says its a 25.000fps. So I encoded in PAL KVCD and burnt it with NERO PAL Non-standard VCD. Any thoughts would be great cheers jim.
Jut a suggestion: play the MPG with any player on your PC. Is it still stopping nesr that point? I think it might be a media problem. There is't any reason for the movie being 'badly encoded', since A/V is in-sync.
Hi there, In the player PowerDVD, mediaplayer 10 & media player classic 6.5 it all plays perfect. Since posting I tried encoding the original avi in the Standard Compliant VCD, Standard VCD/PAL template in TMPGEnc. And it plays perfect on my dvd player. This leads me to believe that KVCD may be buggy. What do you think KVCD prob or not?
No. I think KVCD hasn't a great video quality (look my 'open poll' in http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/126073 ), but its template doesn't encode the audio at all. You can insert audio into the KVCD movie only by multiplexing the M1V output of TMPGenc to a MP2 44.1 KHz (or a MPG) stream, TMPGenc__MPEG Tools, and multiplexing choosing as Type 'Video-CD (non standerd). How did you put the audio in your M1V movie? If it came from a MP2 file, was it 224 kbps 44.1 KHz [(S)VCD compliant] or 48 kHz (DVD compiant)?
I encode the audio stright from the avi file and default encoding for my KVCD template is Steam type MPEG-1 Layer II, 44100hz, Dual channel, Bitrate 128kbits/sec . I use TOOLame to encode the new audio file. I pretty sure though I have changed this once to 224kbits/sec to improve audio.
