    When I burn the movie and view it, the quality really sucks (in comparison).

    After the hours spent downloading, encoding and burning, I wonder if it is worth it? There are so many of you out there that it must be and you must be getting better quality than I do.

    My images are not sharp and sometimes there are glitches and skips.

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    What program did you use to encode your movie?
    What speed did you burn at?

    I use DVD2SVCD and use the CCE encoder (Cinema Craft Encoder). I choose multi-pass vbr3 and i also create bin& cue files which requires about 2 more gigs of hd free space just to be safe. My SVCD video quality is superior and my backups literally look the the original dvd. I found out burning any higher than 12x can cause playback problems on home dvd players and dvd-roms. The issue here is that particular home dvd players& dvd-roms have trouble reading a burned scvd& vcd at high speeds. I found burning at 8x works best for me.

    Thanks for that,
    I use TEMPGEnc and burn with Nero at 4X.
    I will try your way and see what happens.

    By the way, where did you get CCE?

    Drop me an email and I'll be glad to send as the website no longer offers CCE 2.5. Please don't give me an hotmail account though as the file is just over 2 mb's.

    I use dvd2svcd, vbr min:300 max:2450 average:1600, 4 pass encoding but i don't make images from them and it gives me very very near dvd quality. I also use CCE SP, the only problem is the actual price of CCE SP is very high!
