Hi!
A puzzling question, for me :P
All I'm trying to do is to make a VCD with video bitrate lower than the standard 1150kbps, using TMPGEnc. The problem lies in the "stream type" in the system tab.
If I use "MPEG1 VideoCD", no matter what bitrate I choose, the file ends up the same size as if I used 1150kbps, BUT the quality is not the same. I dunno why TMPGEnc forces that.
There is no such file-size problem if I select "MPEG1 VideoCD (non-standard)", however Nero complains that it's not a standard mpeg (unless I encoded at 1150kbps), so I've not found any way around that than encoding these non-standard mpegs and ignoring the standard-compliance; unfortunately I don't have a stand-alone DVD player to test the discs created that way =/ (they work no prob in a PC)
Have any of you ever done that before, and verified that the VCDs worked in a home player? Any clue creating a lower-than-1150 VCD would be greatly appreciated :o !
