View Full Version : Avi codec used by DVD2SVCD?

I might be wrong, but I believe DVD2SVCD converts the video into AVI before it starts converting to Mpeg2. I'm wondering, what codec does it use?

I'm trying to find a good codec to use for video capturing, and I notice that whatever codec this program uses must be pretty good.

Thanks for the help.

Well, it kind of do that through avisynth but there's no codec involved. Something like this:

DVD (MPEG2) -> AVISynth (Frameserver converting the MPEG2 to uncompressed AVI frames) -> Encoder (CCE, TMPEnc or Procoder)

Thanks for clearing that up. I must say I'm a little disappointed, though. I was hoping to use whatever crystal-clear codec I thought you were using and still get small file sizes. I guess I should have known better. :)
