Hello,
I am new to this whole video thing and let me say that I am impressed at all the work many people have done to bring the tools such as D2S to end user community. So, many thanks to all of you.
Mainly, I am trying to convert Divx type video files to SVCD format so that I can burn them to disc. So, I installed D2S with "Avi2svcd" option. I am having some issues and would like some of your "professional" support to resolve them.
1) I am wondering if there is anyway to select a "frame range" in D2S when converting .avi files (i.e. to cut titles and end portions etc.)?
2) I encoded and burned (using CCE in D2S) a video file to SVCD. When I play it in my stand alone DVD player, It feels like video is sticking... meaning it plays, audio is fine but the video plays few frames, and a very small pause at a certain frame and resumes play back... it's almost like you don't notice the pause, yet, you do notice it if you watch for a few seconds. It keeps doing this through out the whole movie. I am not sure why this is happening. any thoughts?
3) Regarding question 2, I am thinking it might be bitrate thing...which leads me to this question. See, I want to fit the whole file into one disc. So, in the BITRATE tab, I set the first CD (800) to "0 - 102mins".. since the file plays for 1h:41m:20sec. What bitrate should I use for MAX, MIN, [and should I select Min AVG??? if so how much] and MAX AVG? I am picky about quality so, I use Q 20 in CCE ... (if this is any relevant)... Or, should I just stick with default Bitrates and just change the CD settings (i.e. 0-102mins)?
And, I just started to use the AutoFitCD... first impressions are good.
Maybe, I am sounding like I want it all...and maybe I do... :-) but, what I would like to have is to be able to convert a video file with the portion (i.e. frame range selection) and encode it with good quality and fit it to a single SVCD disc (80min CD). What could you suggest to achieve this?
Thanks in Advance!
