LOoking for Guide: DIVX/XVID to DVD using CCE

[lilhobo]

hey there, looking for a guide to convert XVID to DVD (and maybe add a menu of 3):

1. i try to encode with CCE using their standard PAL DVD template, but the video comes out looking 2/3 of the PAL screen and squeezed to the top left. WHY? How do you set CCE to fill the screen with a 640x480 video?

2. CCE didnt like the audio: AC3, but generated a wav that noone can play.

How do i get the divx to dvd easily thanks

EDIT: i found this does anyone have experience?

1. How do you set CCE to fill the screen with a 640x480 video?

Which version?
Resizing in cce isn't recommended.
Install avisynth and fitcd. Use fitcd to get resize parameters and save avisynth script.
Use the .avs file instead of the video in cce.


2. CCE didnt like the audio: AC3, but generated a wav that noone can play.

AC3 audio you should use as is, just need to demux it.
You can use vdubmod to extract the audio stream and use it later when authoring.

I am looking for some one click app which can do that like ConvertXToDVD, only using CCE?

@lilhobo

1. First demux streams, using VirtualDubMod for example.

2. Create avs script with DirectShowSource because i suppose that using ffdshow for decoder for AVI's (XviD, DivX), ffdshow isn't important, but you can enable Post Processing, Noise, DeBand, Sharpen filters to make AVI looks better.

3. You must find proper AR of movie because you must encode anamorphic.

4. For example if movie have resolution 720x304 you need to add borders, to top and botom. You can do that with avisynth with AddBorders() command.

5. After finding correct AR you should resize to 720x576 or 720x480 for NTSC, with Spiline36Resize() for example. Resizing is always need because if you have source resolution of for ex. 640x352, you must make it to 720x576/420

6. After making avs script you need to check script is AR correct, i use BSPlayer to do that. Open avs in BSPlayer then set AR to 16:9 using SHIFT+2 buttons, picture must be like original. If you piture streched or squized, back to do lab ;) check borders.

7.Now open that script in CCE, i supposed that you using 2.70 version, i've use Doom9 settings from www.doom9.org page. One important thing is that in CCE config need to signal correct AR, because latter you maybe have problems on muxing.

8. After encoding video you get m2v file, and video encoding is done.

9. For encoding Audio, i recommend BeHappy. Sound from DivX is probably MP3/AAC/WMA/WAV/AC3. If is AC3 you should not need to process. For everything elese you need to transcode. Aslo if stereo is source, and probably is, you can use some of upmix extensions to create 5.1 AC3 stream with aften encoder.

10. After encoding audio you can create subtitle streams using SubtitleCreator

11. And finaly muxing, can be done with with MuxMan or IfoEdit, for both, search forum for guides.

Bye.

Easiest, use DVD2SVCD combined with CCE. Look at the DVD2SVCD forum.
