minidvd with dvd2svcd?

[pausenclown]

...will it be possible some time?

first i have to tell you that i dont have any experience in dvd-authoring. i mean there is a thought in my mind and i have to know! please dont blame me for this!

is there a chance to use dvd2svcd (in the near future) to put the ac3-stream together with the mpg-stream? may it be possible to insert the proggis ifo-edit and vobsplit into dvd2svcd perhaps making any kind of minidvd?

greetings

I don't see that happening.. miniDVD requires full blown DVD authoring and there's no free DVD compliant muxing tool anywhere out there.. plus after all the program is called dvd2svcd.. not dvd2miniDVD. miniDVD is a doomed format, within a year's time DVD recorders will be so cheap that nobody will bother with miniDVD anymore.. and miniDVD support on standalones is lousy at best.

as you can see there is a long time ago since my last post.
is it a long time?

it seems to me that dvd2svcd is getting nearer to the making of
mdvd or something like that.

keep on that good work.

It as good as supports it now. You can use it to make a dvd compliant video stream (and extract ac3). Then use Maestro or whatever to mux the video stream with the ac3, and bingo ;)

Hi...
Can DVD2SVCD output ...720 by 480, 4000kbps data with a file limit of 4.35 GB?

And burn permanent subs as well?

hi
yes dvd2svcd can output the unmuxed .mpv stream with desired settings...
for that you have to edit the avisynth script like following:

LoadPlugin("D:\yourpath\MPEG2Dec\MPEG2DEC.dll")
mpeg2source("H:your path")
BicubicResize(560,448,0,0.6,0,0,720,576)
AddBorders(80,16,80,16)

and in the bitrate tab put the lenght of your movie in,discs to 1 and cd size to ~4350mb..

set the avg.to 4000kb`s and the max. higher then 4000kb`s

uncheck create images

about the subs i don`t know,but i think so

for later authoring just put the encoded .mpv(mabe rename it to .m2v,cause some authoring progs. don`t like .mpv)and the extractet .ac3 stream out of the dvd2svcd folder in a authoring programm,....

hope this helps a bit

edit:oh iforgot to say:when you want to make a dvd than you have to check glose GOP in the encoder tab...

Umm is that resize script for 720 480 or 576?
And Do I need to resize at all if my source is 720 480?

[orbit-r]

no in fact theres no need to resize..tha script i posted is a optimized one..

but i forgot to say you can easily selct dvd in the frameservertab under resize then you must not edit the .avs


the script was for 720x480
