SVCD video re-Size issue

[Mastro]

:confused: For some unknown reason I have recently burned 6 new SVCD, perfectly working on my PC. Everything was apparently set as it was for the last 16 I did before. Well I have just discoverd that the last 6 do not play on my standalone...The only possible explanation is that the video size which turned to be 720x576 instead of 480x576.
does anybody know which is the quickes tool to resize the video?
I can not rember how I can have possibly changed the video format. Where is this paremeter set in DVD2SVCD? All this started with ver 1.08 build 1.
Any suggestion is wellcome.

If the video size has been altered to 720x480, go into Misc. tab, choose "advanced" in the "DVD2SCVD level" box, then go to "Frameserver" tab. There will now be a box saying "Resize to". It this box says "DVD (full size)" change it to "SVCD" and try again.

If this isn't what you've done, then post your Avisynth script file and we'll see what editing can be done...

Thanks for posting a replay. You are right, I must have set DVD size by mistake.
Question:how do I get back to 480x576? With ISOBUSTER I can extract the mpg muxed file and re-encode everything again (4-5 h/disk) with TMPGEnc or ReEMPEG (more complex for demux-emcode-remux but a little faster). This is one way...right?
Can anybody suggest a tool to create different CD format (XSVCD, miniDVD?) where I can use the 720x576 MPEG-2 movie, and hope it will play on a standalone DVD player?

Thanks

Sorry to say but the SVCD you just made where perfectly good xSVCD. If your player cannot play that (it is not a SVCD resolution) then it probably do not play miniDVD either.
If you want to make a try at miniDVD anyway to be able to skip reencoding you have to cut the movies differently.
If you where using 2 full CD for SVCD it would take 3 for the same size of miniDVD. SVCD is stored in bigger blocks.
The miniDVD does only take 700 Mb on a 80 min disk.
