running out of options...

[Lev]

hey guys,

i'm trying to encode Samurai I (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0047444) to svcd and i can't seem to get acceptable quality..

the movie is fullscreen (4:3) and contains a lot of demanding scenes with lots of detail like an army marching down the road and high motion fight scenes in a forest..

even if i do a 2408 kb/s cbr encode with cce (my dvd player has a max of 2600 kb/s and i use 192 kb/s for sound) i get a lot of noise around the edges and even blocks in some scenes..

the only option i have left is encoding it in 23.976 fps i guess... i read somewhere this can't be done with dvd2svcd but i can't find where i read that..

what's the best way to do a 23.976 fps encode? a link to a guide would be great.

or are there other alternatives?

1. use IVTC to remove the interlaced frame and reduce the frame rate to 23.976
2. use temporalsoften2 filter to reduce the noise but remain the detail
3. crop(16,448,20,440), addboards(16,20,16,20) in .avs
4. encode in cce 2.50 use 1-pass vbr-cq, q=60-70, complex=10-24, no denoise. use the matrix of "Andreas SVCD matrix"

so I´ve made many "world record"(in length) VCDs/SVCDs
for exsample:
Movie "Anna & the King"(english with chinese subs) 147min, original 3 VCDs, but I get it on 1-700mb VCD in good quality.
Movie "The Storm Riders"(cantonese with chinese subs) 127min, original on NTSC-DVD, but I get it on 1-700mb SVCD in good quality.
