Reencoding svcd isos

[FounderX]

Hi all,

I want to re-encode/rip my already burned svcd's, because my new JVC XV-s300BK doesn't read them properly ( stuttering sound/picture etc etc )

I've done some new movies and they play well at 2420 total bitrate, my other svcds are maxed to 2756 and they dont play well anymore.

What is the best way to reencode them using some tools from the DVD2SVCD package and CCE to the proper bitrate I want ( 2420 )

TIA :D

well VCDEasy is good for ripping SVCDs (on the download page), after that you'd want to demux the mpg files to m2v video and mp2 audio files, which can be done with TMPGEnc (download page). From there you can load the m2v files into DVD2AVI and use mpeg2dec.dll in avisynth to frameserve into CCE. After they're encoded to your liking just re-mux the new m2vs to the original mp2s and then load the XML file generated by vcdeasy when you ripped back into vcdeasy and burn :/

the best way is to return the dvd player to the local store or exchange it with a JVC XV-N5 or so. Otherwise you will have problems all your(dvd player's) life long - with the svcds from internet or the brandnew cinema blockbuster svcds from your friend, which evtl. as birthday's gifts or so. Sometime a firmware update can also help. There is a project called "One firmware for all" in yahoo discuss forum which can be applied to many ESS-Chip based dvd players(65% worldwide sold dvd players using ESS chip) and make it to a really allround player with minidvd, iso-svcd, jpg photos and mp3 long filename support. Of cause as basic functions all kinds of xvcd/xsvcd.

Done the parts with TMPGEnc and DVD2AVI but the frameserve stuff into CCE I don't dig that much :(

thx both for the replies :D

CCE must be CCE SP v2.50 or v2.66.07
Do not forget put the line "resampleaudio(44100)" at the end of the script, too!

well if you have avisynth installed and the mpeg2dec plugin all you have to do is create a text file with the lines

loadplugin("path\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("path\movie.d2v")
resampleaudio(44100)

and then rename it to .avs
you could use like c3d or something to clean up the source since you're re-encoding, but you dont have to. Just load it into CCE 2.5 or 2.66 like htc said and then set up the encode how you want

Don't forget re-encoding is just a temporary solution. Upgrade your player is the solution of your life!
Sure you can take it as a learning proccess(for encoding). But only for learning.
