how to determine the correct bitrate?

[mobius80]

sorry about this, still confused after reading forums, and the guide. in dvd2svcd where u have to select the bitrate, on the bottom is where i enter what i want it to be, but i dont understand this "min average" and "max average", when choosing the values, it could be either too low, or too high (and yes i know about the side bar recommendations for each movie lenght) but i just dont understand how to determine the correct min and max bitrate.

example: my movie is 90min long, so in my opinion.. i would do this:

MinAvg: 2100 MaxAvg:2300

but maybe i could make them both higher a bit to get better picture? is there anyway to determine the exact range i should use?

thanks for the time and effort to help

Max Average is how high the bitrate can go on an average and Minimum Average is how low the bitrate can go on an average. Max is so it'll stay in SVCD standards and minimum is so the low motion scenes wont go too low and get really bloxy or poor. As well as some players have a problem with the minimum average is too low. It'll stall or other various problems. The default is pretty good with DVD2SVCD. BTW, I do believe you are posting in the wrong forum for DVD2SVCD. It's up a bit.
