I got the Star Trek The next Generation Series and wanted to encode them. (PAL Region 4)
I found the easiest way to put each DVD on 2 CDR disks with good quality as follows if anyone is interested:
Used DVD Decrypter in file mode and selected all the main Vobs
eg. Should be 8 main Vobs to select in DVD Decrypter.
Then deleted all IFO's & Bups etc so only have 8 Vobs in 1 dir.
Renamed Vobs like VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB etc right up to VTS_01_8.VOB.
Ran IFO Edit & selected "Create IFOs" which recreated all the other files needed for DVD2SVCD.
Now when I load up in DVD2SVCD it sees all the eposides. I have a total time now of over 2 hours with 32 chapters.
The chapters don't seem to work in the final result, so I select Fixed chapters of 300 secs in the CD Image Tab. Which gives me 17 chapters per CD.
I set the Bitrate Tab to fit 2CD's of 800MB. (Can be down to individual here)
I use CCE 2.5 for encoding with 1 change from normal: set Deinterlace Tab to "Blendfields"
I also set Audio to 128 as the quality of sound is not the best to start with.
Results seem to excellent very close to original.
Tried TMPGEnc & always got jerkiness or other problems.
"Blendfields" setting with CCE seems to be the trick with these DVD's.
