Is it possible to get DVD2SVCD to function with MainConcept's MPEG Encoder, as I personally prefer it over CCE for 'my' needs

Is there much hope of seeing this encoder added to DVD2SVCD's encoders list in future versions ??

Thanks

Is it possible to get DVD2SVCD to function with MainConcept's MPEG Encoder Just off the top of my head, you could do a workaround, but first

1> are you PAL or NTSC?
2> Can MC directly load an avs script?
3> Are you using DVD2SVCD or AVI2SVCD?

I'm on a PAL system (UK), but the files I have are in both PAL and NTSC

Not sure if MainConcept can load an AVS script

Mainly need AVI2SVCD(DVD)

Thanks


Then again, I would use CCE, but whenever I convert a source file to DVD PAL/NTSC 4:3, I end up with a very nasty 'squiggly' interference running along the bottom of the output video stream, unless I use VCD dimensions, which I don't really want to. Along with a lovely square border around the output, instead of full screen output like MC does, fiddled with various settinsg, and read the docs for advice as well

And yes, that is keeping the output as the source. So if its a PAL source, its a PAL output, same with NTSC, I can play both on my DVD player

So, just guessing, it has to do with scaling, if the video input is less than DVD dimensions, but MC doesn't do this at all, which is why I prefer it over CCE



Thanks again
