I think you'll find Nero will automatically convert the video into MPEG 1 format, which is used for VCD. Meanwhile, if you want to make a higher quality SVCD you will need a plugin or program (like TMPGEnc) to convert the video to MPEG 2.

There are some awesome guides availible at www.doom9.org : For all your conversion needs. Goodluck.

if you use nero to encode you are foolish. It is not very good at all, alot of video's video & audio go out of sync when you use nero. It is alot better & faster to use tmpgenc or something similar.

I noticed that too. I suggested Nero just in case he was a novice.

hehe damn n00bs. The tmpgenc wizard should be easy enough for them!

I use ULEAD VideoEditor. It reduces the screen size by 10% but there is no loss of MPEG quality whatsoever when converting to S/VCD. Is 10% screen reduction worth it? Up to you.

this is incorrect. Any type of encoding results in loss of some quality.

the best way to not lose any quality is to get a divx/xvid player or a dvd player that can play divx/xvid :uhhuh:

Yeh I find that ripping a dvd movie is done best by converting it into a .avi using the DivX plugin. Absolutely amazing quality for the file size. I once placed 3 dual-layered dvd movies into one 4.7 GB dvd. Of course I had to remove all the extras but if watching it on computers is your goal, this is the best way.

I think someone missed the point of this thread.

meh cant you just burn the .mpeg file on a cd as data and just dump it in a vcd/dvd player... works for me.

if u think divx is good, you might want to check out xvid

 

[AntiHyper]

is xVid also free?

 

[Krangelus]

yes. Xvid is more free than divx
