First of all I'm very sorry if this has been answered before, I have done a search but haven't come across anything which appears to be related to my specific problem (I can't be the only one can I!!!)
OK here's the background:
I have numerous SVCD's which I want to be able to play on a PS2 (I don't currently have a standalone player, I also haven't posted this in the PS2 forum as it is an encoding question I have), as 99% of you probably know the PS2 will not play SVCD's so I need to re-encode them to DVD compliant MPEG2 streams and increase the resolution from 480x480 to 720x480.
Please excuse the length of this as I am going to try and give as much detail as possible about what I am trying to do and what I have already done.
Programs used:
tmpgenc 2.57.41.146
CCE SP 2.50
DVD2AVI 1.77.3
BeSweet 1.14
VFAPIconv 1.04
Bitrate Viewer 1.5.054
I want to be able to use CCE to create the video stream as it produces better results than tmpgenc (IMHO) but mainly because it's about 5 times faster, I have used dvd2avi to create a project and extract the audio from the svcd, which I have then converted to ac3 using BeSweet.
I then used VFAPIconv to convert the dvd2avi project into a file that CCE can open.
The above all works fine and I know how to set up CCE to do the encoding however my problem is I don't appear to be able to resize the svcd in CCE to 720x480 so the resulting stream is still not DVD compliant.
The original svcd is NTSC 29 fps.
What I'm basically asking for is help to get CCE to resize, whether it can be done in CCE itself or whether I need to use avisynth etc first (I have no knowledge of how to use avisynth or where to get it as the only link I have found is dead).
I know tmpgenc can do all of this on it's own but the resulting encodes have been awful and take over 7 hours on my admittedly poor Athlon 1GHz.
Again I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong place or if it's been asked before but I have read loads of guides and forums and none of them seem to deal with this specific question.
TIA for any replies and help anybody can give this has been driving me nuts
