ok this is my first time posting here and I have never had any experience authoring VCD's or SVCD's and I am in extreme need of some help. I have been looking all over the internet trying to figure out how to do it and downloading all sorts of programs all with no luck. So i would be forever in debt if someone were to guide me through the process!!!! I have a whole bunch of Xvid files that i want to be able to make into SVCDs, what do i do...

Other possibility is DVD2SVCD program bundle, its pretty easy 2 use.

but can you put Xvid files onto a VCD? for some reason i got the impression that with Xvid it has to be a SVCD... thanks for replying so fast i appreciate it, this is turning into one of those things that is gonna be in the back of my mind constantly until i figure it out!

Although I would recommend TMPGEnc for the beginner, you may find this link helpful. I've used this method for awhile now, and it's probably the best way to go. This tutorial is pretty well written too.

Hope that helps!

ronchipur: You can convert xvid to VCD but the quality would be pretty bad. SVCD's are just much better quality than VCD. Stick to SVCD.

I would say that's a generally true statement. However, Xvid and Divx are not locked in at any single standard resolution; so if you get a particularly poor quality Divx, it isn't going to give you any better result going with SVCD as opposed to VCD. Garbage in, Garbage out. This is also mentioned in the tutorial I linked to:
Quote:
If the width is less than 480, I would also suggest you not continue. The quality of these AVI's are poor and converting to a SVCD will only yield poor results. Convert these to VCD instead.
But as I said, you generally will want to make svcd's as most are sort of optimized to do just that.
