Windows 2000 with Direct X 9 installed
Soyo K7V Dragon Plus MB With Athlon XP 1500+ CPU
512mb Crucial Ram
ATI 32mb All In Wonder Radeon 4x AGP Video Card
Audigy Platinum
TDK 40/12/48x CDRW
Recording to a 120GB Maxtor ATA 133 Hard Drive with 8mb cache

Goal: to create SVCD's (at least 30 minutes in length if possible)from my concert videotape collection to play on my stand alone JVC DVD Audio/Video player.

Programs: ATI MMC 7.7, Ulead Video Studio 6 SE DVD Nero Burning Rom 5.5
Downloaded & installed: Virtual Dub,VCDEasy,TMPENC,DVD2SVCD,AVI2mpg2,Boilsoft AVI to SVCD, FlaskMpeg.

Guides from DVD Digest & DVDRHelp.

I can get high quality captures wih my ATI card.When using the mpeg settings for capture the file is saved as .mp2 file which has to be converted with another program. I've been able to use TMPENC to do this but I've had problems with the audio being out of sync.

I haven't had much success with capture quality with Ulead Video Studio > using the MMC program I did successfully burn one SVCD using the standard ATI SVCD settings > audio was great > picture sucked. I read one guide that said to capture at 480x480 usng VBR, 15MB/sec & 100% motion detection. This produced a huge file where I would only be able to fit one song on a cdr. Not sure what I did but when I put in my DVD player > it wouldn't work properly.

What I would like to know is in what format should I doing my video capture, the size (480x480,720x480?)and the bitrate that would give me the best capture & at least 30 minutes
of playing time on a cdr. Also what programs to use.

Any suggestions/links will be appreciated!

Thank's.

I don't know if I can be of much help because I've just got a new dv camera myself and started converting my video capture to svcd's. So it might be like the blind leading the blind, but I'll try. I've been capturing in both SVCD and dvd resolutions, dvd is 720 X 576 (480 ntsc) and I'm using a firewire connection(which I hear is fairly lossless)to my pc. I'm using pinnacle studio 8, which a dedicated dv to vcd/svcd/dvd editor. I haven't had any problems so far. You should be able to do a similar thing with microsoft movie maker,which is a free download from microsoft(but I don't know if it outputs to svcd). if you just want to convert,and not edit as well, of the programs you listed I'm only familar with the frontend dvd2svcd(and all the programs it uses,TMPEG,etc). the newest version of this program has different inputs and output setting, and can be set to convert dv to SVCD,it's pretty easy to use, once you've read some guides, and it automates all the steps. just remember to have the a/v sync option to 2 or more if you have audio sync problems. As far as capture problems go and setting,etc you might want to try posting on the video/dv forum. Hope I helped(but probably didn't!) good luck.

Finally had some success late yesterday. Followed some guides from Lord Smurf.com & one other regarding converting the .mp2 files (that the ATI MMC saves the capture as)into a usable format > changed the priority of one of the codecs in TMPENC > (solving the audio sync problem)> now able to Demux & remux the files & have have used DVDX2.2 to make the files into a standard SVCD file & burned with VCD Easy. Now that I've done one successfully I will play around a little more. I have lots of concert video stuff I'd like to put on SVCD.

Thank's.
