Okay, I have DVD2SVCD and I have TMPGE Plus. I realize these are the two tools needed to make an SVCD. I have downloaded and properly installed the templates needed for TMPGE to create a KVCD. However, I'm still getting TMPGE's default settings when I do a Rip and Convert in DVD2SVCD. Because of that, I'm making 2 disc SVCDs, which isn't what I want.
Why can't this be easy? It's simple really.. I have to backup my DVDs to a KVCD. I want to fit the entire movie on one disc.
No offense, but doing this is doomed to fail. VCD was merely OK in it's day, which has long since passed. Whether you use KVCD or any other template, it's going to take hour upon hour of TMPGEnc encoding and your final film crammed down to one CD will look like ass.
DVD is just so much better, and it's no more expensive. The cost of a CD is definitely less, but with DVD you are getting 6x the amount of space for only 2x the price. If you were using DVD you could cram two movies onto a disc, get far better quality than a tiny Mpeg1, and it only costs you about 30-35 cents if you get a good media sale on Sunday at Best Buy. Also, a program like DVD Shrink could reduce those movies to fit onto a DVD in less time than it would take TMPGEnc to encode one movie into a nasty looking Mpeg1.
My advice is to go to ebay and buy an older DVD writer like an NEC 2500a for $15 if you're strapped for cash, and move into DVD. You wont regret it.
