How to convert avi to dvd format and vcd format? (fasted method )
- Thread starter dave25
- Start date
Load the first avi into VirtualDUBMod, then Append the second one. Set Video to Direct Stream Copy, then save AVI. Check for sync in the last 1/2 of the final avi though.BlahDVD said:

BlahDVD, talking about TMD moviez
I have successfully converted/encoded, authored, and burned well over 100 of them.
If you have specific questions about how to do that, I can probably help.
Here's some general info:
Do not use DVD2SVCD. It (CCE and avisynth) will crap out on the 14.985fps rate and attempt to use 23.975 resulting in fast moving video, and everyone sounds like the chipmunks.
Join the files in virtualdub if you are going to make dvd's. Use a low compression codec such as huffyuv. DivX and Xvid only as last resort, on highest bitrate settings. The quality is already poor, why make it worse? Frameserv directly to your encoder if at all possible. Use mpeg 2 audio, not LPCM. 224kbps is overkill, and 128 works just fine in most cases.
Let the encoder look after fps conversion. Tmpgenc does a decent job on 2pass VBR, and the resulting video isn't jerky, however it does get blocky.
I prefer to use Mainconcept, even single pass, produces a better mpeg.
Author in HalfD1. No point in enlarging the video to Full D1 when the original is only VCD size (352x240).
Do not crop any audio, even if the audio appears longer than the video when demuxed in your authoring program. Very often these movies have 2 or 3 seconds of audio before the video actually starts, however they are full of blank/black frames, and if edited, will produce an out of sync result.
No point in wasting disk space either. Encode to SVCD spec, and burn 3 full movies to one dvdr. You need a good authoring program to do that though, I'm not sure if TMPGEnc DVD Author can do it.
Hope this helps.

Could also just throw in ChangeFPS(23.976) in AVISynth which will simply dupe frames to make up the 23.976fps.
Could also use ConvertFPS(23.976) seeing as how you will be converting to YUY2 anyway.
For details on convertfps() and changefps() see the AVISynth docs.
Seriously though I would suggest that you just download the original release with full framerate. The more times you re-encode something, the worse the quality gets, especially when dropping half the frames.
