Using Canopus Procoder for VCD creation

vcd_pat · Dec 1, 2002

Can anyone tell me how, or point me to any kind of tutorial to create VCD's with Canopus' Procoder? I have the software but even the help file doesn't tell you how to make compliant files, just how to convert mpg's

- perhaps i'm not looking hard enough but if the application is as good as it is made out to be I'd like to try it

thanks.

"Add" your video file you want ro convert
then go to Target and hit "Add" a new window will opens and select...."MPEG1 VCD PAL" or "NTSC"
then double click on the target file to open the settings (Setup - Video - Audio Filters - Target file Spliting- speed- Quality......)

Denexo, thanks for your help but i don't want to convert a file. I want to know if it's possible to create VCD standard MPG files WITH Procoder by loading VOB files into it? I don't see the point of converting MPG files with this program as they are most likely to already be VCD compliant. I guess this program is great if used with a capture card, no? But I don't have one of those... i just heard that it creates the best VCD compliant MPG's available if time is not an issue. Any more info please?

rename vob/s to mpeg

then do what Denexo says

I am not sour if I understand you.
You want to create a vcd without converting?
Procoder is an encoder – converter and not to create!
You can’t load vob files direct but you can use a video server plug-in or you can rename the vob file(s) to mpeg to load into it!

You'd better use something faster and "cheaper".

mainconcept encoder ?

I know many people starting from myself, who will agree with you about "faster and cheaper" but disagree about Procoder´s quality.

there is no doubt that procoder makes better quality vcds than tmpgenc.
But for the amount of extra time taken u could have done the movie twice withh cce as svcd , which is of much higher quality than any procoder vcd.
If u only do 1 vcd everyother day and dont use your pc for anything else then procoder is the best.
If not............
