This
tutorial contains 2 things that will increase the quality
of your video. One of which, is the discovery that half D1
resolution is compatible. The other is that a an SVCD is burned
in the same modes as a VCD which is giving the disc higher
capacity, and since the SVCD is size based unlike the VCD,
it can use the full 744MB that is avalible in that mode. These
2 ideas, especially the second, are not to be copied into
any other tutorial without my permission, since i am the only
person with this information, it will be quite obvious you
copied! Read through this entire tutorial before beginning.
Copy
the IFO closest to the video VOBs (those big 1GB ones and
the smaller one after it) and the video VOBs to your hard
drive.
Open
the IFO file in VOB Util and extract all the segments to a
new folder
Pick
an audio bit rate, 128, 224 or 384 are some choices, 384 is
excessive for stereo!
Open
graphedit insert the VOB from the insert filters menu under
the direct show sub structure. You need to specify the source,
which is File Writer (Async.), then connect that to the splitter
named MPEG-2 Splitter, then the ac3 out to the Intervideo
Audio Decoder, then the WAV Dest to the file writer (destination
wav).
Use
this formula to calculate the video bit rate:
S*1024*8-(T*A)/T=B
S=
Target size in MB. For a 74min disc use 740MB. For a 80min
disc use 820MB. For a 99min disc use 990MB. Then multiply
that space times the number of discs your using (2CD is now
reccommended, 3 for best quality! and 4 isnt possible :)
T=
The length of the video in seconds
A=
The audio bit rate shown above
B=
The target bit rate (the formula produces this, you don’t
enter it)
For
example, a 2 hour movie targeted for 2 cds with a 224 audio
bit rate would be:
1480*1024*8-(7200*224)/7200=1460
(round down)
3CD
2hr:
2220*1024*8-(7200*224)/7200=2301
(since rempeg2 is vbr, never aim over 2.1mbit, or 2100kbit..)
NOTE:
Keep in mind scientific calculators will calculate multiplication
and division first, skipping addition or subtraction, if you
get a number that’s bigger then 4 digits to the left of the
decimal point, you screwed up!
Go
ahead and ReMPEG2 each VOB extracted at the calcualted bitrate
with half D1 resolution (352x480NTSC, 352x576PAL)
NOTE:
The current ReMPEG2 version does not have support for Constant
Bit Rate (CBR) so the bit rate will vary in the output m2v,
DO NOT EXPECT 100% ACCURACY IN CALCULATIONS
Open
the WAVs in QDesign, then press the transcode settings, be
sure to convert it to MPEG Layer II at the desired bitrate
with a .mp2 extension. Do this for each WAV, you can delete
the WAVs when done, and if you havnt already, the original
vobs.
You
now need to split the m2v's and mp2's into CD's. Add as many
pairs of m2v and mp2s together (in order) till they equal
about 648 for 74min cdrs, 820 for 80min, 990 for 99min.
Use
DV Tool to merge all the m2vs in each CD together, followed
by the mp2s, remember to keep order..
Rename
all m2v's to mpv's.
Use
I-Author multiplexer to multiplex all the mp2's and mpv's.
It may give a max bit rate error, ignore it. You should have
a mps for each CD. (You can delete the m2v's and mp2s at this
point if needed)
Load
I-Author use the mps as the start play list, use a dummy 480x480
or 480x576 (for PAL) blank bmp for the menu. Make the menu
then make play list item1 the first mps, item2 the second
mps, item3 the third mps, ect. Click finish and select create
disc image, repeat for each CD.
Burn
with Easy CD Creator
The
interactive SVCD menu
Since
the instructions given were not only confusing, but inaccurate
to what a real SVCD menu is i have removed this temporarily
while a new one is being made using completely different methods.
Subtitles:
Although
it has been deturmined how to make the subtitles (Without
entering time index), the coder I am working with is still
working, once he is finished he will publish his results as
I provide instructions on how to.
