needed to put a 2 45 minute xvids on a couple CDs to play in the DVD player hooked up to a 16x9 widescreen.
Used Avidemux. Super easy. :w00t: http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/
I just chose "Auto/VCD" and it set up the reduction in scale, vid, and sound codec. A 45 minute DVD rez xvid was reduced to 352 x 240 and 428.3 MB. Turned out pretty good, althought I forgot to turn off the automatic "black bars" which are a little annoying on the big screen. Played fine. I just burned the file to CD as my player doesnt need an actual VCD format disk.
So the second one, I do the automatic thing, remove the black bar filter on the video, and tried to resize, as why not use all the data on the CD. Well, I guesstimated about 66% of original size, then let it run a few minutes, then tested it, and the video was all wappyjawed and garbled.
Any suggestions? Im pretty happy with VCD quality w/o the black bar filter, but it seems a shame to reduce the rez so much to make it work, especially when theres room on the CD.
make it into SVCD :) higher res :)
maybe get a 90min CD next time & stich the vcds together :-D
Or convert them to DVD - VCD2SVCD we have for windoze
Ah yes, there was an SVCD option. Whoops. No DVD burner so CD will do for the occasional burn. ;)
Total Video Converter is quite good even converts flashmovies from youtube if interested give me a PM ;)
