DVD Burning - The Final Lesson
MediaMan
Powered by loose parts.
Super Video CDs are a fantastic way to compile a movie from any number of video sources and formats to a format which is able to play back on most set top DVD players without the necessity of a CD burner. As I have no CD burner myself, one can see how valuable this technique is for me. Such a method has also helped me evolve the production of multiple video technologies, included but not limited to: DiVX©, XViD, DVD, VCD, SVCD, XSVCD, XVCD, KVCD, KSVCD, and CVD.

And the section that should go before the SVCD hack:
<b>Correcting Video Sizes for SVCD:</b>
You'll most likely find that the end result of your encoding is too large to be burned. In this scenario, one may simply open the MPEG tools in TMPGenc and click on the merge and cut tab.
1) If you have two SVCDs, as your source was a two-file DiVX/XViD: Proceed to add both files to the window and select "MPEG-2 Super VideoCD (VBR) from the drop down list at the top. Once you have done this and made sure that the files are in the proper order (File 1 is first, File 2 is second, et cetera) select your output (Something like xxxxxxxxx-JOINED.mpg) and hit run. Now that you have joined the files together, check to make sure it works, particularly at the few minutes before and after the point where the file was joined. Once you have done this, clear the contents of the "Merge and Cut" tab and add your new joined file. Select it, and click the EDIT button. Now, begin chopping the video up into 45 minute sections. First by selecting 00:00:00 as the starting point, and then setting 00:45:00 as the ending point. Once this is done, hit OK and name your new output something logical (You should notice that it now says it's only splitting 45 minutes of the file in the root window). Your second section should be from 00:44:50 to 01:30:00, as you want 10 seconds of overlap each time you create a new section after the first disc.
2) Select "MPEG-2 Super VideoCD (VBR) from the drop down list at the top. If you have a single SVCD, as your source was a single-file DiVX/XViD click browse and add this file to the window. Once this is done, click on the file you just added and click "Edit." Now begin to chop it into sections first by selecting 00:00:00 as the starting point, and then setting 00:45:00 as the ending point. Once this is done, hit OK and name your new output something logical (You should notice that it now says it's only splitting 45 minutes of the file in the root window). If it says this, click run and wait for it to split. Now work on your second section. Your second section should be from 00:44:50 to 01:30:00, as you want 10 seconds of overlap each time you create a new section after the first disc. Continue doing this until all the files are split, and all the files are anything less than 730mb.
Dammit.
I need to have pictures for this. MM, is there any way you can edit the article tonight, or a way I can get some webspace in a flash for pictures and HTML? I don't have immediate access to my main computer to edit the guide.
Tasty.
