DVD2SVCD Question......... (AVI2SVCD)

[jcovercash]

OK I have been converting some home made movies of my and my friends with DVD2SVCD. I have the movies edited and saved as .avi files.....

I want to conver them to MPEG2 format so that I can make an SVCD movie to give to my friends and family so they can play them on their DVD players.

I have been using DVD2SVCD or rather AVI2SVCD...... It has been taking around 1 hr to convert each of my movies, I have 10 More to do, and need help for the future when I edit the remaining movies.

Basically what I want to do is have AVI2SVCD make a query of the files to be converted and convert them while I am at work that way I dont have to come back to my PC every hour and start a new one, or wait till i get home, which will end up taking me 5 days to do (1 before work and one when I get home, since it takes most of my PC to do this I can't really use it while its converting....)


Is there any way I can do this.... I have tried the method where you start one then cancel it and then edit and load the command line version of the software, but that would always frezze after 1 movie, so please dont suggest this unless you can give me a REALLY good guide for it.


Thanks for your help,
Josh

I suggest you use TMPGEnc instead.

You can setup a batch encode project easier than you can check your email

Highly recommended :beer:

You can download TMPGEnc here > http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html

hmm, ive had no issues with TMPGEnc, but i did have to extract the sound to wav before encoding them to work.

Your framerate problems sound related to the wrong encoding format (PAL NTSC etc), it is a common thing when you are trying to encode to PAL from an NTSC vid file and vica versa.

http://www.dvdrhelp.com has some REALLY good guides on what to do and what your problems could be.

there's an option to batch the file when you hit "Go" in Dvd2Svcd, no?

 

[jcovercash]

Its there but it is greyed out.

hmm, I thought dvd2svcd makes a batch file every time, nm

Btw, have you have tried this forum?

Yea, someone there at doom9 should know since the guy who wrote dvd2svcd hangs out there.
