SVCD now works great with 3.4

[DAustin18]

After upgrading to 3.4, I was VERY happy to find that the previous issue of not being able to record audio to 44kHz has been resolved. Now I can use my Win-TV 250 PVR to record in a SVCD format, and burn straight to CD without having to re-encode or re-multiplex.

I just take my file straight to ULead DVD movie factory (free with Win-TV 250), edit out commercials, and burn to SVCD. Couldn't do it before because of 3.3 bugs recoding to 48kHz. The time it takes from when I load Ulead to the time I have a burnt CD is about 10 minutes.

SVCD recording profile I use:
VBR: 2200000
audio freq: 44.1kHz
dimensions: 480x480

Thanks!

That's great news!

I have a question, though....how many minutes can you squeeze into the settings you described? Only way I know of getting an hourlong show (about 49 minutes after editing out commercials) is to use a CBR bitrate calculator on dvdrhelp.com, and to use that bitrate in the setup.

Will DVD Movie factory split it up onto 2 CD's if it's too big?

How's the quality look?

Not sure how many minutes I can cram on a CD, but I know an edited hour long show will fit with my settings. I've been recording Law and Order (my goal is to get all 300+ episodes!), cutting the commercials, and it fits nicely on a CD. Movie Factory gives me a warning that the show might not fit on the CD, but it always does.

Glad to know this is working in 3.4 - it's something I've wanted because it worked so great in WinDVR with my old Nvidia Personal Cinema setup.

I use nero for burning and want to get back to doing as you are with just burning without any re-encoding etc.

Would you please post a picture/screen capture of your complete settings? Or maybe list everything from Audio, Video and Hardware Encoder Settings - it would save me some trial and error.

Thanks in advance.
