this program is an *.avi to videocd 2.0 compliant mpeg encoder. it


generates 3 variation of formats for videocd, ntsc, pal, and film. the
input avi files must conform to one of the following formats:

ntsc:
horzontal width: 176-720 (352 preferred)
vertical height: 240 or 480
frames per second: 27.5 or higher (29.97 preferred)
colour depth: 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits (24 or 32 bits preferred)
audio sample rate: 44.100 khz
audio channels: stereo
audio format: pcm (uncompressed)

pal:
horzontal width: 176-720 (352 preferred)
vertical height: 288 or 576
frames per second: 1 or higher (25 preferred)
colour depth: 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits (24 or 32 bits preferred)
audio sample rate: 44.100 khz
audio channels: stereo
audio format: pcm (uncompressed)

film:
horzontal width: 176-720 (352 preferred)
vertical height: 240 or 480
frames per second: 1 to 27.5 (23.976 preferred)
colour depth: 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits (24 or 32 bits preferred)
audio sample rate: 44.100 khz
audio channels: stereo
audio format: pcm (uncompressed)

to install avi2vcd, copy the avi2vcd.exe file to a convienient location on


your hard drive, possibly c:\windows or c:\winnt. you may create a shortcut
to avi2vcd on your desktop.

double click on the shortcut. type the full pathname of your input avi into
the "source avi file" box, or use "browse" to select your source file. the
target file defaults to the same name as you source, with a .mpg extension,
located in the same directory as your source file, but you may edit this
path. press "encode" and wait.

note that avi2vcd does not generate any intermediate or temporary files. the
avi is encoded in one step, both audio and video, to an mpeg.

problems:

if you have problems with avi2vcd, please send me a note detailing the
problem. include a copy of the encoding log. avi2vcd creates an encoding log
by using the same name as your source file with the extension .log and places
it into the same directory as your source file. i.e. if your source file was
"simpsons.avi" then the log file is "simpsons.log". the log files contains
details which will help debug the problem.

this release of avi2vcd may have bugs or limitations.


planned future enhancements are:

- support for a wider variety of input videos, with variable vertical sizes.

- support for 48khz audio

- add the ability to accept mono audio

- multiple input avi's to one mpeg

- user adjustable advanced properties

encoding tips:

try to capture your video at the highest data rate your computer is capable of. if
you have
sufficient disk space, captureuncompressed. if you must use compression, use as
little as
possible. generally 4:1 compression or less when applied to a clean, noisefree
video will
still result in an acceptable mpeg video. capture your video at a resolution that
is close
to the final mpeg resolution, i.e. if you are going to create a videocd at ntsc
resolution (352x240x29.97fps), capture at 352x240x29.97fps. if your capture card
cannot capture at
352x240, but can capture at 320x240 or 640x480, use 320x240. there is no advantage
to
capturing at 640x480 from television or video tape whose horizontal resolution
does not
exceed 300 lines. even though avi2vcd will accept a wide variety of frame rates in
the input
video, you will get best results if your input video is captured at exactly the
same frame
rate as that of the videocd format type your are going to encode, i.e. 23.976 fps
for film,
25 fps for pal, and 29.97 for ntsc.
