THE HOME BREWED VCD --- RIP

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

22 July 2000 - after a collision with Build 12 of the SVCD optioned TMPGEnc encoder the standard VCD in all its forms, except HVCD, has been or is about to be laid to rest.

Encoder casualties as a result of the head on crash included, LSX in all its current forms, Panasonic because they have failed to support Mpeg-2 and the slow non adjustable for speed bbMPEG that lead the way initially (the only one that gave truely interlaced compliant SVCD files in DV type 1 PAL).

Many providers such as Heuris have suffered the same fate, the cause, no support for SVCD and no support for the firewire DV type 1 avi (up to a 4G size with W98SE) to allow direct feeding of the encoder without rendering to another DV VfW compatible codec in 2G chunks.

Due to non support of the SVCD format burner software casualties are also high, only Nero 5+ and NTI have survived todays crash.

This notice has been inserted on behalf of all those who are NLE based and trying to use firewire DV Type 1 as the basis of "VCD" authoring. A new era with outstanding quality has finaly arrived with the beta TMPGEnc Build 12 and Tools Package (Japanese), the English version is awaited with anticipation.

Stay tuned for developements and a new page "Firewire SVCD's":
