Hello, An advice on how to re-encode two XVID/DIVX to SVCD's as efficiently as possible would be very much appreciated. Using the mencvcd script (in the TOOLS directory of mplayer-cvs) every XVID image generates more than one (or one if you are lucky) SVCD image due to the different compression efficiencies. For example 2 DIVX files could instead of 4 SVCD's be reduced to 3 if done properly. Different alternatives are possible: (other unimportant stuff omitted here) 1. cat 1.avi 2.avi > total.avi mencvcd -vnorm p -a 2 -svcdout total.avi 2. mplayer -vo yuv4mpeg -ao pcm | yuvscaler -O SVCD cat 1.mpv 2.mpw > total.mpv cat 1.wav 2.wav > total.wav mp2enc -b 224 -r 44100 -o total.mpa < total.wav mplex -f 4 -o total.mpg total.mpa total.mpv vcdimager -t svcd -c total.cue -b total.bin total.mpg 3. other alternatives? Any issues with audio/video synch? Which methods preserves the synch and which metods don't? What if the video/audio rates/encoding/etc differs? Thanks, Svante
