How to convert a DivX / AVI / ASF / MPEG to VCD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This is the best method I have used to convert DivX, AVI, ASF
or MPEG files to a compliant VideoCD that can be played on
PC's, PSX Movie adaptors and all standalone VCD & DVD players
that can play CDR's. The quality of the final VCD is dependant
on the quality of what you are converting. As the old saying
goes, garbage in, garbage out!



Software you will or may need:

This is all available from the Download sections of cdrsoft.cc
or from the links indicated:

1. DivX Codec 4.12 or later, if converting DivX files. (d/l
from h**p://www.divx.com )

2. Nero 5.5.x (d/l fully functional demo from
h**p://www.ahead.de )

3. TMPGEnc 2.5 + VFAPI Plugin or later (d/l from
h**p://www.tmpgenc.net )

4. bbMPEG 1.24 if needed ( d/l from
h**p://members.home.net/beyeler/bbmpeg.html )

5. VirtualDUB 1.4.8 or 1.3c if needed ( d/l from
h**p://www186.pair.com/vdub/ )


You will also need a Computer with:


* Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000 or XP installed.

* A Pentium II 200 MMX or equivalent as a minimum.

* At least 64meg memory

* A CD Rom player (any speed)

* Hard drive with at least 3-4 gb and preferably in one
partition.

* WinZip to extract the files above.

* A CDR(W) Burner to produce the VideoCD and a couple of good
quality CDR's or CDRW's

* A sound card to check the finished product.



Tips before we get started:

* Turn OFF your Screen Saver, it will simply slow the
conversion down by hours.

* Do not run any other program in the background while TMPGEnc
is running, especially if you have a slower computer.

* Turn the screens colour depth to 16bit colour or better.

* Re-boot the computer just BEFORE you start the ripping, in
this way you have the best conditions as possible.



So you have downloaded the software and checked that you have
the right stuff in your computer. Sounds good, then lets get
stuck into it!



Step 1: Getting Ready.


1. Install DivX Codec, only needed if converting a DivX (AVI)
movie.

2. Install TMPGEnc by simply copying its files to a folder.
Copy the VFAPI files to the same folder and run the
Install.bat file.

3. Install Nero.



Step 2: Conversion.

1. Copy the DivX, AVI, ASF or MPEG file to your hard drive. If
you dont have the room, then it can be read from the CDROM but
this will slow down the conversion and wear out your CD-ROM
player at the same time!

2. Run Windows Media Player and load and playback the movie.
Hit Alt-F4 to full screan and note if its Full Screen 4:3,
16:9 or widescreen 2.3:1. Exit

2. Run TMPGEnc. Go to File / New Project and click OK to clear
the program of any previous settings.

2. Now for your Video source, Browse to your file you wish to
convert. The Audio source will automatically be filled with
same file name and a suggested Output Filename. Change this if
you prefer.

3. If you check the bottom task bar of TMPGEnc it will give
the parameters of the file you just imported. Check the Frames
Per Second - fps. If its 25 fps then its PAL, if 29.97fps then
its NTSC and if 23.976 then its FILM. So now click Load and
load the appropriate VideoCD template. For a PAL conversion,
the task bar will then look like:

Video-CD PAL (MPEG-1 352x288 25fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2
44100Hz 224kbps)


4. Hit Settings button and under Video tab, change Motion
Search Precision to Highest Quality (very slow). As the name
suggests, this will give the best quality conversion. Hit
Advanced Tab and double click the Audio Effect button, tick
Change Volume box then hit the Normalize button. Leave at
default 100 and click OK. It will now search through the audio
stream and suggest a final %. Select OK

5. Change Source Aspect Ratio to the Video Type and Aspect
Ratio you noted back when you ran the movie in Windows Media
Player. For example, select 16:9 625 Line (PAL) for a normal
wide-screen PAL movie or 4:3 625 Line (PAL) for a full screen
PAL movie. Make sure Video Arrange Method is set at Full
Screen (Keep Aspect Ratio).

6. If you want to convert a 16:9 movie into a full screen 4:3
movie by removing the black bars at the top and bottom of the
picture, we have to clip off the left and right side of the
picture. Change Source Aspect Ratio to 4:3 625 Line (PAL) ( or
4:3 525 Line (NTSC) for NTSC movie) and Video Arrange Method
is set to Center (Custom Size). Then in the 2 small boxes
enter 448 x 288 for PAL ( 448 x 240 for NTSC). This will keep
the movie to the correct aspect ratio but at full screen. You
may have to play with these numbers to keep the picture in
correct ratio as almost anything goes with DivX.

7. If you want to convert a 2.3:1 wide-screen movie to a 16:9
movie, then set as per Point 6 above, but, in the 2 small
boxes enter 448 x 288 for PAL ( 448 x 224 for NTSC). Sometimes
I have found I have to enter 448 x 372 or 400 x 256 for PAL (
? for NTSC) to keep the correct aspect ratio. You may need to
alter then further so if in doubt, do a small test run first
and look for round objects that should stay round.
NOTE: All the numbers should ALWAYS be dividable by 16 or edge
distortion will occur.

8. Click the GOP Structure tab and change the GOP structure to
read 1 4 2 for PAL and 1 5 2 for NTSC or FILM.

9. Leave all the other settings alone. Hit OK.

10. All is now ready to start the conversion, so hit Start
button and the encoding will begin. This can take 5 to 10
hours or more depending on the length of movie, your computer
speed and other movie parameters. Go to Options/Task Priority
and set to When Active - High Priority. This speeds up the
conversion by 5-10%. So turn the monitor off and go to bed.
Wake up Neo and all should be done.

11. You will now have a new file on your HD, about 600meg for
every hour of movie. One big *.MPG file made up of both the
Video and Audio streams and in VCD format.

12. Its now time to check that the Video and Audio are
syncronised. Double click on the *.MPG file from Explorer and
Windows Media Player will play your new movie. Check near the
start, middle and near the end. If all is okay then jump to
Step 4: Cutting.



Step 3: Fixing Video / Audio Synconization.

1. Run TMPGEnc and click on File and then MPEG Tools. Go to
the Simple De-Muliplex tab. For Input, Browse to your new MPG
file and the Audio and Output files will automatically be
named. Rename the Video Output file from *.M1V to *.MPV. Also,
rename the Audio Output name from *.MP2 to *.MPA Now hit Run
and the 2 files will be created within a few minutes.

2. Run bbMPEG (avi2mpeg). Select START ENCODING and then
select SETTINGS. In General Settings tab, both Muliplexing
Video & Audio should be ticked. Enter the size of your CDR in
Max Size box. In the Input & Output Files tab click Open PS
and enter the Filename of the new MPG file. In Open VS, select
your Video file, the *.MPV In Open AS1, select your Audio
file, the *.MPA Most importantly, in the Program Streams tab,
select VCD as the Program Stream Type. Then click OK and
finally START button and sit back for a few minutes while it
multiplexes the Video and Audio files together.

3. Now play the new MPEG file again with Windows Media Player
to see if it is okay, checking for Video & Audio
synchronization (lip-sync) near start and end of the movie.

4. If this does not fix the out-of-sync problem for some
reason, then we have to resort to using another program,
VirtualDUB 1.4.7 or later (1.3c needed if an ASF file). Load
the original AVI, MPG, etc file in and select File/Save WAV to
extract the audio out as a WAV file. Then use this file to
multiplex with the video file.



Step 4: Cutting.

1. Only use TMPGEnc or iFilmEdit for cutting the mpg file.
Most other programs, including VCDCutter, do NOT produce 100%
compatable MPEG files after cutting. I only describe the use
of TMPGEnc here.

2. If the movie you converted is longer than 73min or 79min,
you will need to cut it to fit onto a 74min or 80min CDR. Most
movies tend to be 1 1/2 hrs to 2 hours long so you will need
to cut it in half to fit onto 2 standard 74min/650meg CDR's.
You can get 73min onto a 74min/650meg CDR and 79min onto a
80min/700meg CDR, again don't worry about the file length in
meg, just worry about it in minutes. 735meg of movie file will
fit onto a 650meg CDR as a VCD !

3. Run TMPGEnc, from Files select MPEG Tools. Then select
Merge & Cut Tab. Click Add and load in your new mpeg file.
Double click on its name and a new window opens. Use the [ & ]
to mark the Start (lead-in) and End (lead-out) of each clip.
So click [ to mark Start, then slide the Pointer to approx the
mid-point in the movie. Click ] to select the end of Disk 1.
You can fine-tune the positions by altering the times in the
Range box's by using the up & down arrows. Click OK to return
to original screen. For Type, select MPEG-1 VideoCD (This is
MOST important). Give an Output name (eg. disk1.mpg) and click
Start. A few minutes later you will have the MPEG file for
Disk 1.

4. Now double click the file name again so we can produce the
file for disk 2. Move the slider to near the end of Disk1,
click on [ to mark the new Start. Move slider to end of file
and click ]. We now have disk 2 marked, but it is good idea to
overlap some of the movie from disk 1 to disk 2. So in the
first Range box, click the Down arrow to move the pointer
about 5 seconds earlier. That way the last 5 sec of disk 1
will be the first 5 sec of disk 2 so you don't miss any of the
action. Click OK and for Type, select MPEG-1 VideoCD (This is
MOST important!). Give an Output name (eg. disk2.mpg) and
click Start. It appears to be doing nothing for a while but be
patient, a few minutes later you will have the MPEG file for
Disk 2. Then exit the program.

5. It's a good idea to load each mpeg file into Windows Media
Player and check that all is still okay and if so, we are
ready to burn.



Step 5: Burning.

1. There are a few programs that can burn a VCD disk. These
include Nero, Easy CD Creator, WinOnCD and NTI. Nero is by far
the easiest to use so thats what I describe here. Refer to the
Help section within the other programs on how to use them if
you prefer.

2. Run Nero. Click the VideoCD tab, select Create Standard
Compliant CD. In Volume Descriptor tab, enter a Volume Label,
such as THE_GLADIATOR_1 for disk 1 of the Gladiator. Click on
New and then drag & drop the Disk1.mpg file from the right
window (your HD) to the left window (the VCD disk). Nero will
check through the mpeg file to confirm that it is a compliant
VCD file. After it finishes checking the file, click the Burn
Button. Select the Write Speed to be 4x maximum and make sure
Disk-At-Once is NOT ticked. Then click Write and sit back and
watch your first VCD disk being burnt. The excitement builds.
When the burning is finished, label the CD and rush to your
VCD/DVD player to check it out. If all is okay, repeat this
for the second or third disks remembering to change the Volume
Label. Refer to Nero's Help for further info and clarification
on how to use Nero.

3. Use only good quality scratch resistant CDR's. Recommended
brands are: Mitsui, Kodak, Sony, Verbatim, TDK and Ricoh. Some
DVD stand-alone players will only read from CDRW's, then burn
to CDRW's instead. Burning at greater then 4x speed can also
make the VCD unreadable by many players, particularly the PSX.


4. You have now produced a fully compliant VideoCD. Wasn't
that worth the trouble!
