[linux-dvb] AW: HOWTO create SVCDs on Linux

[Nils Heidorn <nils_heidorn@gmx.de>]

Thx Peter !

I'll play around with it on the weekend, nice to have a starting point now
:-)

How about the encoding time, is it somehow comparable with the advanced
PC-Tools ( the free tmpeg or the *notatall* free cee ) ?

One problem ( from reading your manual swiftly ) seems to be that you have
to cut the video into pieces by vdr before you start encoding, normally you
want to do so before starting to encode ( on pc side with pvacut ) or to cut
the 1 file output mpeg file.
The normal method implies to get 2 or 3 SVCD's in good Quality, so you want
a cutting that divides the movie in 2 or three equal parts, i even like to
do an overlapping cut ( like many channels do for commercials, repeat the
last 10 seconds of the movie, so you can get *in* again ).


Thanks so much, i'll post "real-life" experiences once i found time to test
it !
