Encoding settings


Now, in the bottom-right corner of the main window, select Settings. First, from Video tab you should select Motion search precision as High quality (slow) or Highest quality (slowest) -- this setting slows the encoding time significantly, but it produces better quality videos.

From Advanced tab you should select the video settings like they were in the data you wrote down in DVD2AVI step -- set the video source type (normally something like Interlace or Progressive -- with NTSC videos this might vary) and source aspect ratio (4:3 625 lines PAL, 16:9 625 lines PAL, 4:3 525 line NTSC or 16:9 525 line NTSC). From Video arrange method select Full screen (keep aspect ratio). From Field order normally the correct setting is Bottom field first (at least with PAL). Leave the other values as they were and click OK.


Encoding with TMPGEnc


Now, just select the directory and the filename you want to have for the final VCD compliant MPEG-1 in Output filename (in bottom of the main window) -- note! this directory should have appx. 1.5GBs of free HDD space (74 minutes of VCD video takes 740megs -- if you have 3 hour movie (180minutes) you should have 1.8GBs of free HDD space). After this, just hit the Start button in top-left corner and wait for(ever :) 5 to 15 hours -- time depends on the length of the movie, the "complexity" of the movie, your encoding settings and your CPU power.
