Wie gehts, Ok, so the default q value is 6 - some examples use 7. I realize that this is probably a matter of taste, but, in your experience, what q value works nicely for dvd source for svcd out? The chart seems to indicate <= 6 - other examples list 7, someone recommended 9 to me once, if I remember right...
My svcd is nice, but it lacks a certain crispness that i've seen other svcd have. Also, the walls and other background sometimes have that swimmy/shifty blocky pattern, a bit like when you compress a jpeg file too much. If the scene is closeup on someone's face, it looks like an svcd - you can see individual hairs, etc., but if the scene is more complex, with no single center of attention, it looks like a plain vcd. Any suggestions? I just assumed that because the total size was so much less than 1400 megs, that it wasn't using it's full bit capacity, since almost all svcds I've seen are 2, sometimes 3, disks.
