Hello, I have been tranfering some DV recording to VCD and SVCD, and I am a bit surprised by the result. I first created the VCD, with a non- standard bitrate of 2500, and I was surprised how good it looked (played with a DVD player on a TV). Then I created the SVCD (standard settings). expecting it to be even better, but in fact it contained a lot of artifacts (the wringling on large surfaces around borders, I don't know the slang for)
Now, I realize the SVCD bitrate has been a bit lower than the VCD bitrate I used, but only slightly. Maybe the VCD is smoother because I used yuvdenoise in the chain? Or maybe because the VCD resolution is a lot lower, while this doesn't really matter on a TV set? Or maybe I just did something wrong when creating the SVCD? I send you the settings I used. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
