Interlacing, CBR vs VBR and Avisync

lol@markrb yeah you do that:D

CBR vs VBR 

@ markrb Yeah, Mark, please Stick It! :) It will a great "clarifier" for newbies on how to decide to do their encodes. @ Cooper I don't pretend that my way of doing encodes is best, but I feel it will suit you. Since size it is not an issue for me, I do CBR @ 2490 Kb/sec bit rate, creating SVCD's of around 40 mins each - I select the necessary number of chapters to reach that duration. I agree that, sometimes, due to time constraints of the chapters (maybe 41 minutes for a disc), I had to decrease slightly the bitrate, but no less than 2350. Recently, I stopped making CD images, and cut the big MPEG-2 file as I wish with M2Edit-Pro. The results have always been of great quality, and the spent time for the process is minimal.

hoozdapimp your explanation was fine. I just wanted to show the positive and negatives behind each encoding method. Not so much to give advice on settings as you did. Since you did that already. Mark
