Heuris MPEG Power Professional
You may want to download these Heuris
SVCD templates. Copy them into the Template folder in the Heuris directory. The
start up Heuris and right click in the main window..
Select
Insert task
Select
the avs file you've just created and load it by pressing the "..."
button. Then chose the profile that matches your needs: SVCD-NTSC rff
for movies that contain incorrect rff flags, SVCD-NTSC for progressive
NTSC movies and SVCD-PAL for PAL movies. Note that Heuris can't set the
3:2 pulldown flag, therefore you have to select 29.97fps in FlaskMpeg
in any case. After choosing the right profile press Edit Settings.
To make a VCD simply select a VCD profile.
Also don't forget to set a Destination File Name.
Here
you can change the Bit Rate. Once again this is fully up to you since
should I give recommendations I'd have 98% of my readers that would complain,
49 would think my settings are too high, 49% would think my settings are
too low and the rest simply wouldn't care. Just let me remind you that
VBR means that it's not completely determinable whereas you can calculate
the size your movie will have if you chose CBR. The calculations are always
the same: Total bitrate/s (audio bitrate/s + video bitrate/s) * movie
length in seconds = size.
Here
you can set some other interesting settings. The settings for NTSC movies
should be ok, however if you're dealing with PAL movies you may want to
enable the Deinterlacer (Check If not detected, assume fields are: Interlaced
in the Field preparation settings) if the movie is indeed interlaced.
But the profiles should work in most cases, only change something if it
looks bad.
If you're all done close the Encode Definition window by pressing OK, then press the encode button.
It's the rightmost button in this picture!
After a long time you'll want to encode the
audio separately, by switching to the bbMPEG plugin in FlaskMpeg and in
it's settings only check encode audio. BTW: Heuris encodes audio after
video so we can't frameserve directly from FlaskMpeg since it only can
serve the same stuff once. We could use a DirectShowSource as described
in IEATLINT's guide but that could lead to disastrous results if you use
FlaskMpeg's DVD mode since most movies have the studio logo in another
vob id and using the IFO mode will skip that but the DirectShowSource
won't know that and deliver all that's there.
