Hi, I am still trying different settings (but the process is rather slow, and I have to do it at home, where I can dedicate only limited time to it), but indeed -K kvcd improved a lot. I left out the -N option because I don't think my source material is that noisy, and I am not sure if it is really necesary to use the -l 1 for yuvdenoise. I have not tried to the new SVCD on my DVD player yet, so I can not say if it looks better than the VCD, but my impression (from watching with mplayer) is that it isn't... I notice some strange artefacts, that I noticed also in the VCD, when playing with mplayer, but not when playing on the DVD+TV): blue "lightning": small blue lines that appear and disappear. A bit like when you put a aluminium cooted crisps bag in the microwave ;-) ... Any idea? Another question: Dan Dennedy mailed a script to the kino-dev mailing list to convert dvgrab output to mpeg2 (for DVD) using ffmpeg. Now, this might be a good moment to ask something I have on my mind for quite a while. What would be the main advantages/disadvantages between ffmpeg, mjpegtools (and mencoder)? (for this particular purpose, converting DV to mpeg2 for DVD/SVCD/VCD) ?
