KVCD's burn DVD quality on a CDR!
 

I found a new way to burn your videos at DVD quality on a regular CD. It looks promissing.

Just thought I would share

What is KVCD?


"K Video Compression Dynamics"


KVCD is a modification to the standard MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 GOP structure and Quantization Matrix. It enables you to create over 120 minutes of near DVD quality video, depending on your material, on a single 80 minute CD-R/CD-RW. We have published these specifications as KVCDx3, our official resolution, which produce 528x480 (NTSC) and 528x576 (PAL) MPEG-1 variable bit rate video, from 64Kbps to 3,000Kbps. Using a resolution of 352x240 (NTSC) or 352x288 (PAL), it's possible to encode video up to ~360 minutes of near VCD quality on a single 80 minute CD-R. The mpeg files created will play back in most modern standalone DVD players. You must burn the KVCD MPEG files as non-standard VCD or non-standard SVCD (depends on your player) with Nero or VCDEasy.



Using KVCD parameters to create DVDs (KDVD), will enable you to create 100% DVD compliant MPEG-2 streams, capable of playing on any standard DVD player. This will allow you to put up to about 6 hours Full D-1 720x480 on one DVD, or about 10 hours at Half D-1 352x480.

Kinda sounds like it belongs in the For Sale forum.

im not selling it, its FREE

Notice how they say NEAR DVD quality.

Something like this already exists. You can burn XVCDs (non standards-compliant VCDs). see dvdrhelp.com

If their compression is good then it could be useful.

thanks Glenn, that looks like a good site
