ASF to VCD - Page 5

The quality of a ASF movie is almost always worse than a good VCD and the conversion to MPEG will make the movie even worser. But if you want to play it on standalone DVD Player or trough a mpeg card you have to convert it.

You will need:
DVMPEG v5.0+
Virtual Dub

How I make it?

- Launch VirtualDub.
- Select File->Open video file and open your ASF.
- Select File->File Information to check the fps and size of your ASF file. If the movie is in 25 fps and size 320x240 you have to select Video->filter and add a resize filter and type in 352x288 and if the movie is in 29,97 / 30 fps you have to resize it to 352x240. If the movie isn't in either 25 fps or 29.97/30 fps you cant make a vcd. The sound will get desynched.....
- Select Audio->Compresion and select DVMPEG under format and Stereo under Attributes
- Select Audio->Conversion and select these : Sampling Rate 44100, Precision 16 Bit, Channels Stereo
- Select Video->Compression. Select DVMPEG and press Configure. (Probably you have to press CTRL-TAB to find the DVMPEG setup) Select Video CD under Stream Type and PAL 25 if the ASF movie is in 25 fps or NTSC of the is in 29,97/30 fps Under MPEG Adv. and under Global->Quality factor select 0 for best quality. Hit OK and then hit OK in the Select video compression window.
- Now just Select File->Save AVI and save your AVI anywhere. And the DVMPEG will auto save it to MPG. Now you can burn the mpg with any VCD Authoring program.
