RE: U.S. Videomaker needs UK Advice

Oh... I dunno........., money, big houses, room to breathe, climate, 1/3 lower cost of living, standard of living, awesome fishing, big garages, lotsa toys............

Seriously - thanks for the advice. The Wharfdale seems to crop up often in recommendations but I see a few postings here which worry me a bit. The Missus is traveling over in a few weeks and I`ll give her one of my home-brewed SVCD`s to test. Is the only way to get a Wharfdale from Tesco mail order or do they have them demo`d in their stores?

More of a techie question........Has anyone taken NTSC feed material avi`s and converted to PAL (25 fps) and obtained good SVCD results using TMPGEnc (v12) to make the MPEG2`s???? Were TMPGEnc`s standard PAL templates OK or were special settings needed?

Cheers

RE: Budget DVD Player or not?

Where did you get the Proline and do you know if it plays VCD`s and SVCD`s???

U.S. Videomaker needs UK Advice

As a Brit (gone Native in the US) I`m successfully converting old home
movies into NTSC VCD`s and SVCD`s playable on my US Pioneer DVD 333 ($249 USD). (I haven`t seen a comparable UK model???)

I`m now practicing with PAL. I want to send them to relatives in the UK, BUT, I need to buy them DVD players.

1. What`s a good (cheap) UK DVD player that will play VCD`s?
2. Are there ANY that will play SVCD`s?????
3. And - where is best to buy them (mail order preferably)?
4. So long as they play regular DVD`s with acceptable quality, no special features are needed.

Cheers & Tally Ho.

RE: Wharfedale 750s-SVCD lip-sync problems?!

What MPEG encoding software and settings are you using?
