Hi everyone,
New to this forum. Have a question that must have been asked numerous times before, but here goes. As the subject pretty much says, I would like to know how to convert VHS home videos to VCD that could be played on standalone DVD players which will play CD-R or CD-RW VCDs(NTSC).
I have a Matrox Marvel G-200 TV that's installed in my computer and works great for the little things that I do. Now I'd like to unleash it's power in the home video editing arena. I hope there are users out there who own a Marvel G-200 or at least have upgraded from the G-200 to a higher end one and have experimented with creating VCDs. Could you rocket scientists guide this newbie into the process of creating VCDs with Marvel G-200. What's the right software for this card to capture in MJPEG and then to convert to VCD. There is no editing required, no adding of special effects or cutting frames, just plain capture and convert to mpg and then burn to CD to make the VCD. I have checked out some helpful websites suchs as vcdhelp.com and others but it seems there's a special better way to do this for the Marvel G200, using special software to overcome the 2Gig limit and other codecs for capturing in MJPEG and then using a 3rd party software for converting to MPEG. Most of this is new territory to me, so I hope you guys can help me. What settings would I have to input for capturing in MJPEG for making a NTSC VCD, and with what software, which is better than the PC-VCR provided by Matrox. What versions of the s/w would be better for the Marvel G-200. I am hearing a lot about Tmpeg for conversion to MPG, which version and what settings would be appropriate for VCD.
I would very much appreciate it if you guys can help me out on this, especially on going about using the Marvel G200 card for this purpose and all the specific s/w to go with it.
Thanks
IndyJones
