It appears to render fine using the included SVCD NTSC template. When played back on my computer it looks OK, but not as good as the standard SVCD template that comes with TMPGenc which is likely due to the lower bit rate that MC uses (it produces a smaller file that TMPGenc).
However, when I burn an SVCD with Nero and play it back on my Pioneer DV-333 DVD player, it produces an image which is fat and squashed (ie. it only shows about 50% of the image streched across the screen). SVCDs encoded using TMPGenc work fine.
Bottom line: this encoder is useless to me. Since I only have the standard version, I can't try different settings.
To MCTech:
Please convince your people to produce a demo version of your encoder. I bought this encoder to save time, not waste more of it.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
