KVCD, KSVCD, and KDVD templates are TMPGEnc templates created by Kwag (homepage).
The really cool thing about these templates is that they quizzed just a little bit more out of the current VCD (VideoCD), SVCD (Super VideoCD), and DVD formats. The main kick is that you will (most likely) be able to squize an entire movie on a single CD! Or with DVD: put multiple movies on a single DVD.
Some templates even up to 360 minutes of video on a CD!
For you to be able to use these templates, you will need TMPGEnc (either the free version or the Plus version).
Don't forget to read the disclaimer!
On Kwag's website you can download the individual templates, or download the relevant templates for WeetHet (click HERE).
Template Target Media Recommended resolution Average movie time per Media […]
With some of these templates you can select different resolutions than the ones we recommend. Be warned that these alternative resolutions might improve picture quality, but will most likely produces issues with some DVD players. Issues might arise in the sense that the CD/DVD cannot be played or shows a greenish screen with lot's of artifact, or the playback may be shocking.
Tip: For information on other video formats, see the Formats page.
See also the DVD Compatibility Database on this website (KVCD, KSVCD and KDVD values are based on the recommended resolutions!), to see which players can deal with KVCD, KSVCD and/or KDVD.
If your DVD player is not there or the information in the database is incomplete, then please let us know, either by email or by updating the database yourself.
Quality of KVCD, KSVCD and KDVD may vary, but usually it produces a good looking movie.
Step 1. Download the templates.
You can download them from Kwag's KVCD.NET website or download the bundle of recommended templates from WeetHet.
Step 2. Place the templates with TMPGEnc.
You will need to copy the templates to the \Template folder found with TMPGEnc. Commonly TMPGEnc is installed in C:\Program Files\Pegasys Inc\TMPGEnc Plus 2.5.
Note: if you downloaded the bundle, you will need to use WinRar (v3 or higher) to extract the files first!
Step 3. Start TMPGEnc and use the Wizard (CTRL+W)
The templates should now appear in the list of the Wizard.
For an example on how to use KVCD, see the AVI to K(S)VCD and AVI to K(S)CD with subtitles articles.
