        And yes it takes quite a lot of time. (relatively)

          You want TMPGEnc, however... it's a bit of work figuring it out.

            I'd agree with TMPGEnc but you may need Virtual Dub as well to seperate the audio track if your getting syncing problems.
            When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

              Like always, head on over to www.doom9.org for some guides. vcdhelp.com also has a short guide. I just converted a 90 minute huffyuv file to SVCD using the slowest (highest quality settings supposedly) on an Athlon XP 1800 and it took 12 hours.

                Yeah, it IS time-consuming. DVD2SVCD, which uses either TMPGEnc or CinemaCraft Encoder, takes roughly 12 hours on my AthlonXP 1800+ to convert your average DVD.

                  Incredible slow action. Why can't they make an efficient converter like the audiocatalyst. I mean before audio catalyst it took 15min to pack a 5min music track to mp3 format. With audiocatalyst i took about 20-30 secs on a fast 'puter.
                  Was considering this type of divx->svcd conversion myself, but 12hours? Yuck

                    Because this is orders of magnitude more complex than MP3's?

                    And... because Audio Catalyst creates horrifically bad MP3's?

                    I mean, LAME still takes a couple minutes to compress the average MP3 on my XP1800+, whereas Audio Catalyst will do it in 15-20 seconds. BIG difference in quality though.
