|
|
Hi all,
I'm in the process of finishing up a product which can convert a number of
picture to an AVI, and I have been requested to make this avi in to an
VideoCD. Since I'm using DirectX allready for the AVI creation I was
wandered if there is any Codec which I can purchase to save the AVI as
a VCD (preferably) / SVCD format?
Regards
Yannis.

It's not a directx codec, but you can try:
http://www.binarymagics.com
You will need the mpeg encoder and the vcd burner.

AFAIK the MPeg encoder does not yet exist (binarymagics seems to be working
on it but that has the same status for almost a year now).
Another option for MPEG encoding is MCL from Gromada:

Actually after almost a month with out any response from their department
I have made the disition not to purchase anything from them ever.
I do not care what the status of their components is or the status of
their support. As a pontential customer I would expect a more prompt
response than this, I will not pay anyone to ignore me and thats final.
So thank you for your response I'm steel searching alternatives
and I have found an api translation for NERO which I think supports
VCD as well so I'm investigating this at the moment and I'll take a
look on your options later this month.
Regards
Yannis.

I did work with a company on this and went for the MCL solution.
1. You first produce the MPEG1 or MPEG2 in the right format (for different
video quality, note you must pay patent fees for MPEG2, per software copy
sold).
2. Then, you must author the SVCD, and this can be done with VcdImager:
http://www.vcdimager.org
The result will be a BIN/QUE file.
3. Final stage is burning the CDROM, really here you have no other choice as
Binarymagic's component I think (at least I never saw another Delphi
component).
Hope that helps,
Kind regards,
Nils

Just a small clarification here MPEG2 is used on SVCD format where
MPEG1 is used on VCD format right??

Why what is the reason of authoring a existing Video stream?? Just to
convert to VCD or is there any other reason ??

There is NERO API which can be used at the specific customer. I do not
indent to sell this application to the public at the moment so there is
not need to natively support the record procedure but it is important
not to relay on any external programs to create the vcd it self.
As far as I NERO 6 comes with an ActiveX SVCD CODEC which I'm planning
to use at this point. and I have allready downloaded the trial version
of the library you have proposed in order to evaluate it.
The thought is that I might be able in the future to build my own
ActiveX CODEC from this unit in order to avoid dependencies on
other the NERO CODEC. As for the burn proccess I am trying to gather
information about the format of a VCD / SVCD CD in order to create
some kind of ISO builder for it and let the user burn it through any
software s/he see fit.
Thank you for your comments.
Regards
Yannis.
