Minimum Requirements

Software requirements:
AVI to VCD / DVD 3.X based on Microsoft? DirectX? technology. Works under all Windows? 9x, Me family Operating Systems as well as under WindowsNT?4.0 and Windows?2000, Windows?XP. ( for Windows ? NT 4.0 and Windows ? 95 it is necessary to install DirectX 8.1 or later).

Hardware requirements:

MMX-enhanced CPU (Intel Pentium MMX, Pentium II, Celeron, Pentium III, AMD K6-2, K-6, Athlon, etc.)

32 MB RAM

Any VGA card
 
Input AVI specification
'AVI to DVD / VCD' will encode avi files that fit the following limitations:
Input Video: 'AVI to DVD / VCD' supports any frame rate from 5 to 60 frames per second. If a media file is used that has a lower or higher frame rate than the above, the 'AVI to DVD / VCD' will play back faster or slower than normal. 

Input Audio: 'AVI to VCD / DVD' can supports almost all audio format, include 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz, 16-bit stereo/mono audio. Other audio types include MPEG Layer 1, 2 and 3 are all supported. 'AVI to VCD / DVD' also converts all audio to stereo, if it is not already stereo.

The video codec used should be compatible with DirectShow, in another words, your avi/mpeg file can be played in Microsoft Media Player 8.0 or over.

Note that for best quality, there are preferred values which will not require 'AVI to VCD / DVD' to resize or resample the input to match VCD specifications. The ideal values are (depending on target format)

VCD specification	DVD specification	SVCD specification
NTSC: Horizontal width: 352 Vertical height: 240 Frames per second: 29.97 Color depth: 24 or 32 bits PAL: Horizontal width: 352 Vertical height: 288 Frames per second: 25 Color depth: 24 or 32 bits	NTSC: Horizontal width: 720 Vertical height: 480 Frames per second: 29.97 Color depth: 24 or 32 bits PAL: Horizontal width: 720 Vertical height: 576 Frames per second: 25 Color depth: 24 or 32 bits	NTSC: Horizontal width: 480 Vertical height: 480 Frames per second: 29.97 Color depth: 24 or 32 bits PAL: Horizontal width: 480 Vertical height: 576 Frames per second: 25 Color depth: 24 or 32 bits

Note: If you don't know what the parameters of the video file you have are, in explorer, right click on the file once, then select 'Properties', then select the tab 'Details' or 'Summary', depending on the version of Windows.

Output MPEG specification
Resolution
If this resolution is not the same as the input files, they will be resized or cropped according to the specification of VCD/DVD/SVCD. Common resolutions include 352x240 for NTSC VCD, 352x288 for PAL VCD, 480x480 for NTSC SVCD, 480x576 for PAL SVCD, 720(704)x480 for NTSC DVD and 720(704)x576 for PAL DVD. (refer to above table)

Audio

Output audio format is 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz, 16-bit stereo audio, which compatible with the specification of 'VCD / DVD / SVCD'. If none of the media input files contain audio this will be set to none and no audio is encoded.
