  RE: dvd will not hold 1hr 58min avi
  I created a DVD project in DVD-A 1.0 with 12 separate video clips. Most of the video clips were 9 minutes at 26 seconds long (which is a 2 GB file in DV format). In "optimize DVD" I adjusted the bitrate to fit, with 4% margin just in

  RE: What is the amount of data you can fit on DVD?
  Wow! Thanks for the comprehensive and detailed reply. I'm afraid that I am probably as lazy as you can get when it comes to working out the calculations for fitting my data on to DVD. I just find it easier to import my AVI files into TMPGEnc Plus

  RE: Now I am really screwed up
  If you want your audio not to be re-encoded, you have to render the audio separately as AC-3 or uncompressed WAV (i.e. PCM). PCM audio will take up more space then MPEG audio, so the estimated size of 4.8 GB is correct. You can reduce the size

  RE: DVD Content Creation Compression?
  If you go to the Optimize DVD screen, there is a slider and bit-rate text box where you can adjust the final bitrate. Above that is an estimated size that will change dynamically as you enter new numbers or slide the slider. You could adjust this

  RE: Stopping Recompression?
  Hi, When ripping the DVD movies I used DVD2AVI. This provides a link that allows TMPGEnc to re-encode the .vob files. It produces a separate .wav file for the audio. (Approx 360 MB) This I converted into an AC-3 audio file in Vegas. (Approx 45

  MPEG2 - Gaining maximum quality at the right file size?
  Hi, Am I the only one to think that all the existing encoders (including MainConcepts) for converting DV to MPEG2 for transfer onto DVD, requires a degree in the black arts? I am producing movies of varying lengths. When I convert them to MPEG2,

  RE: Newbie Question about CD-RW and DVD
  Thanks, and I was hoping you'd reply because I've read a lot of your messages. So my best bet is to use SVCD with MPEG-2, and it will play on (many newer) DVD players and on PCs, correct? And it should play whether the viewer is using RealOne or
