I know this question has been asked before, but I haven't found the answer for this exact question.
I am making a DVD that has two movies (from VMS) and about 40-50 pictures for a sideshow.
Now, everyone always says to render once in VMS to mpeg-2, and then import into DVD Studio. If I render to AVI, then let DVD Studio render to mpg, I have to do it every time I change something on the DVD. Makes perfect sense.
But I have 2 movies plus a slideshow. The movies are 18 minutes and 20 minutes each, and I want to have them as seperate menu items on the DVD. It seems to me that if I let DVD Studio render to mpg, it knows that there are 2 movies plus pictures, so it would set the render to fill up the DVD with the least compression it needs. Am I right?
Because if I render to MPG from VMS, it might render them too big for everything to fit on the DVD, or compress them too small and not make use of the full 4.3 GB on the DVD.
So, when you're doing more than one movie on one DVD, what is better? Render to mpeg from VMS, or within DVD Studio?
Thanks!
