Ok here I am , made a vacation Halloween in Disney Paris movie.

75 minutes (fireworks and parade is the half of the movie)

Shot at 4K , did the render in HD1080 mp4 to bring it down (still 7gb)

Did a watch with the famiy and now the family wants it on dvd

I saw this you tube movie about dvd architect

Render it as a mpeg2 and do a seperate render for the audio

put it in dvd a and burn it

but it looks like sh*t

How can I get some decent quality on a dvd ?

I have tried a lot of programs and burned a lot of dvd's for the garbage they all look crap

Every hollywood movie is burned on a dvd with good quality and those files are much , much bigger !!!

Glad it helped. DVD also uses MPEG2 vs the MPEG4 used in your source media, so the encoding itself is far less efficient, which means you have to have higher bitrates to get the same quality, and DVD maxes out at 8mbps (you get about 60 minutes at that bitrate, with PCM audio).

(BTW... Floyd just dropped something like 18 live albums on various streaming services.)

I recently received a super 8 camera with projector and mounting installation, maybe I shouldn't put it in the attic yet ?

Wouldn't it be a real challenge to transfer your 4k recording to super8?

Transfer video to film. Quite pricey.
