Hello guys. I have a movie that is HDTV quality (1280x720) in .mkv format. According to TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4, it's too big to fit on my DVD-Rs. My question is, what format should I change the movie into? I want minimal loss in quality, but being able to fit into a DVD-R with a menu, subtitles, audio, etc... Should I change it to a MPEG-4? Can I just use SUPER for that? Or is there a better program? And what is the difference between the 'container' stuff and the 'file' stuff? Apparently, Xvid and DivX are containers? Avi is a file type? I don't get it..... And then there are codecs? All this lingo when you convert videos is making me crazy....
Why, what's it's running time?Does this program set a two hour limit for DVD movies on a standard blank? You could tell it to create files to fit a DL disk, then run those files through DVD Shrink to fit a standard blank. In any case, a DVD movie isn't HD. AVI and MKV are containers. The contents can be video that has been compressed using DivX or XviD codecs (compressors). It drives everyone crazy.
It's running time is 1:59:03. So pretty much 2 hours. I have no idea if TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 has a two hour limit... How would I tell it to create files to fit a DL disk? DL as in double layer? So then, I can use DVD shrink to make the files fit a DVD-5. Is that correct? Thanks for explaining.
