I've done a couple of AVIs to DVDr using TMPGEnc Xpress 3.0 (I have the AC3 plug in too) and they have turned out pretty good. I was wondering if I'm using all the best parameters to get the very best results. Here is the "typical" AVI in my library: 700MG size movie is usually 1:15 long (give or take 10 mins) encoded in Divx or xvid (probably divx 5.0) 512x382 resolution around 140kbps data rate 29 frame rate (some 25s) Audio is MP3 Mpeg layer 1 128kps so far I've choosen: one divx per DVDr 720x480 (NTSC) Mpeg layer 1 for audio VBR 2-pass and everything else set to default. Typical average video bit rate: 6400 kbits/sec Is this the best settings in TMPG Xpress3.0 for quality? For best quality one DVI to a DVDr or can I do two? Should I be using AC3? TIA
