what is the fastest and most effiecient software to convert video files to dvd, i am now using convertxtodvd, but its too slow.
ConvertXtoDVD is one of the faster and better ones out there. Check this setting. Go to settings>encode. If encoding quality is set to high quality will take a little longer. You can change it to medium quality. How slow is slow? What are your pc specs?
If there is a faster one-click app out there...let everyone else know. Cuz I haven't seen one. There are faster standalone encoders out there, but then you still have to author the encode. ConvertXtoDVD is automatic one-click, and I haven't seen anything faster.
Not bad at all on the specs - my guess with those would be 1 hr to covert say a 700mb avi w/ medium quality in ConvertX. How long is is taking you?
lol When I use 2.8 ghz w/ 1 gig ram and it takes me say 50 mins w/ those settings in ConvertX. So 1/2 the ram just added some time.
ok i got a question about ConvertXtodvd.i just had ran a AVI through convertx. got my VOB files burnt it to a disc playedit on my computer everything looked great. took it out and put it in my dvdplayer. it then was in black and white and wasnt centered on the TV and looked kinda scrambled? but before i ran it in convertx i did run it through fixvts. should i have not done this???
I bring the output from Convertx into DVD Shrink. If Shrink accepts the files without complaint, then I know they are 100% good. I click 'Backup!' and tell it to burn the DVD with DVD Decrypter.
ok thanks ill try that. i did just do the orignal file from convertx. still got the same out come, but heres whats odd i have 3 other dvdplayers in my house and it plays on them
well going with shrink and burning with imageburn didnt work either, but it still plays on 3 of the dvdplayers and a PS2, but not the 1 dvdplayer on my main tv... i aint never had this problem before
So, it plays ok on the PC and three standalones plus a PS2, but not on one player. It will play previously burned disks without complaint?Just hates new ones? If so I think the Nero Forum would advise to burn at a maximum of 4X on Verbatim and see if anything changes.
thats just it i took another movie i just burnt on the same media and it played with no problem its just this movie i converted it from a AVI to VOB instead of the normal disc to disc or rip to HDD the burn
@cincryrob I'd skip the FixVTS with ConvertX - just let ConvertX do it's thing. Check in ConvertX for this setting - settings>tv format. Have it set to NTSC. Might not be the problem though but it what I leave mine set at.
funny you should say that binkie7. greensman just sent me a pm about divxtodvd and said the same thing about the NTSC. ive never messed with any of the setting's yet. when i get hopme i will look into that i bet a soda thats it right there....thanks you guys/gals are great
How about smirnoff bet instead of a sode :0) I think ConvertX by default is set to automatic for TV format - I seem remember changing it to NTSC. DivXtoDVD is the free version of ConvertX - not updated anymore that I know of but still good too.
smirnoff it is, but i'll warn ya it might be half empty by the time you get it...lol ill give it a try when i get home... so what your saying is. by default its set for tv format and i need to change it to NTSC right????
lol Yeah when you get home you'll see what I mean - for TV format only 2 dropdowns - video standard and tv screen. Change video standard to NTSC from automatic. That might do the trick with the 1 player.
when ya want that smirnoff and what flavor or just the straight vodka??lol chosed the force NTSC let it convert and whamo(new word for the day) plays great on all my players now.... thanks Binkie7 your the best
