I have yet to find a post or guide for this. If I overlooked somewhere, please refer me there I have television episodes that I would like to burn to a DVD, to play on my standalone DVD player. They video codec XVID Mpeg-4 with a video bitrate of about 1000kbps + or - about 25kbps, a video resolution of either 640x368 or 640x352 (aspect ratio 16:9), and a FPS of 23.976. The audio codec is MPEG Layer-3, a bitrate of about 120-130kbps and a frequency of 48000Hz. The file sizes are between 347mb and 351mb. I found all this information in AVIcodec. I want to convert them all maintaining as much quality as possible and being able to burn them on to DVD. I do not know whether or not converting them changes the file size or what. But if not, I should be able to put about 13 episodes on one DVD, with out changing the original quality to much. Also, I want to have a Menu, and chapters for each episode. Thanks for the help.
G'day folks, Has there been any reply to this topic via private email maybe? Surely somebody has an answer to this...I'm new to this and very keen to find out. Thanks, Andrew.
Well, it's quite easy. Step 1) Convert all your eps into video. You can try converting them to either VCD or SVCD but make sure the audio is 48 KHz (DVD standard) and not 44.1 KHz. Caveat: Not all DVD players will be able to play a DVD encoding with VCD/SVCD video. If your standalone can't play this, then it'll have to be DVD video. Step 2) Author. I love using DVD-Lab. It'll do everything you asked for (custom menus with chapters). Step 3) Burn. I've fit about 20 eps (using VCD video) onto a DVD. Since it's anime, quality doesn't suffer too much.
Thanks whassup... Sounds easy enough. Can I ask what program you use to convert to video? Thanks again...
