Input On DVD Rebuilder Guide

It always seemed with the options I chose it would take all day. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. It was a 20 gig avi from the camera. Crunched to 4 gigs for the DVD.

Did you do something similar? Did you use Nero or some other program.

I captured directly from Hi8mm tape, the longest stretch was getting through the time it took to play the tape, they were never more than two hours in length. The conversions took a little more than hour including burning.

Where did you get a 20 gig avi from. LOL That would be about 8 to 10 Video tapes.

 

I had heard that P4s had a substantial advantage over the old Athlons in this type of encoding.

All pentiums had a better compression rates than AMD's did back then (especally PIII) but not that much different.

You must have been double sure about that last staement.

 

Did you capture AVI or MPG. How big.

 

It's tape to avi, to mpeg, but 20 gigs would've required a transfer from hard disk.

 

I just used Windows movie maker for the capture part. It was 1.5 gigs of MPG or 20 gigs of AVI straight from the camera. The uncompressed AVI looked better so I figured it would give me the best shot at a good outcome. Just an hour and a half of video.
I used a firewire connection.

 

Sophocles,
It was a digital tape. I assume yours was an analog capture. Possibly a lower resolution.

Yes my tapes were analog tapes of old home movies, I believe I mentioned Hi8. I've been researching Digital cameras and I can't find one that stores 20 gigs on a single media of anykind except a hard disk. But if your shooting straight to your PC then that explains it.

 

For the record, the quality is very good doing it this way.
The digital tape cameras hold a lot of uncompressed video. Probably the main advantage to using tape for digital.

 

update it for the new 1.01 pro final

I recomend starting from scratch as much has changed from the current guide
