| 313199 | 2005-01-13 10:40:00 | Hmmmm.... The fastest way to ruin the quality of any file is to encode into a compressed format that isn't what you want the final product to be, The entire angle of vcd/svcd should be dismissed entirely, Your not working with CD's,steer clear of that authoring standard. Divx is even worse,its method of compression is different from what you want to end up with,encoding into divx and then authoring it to DVD will get you perhaps the worst possible results. You need to rip the DVD to AVI, I didn't find a suitable program to do this so just just a program that ripped to VOB (this is what both dvd-decrypter and dvd-shrink generate). Then I used an encoder that could work with these files (virtual-dub mod...its free and kicks ass),Using a bitrate calculator to gauge the quality levels requied to get the amount of footage i wanted on the dvd. Once that was sorted i encoded into mpeg,Then authored a DVD and instucted the authoring program not to re-encode the footage...... |

Yep, I reckon you've got a great solution, and a much easier way to do the job . From what I have read through these posts, there are enough suggestions to keep me going for the next week . A huge thanks to Rob99 for all the work you put in, you're a champ mate, and I'm not forgetting all the others that have contributed . May you all be richly blessed! Mike P |

| 313201 | 2005-01-14 09:38:00 | Ok I have just compiled a DVD with 6 movies and a menu. I used Ulead MovieFactory 2.5. The movie files were mp2 format, it had issues with avi. Nearly 8 hours of video on the DVD disc and the quality dosent seem to bad. |
