| 757131 | 2009-03-17 07:20:00 | I want to copy our home videos from standard VHS tapes onto DVD and whilst reading the manual of our Panasonic DVD-RV32 DVD player I came across this (www.imagef1.net.nz). Now, I don't know if I am reading it wrong or not but under the "Discs that cannot be played" it appears that I cannot create SVCD discs or use DVD-RW discs, nor create photo CDs to play on this DVD player. :confused: So this idea of mine to copy my tapes onto DVDs and play them on this player is not going to work? Right or wrong? :confused: Incidentally the photo slideshow DVDs that I have created with ProShow work fine using DVD-R DVDs. |

| 757132 | 2009-03-17 07:37:00 | I suppose it depends on what program you use on whether it works or not I know, when I USED to use Nero, (dont now its too bloated) if I didnt change the booktype in it to DVD-ROM. Some of the DVD's I burned, didnt / wouldnt play in one DVD player, but they played fine in another Whoever made it, is probably assuming you cant, (or you dont know how to make it play) on this DVD It sounds similar to the stereo here. It says it supports Zone 4, BUT it'll play any zone DVD. It didnt say anything in the manual about being multizone It probably wont play RW (because some people usually format them), and most DVD players wont play a cd or dvd, if you format it first |

| 757133 | 2009-03-17 08:20:00 | I'm using Ulead VideoStudio 8 to capture the video, render and burn it . Don't really know what I am doing properly yet but the CD that I burnt in SVCD format today was very jerky when played on the DVD player . It is fine when played on the PC, however . I'm planning to burn DVDs later on when I get to the bigger tapes but after reading the manual I don't know if I'm wasting my time and DVDs or not . |

| 757134 | 2009-03-17 08:30:00 | So youre using Videostudio to record the VHS videos to the hdd? If you are, how are you getting it from the video to the PC?? USB and what hardware / capture card? If youre using USB 2, it is not reliable / recommended . What youre seeing (the jerking) can happen when you use USB |

Compared with your time the cost of a DVD now compared to a CD blank hardly registers. You could always include several clips on a DVD with a menu. |

Right or wrong?If you're wanting to save to DVD, you can forget about SVCD (which as you later refer to; is a CD format). DVD-RW are not a reliable medium anyway (imho) so I wouldn't be copying files to that format anyway Does Videostudio allow you to write to and make movies on a DVD-R? or is it limited to file sizes and what mediums it can burn to? If it will allow you; make a DVD using DVD-R (the most widely accepted medium on DVD players) |

| 757139 | 2009-03-17 18:04:00 | You should be using DVD-R as the images shows will work. Make sure you finalize the disk when burning. DVD quality should be better than SVCD. You should be able to get around 1½hrs on a DVD-R depending on what I have not done much with Videostudio but it should be able to encode at a reasonable encoding bitrate quality, you want to be looking at a minimim of 5. Higher you go the less you can fit on a DVD, but better quality. Also depends on how you are feeding it into your PC. I can feed in via my Digital Camera, or straight from my VHS player to the PC via a Hauppauge card. |

| 757140 | 2009-03-17 18:39:00 | Hi Foxy. Don't bother using SVCD as DVD's are so cheap now.As Bantu says, the maximum I've been able to get on a DVD using VS is 1 hour 30 minutes of video.Usually aim at 1 hour 20mins.Had to find that out by trial and error,you'd think there'd be something in the program to let you know when you've reached the limit for your medium! You can use VirtualDub to split the video files up. |
