Ok, so here's my situation. I'm trying to burn as many eps/DVD as I can without taking a hit on quality. The whole point of this is to watch them on my TV set via my DVD player (doesn't support divx). The source file itself isn't all that great of quality.

Format: Matroska, Overal BitRate: 566Kpbs, Width: 448, Height: 336 (aspect ratio of 4/3)

I'm not having any problems encoding/burning them to DVD, however, I put 3 eps (1 hour long each)on the first DVD with a bitrate of ~3200kbps and a resolution of 720x480. I was thinking since the source itself isn't that good, I should be able to put more than 3 eps onto 1 DVD without taking quality loss. Also, maybe I should use a different resolution, perhaps one that is acutally 4/3 ratio, like 720x540? Any thoughts or ideas?

Encode at 352x240 or 352x480.

Thanks for the reply, but why those resolutions? What kind of difference will I see in quality/size of files? I'm still pretty new to this... also figured out I couldn't encode at 720x540 (tgmpenc wouldn't let me :p)

Because DVD specs don't allow for just any resolution. Although I guess you could use a non DVD resolution like people do when authoring SVCD's to DVD. Try 720x544 since it is mod16 unlike 540. However I'm not sure that DVD specs allow for 1:1 PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) either.

Well, what i'm curious is why you are recommending 352x240 or 352x480 over that of 720x480

They take less size perhaps?

I logged in on March 1st 2005, and it's incredible to believe that in so short time I've learnt all that I know about DVDs from this forum...
