Hello everyone.

I have read some of the guides and post that other people have made, but have more questions and need advise. If youc an help, please do so.

I have a miniDV camcorder. After transfering the video from miniDV camcorder to my hard drive I get 13 Gigabite AVI file. From this point I want to fit this video with the best quality I can get to the DVD - R media. What should I do? Most important thing for me is quality. what software should I use to encode the raw AVI file? should it be MPEG2 or DIVX? (I am not sure what are the differences here..) How shoul I burn it to the DVD -R media? : like a simple file or DVD? Shouod I take something into consideration if I want to send the dvd to Europe?

Thank you very much for your time and help in advance.

Help, If you want others to help you..

You will of course need more than 1 DVD. If the files are already in AVI format then go to the guide in my sig, by alkohol for a very comprehensive tutorial on how to complete your project.
The guide is easy to follow, take it slow, use GOOD media such as Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim. Good luck.

after I capture video from miniDV camcorder the fle is AVI. but it is 60 min of length and arround 13 gigs of size. should I encode it with some encoder to later burn it with Nero? what is the best encoder and burning software for best quality?

I also wanted to take that 13 gig file and encode it with DivX or Xdiv. then hopefuly it would fit on a regular CD. can I do this?

I converted all my 3hour tapes to AVI format and each one fitted onto a single DVD5.
I believe if you run it throug DivXtoDVD then it will blow out furtfer in size. Have you taken a look at the link??

link? the Nero one? see, i have heared that the best way to create dvd s is to encode first and then make dvd via Nero, as nero's encoder quality is not the best. i want to get the best possible, that's why i keep on bugging you guys .. :(

what is the simplest and best way to convert RAW unencoded AVI file into DivX or XviD encoded AVI?

I have always been happy with my results and I wont settle for second best either, alkohol shows a couple of different settings in Nero, it takes longer to transcode but worth it.
If you dont like Nero you could choose DivXtoDVD available here

or you could also choose TFM(The film Machine) but you'll have to search Software to find that.

hi

well i need quailty and time isnt an issue! so use TFM The FilmMachine + CCE encoder, it has built in ones if useing them try HCEnc encoder if you dont have CCE £2000.

also europe will be PAL format so you can do that to in TFM

but thats a big AVI file! i would just try it and see what happens it may seem big but not be very compressed so may work out ok?

but as said here you may need to cut it up first? and split it to 3 discs or so?

as TFM will make it fit a dvdr5 size so need to split it before encoding

TFM is free, CCE isnt!

Nothing here to see, move along folks.
