Feel free to yell at me for posting improperly, I only go to soap opera forums so this is a bit different for me...lol.
Here's the deal: I just got a dvd burner so I can get all the anime off of my hard drive. I like the looks of DVD Architect (If there's better, feel free to share info), but from what I understand, I need to convert my .avi, .mkv, and .ogm files to mpeg-2 format. 1. How do I do that? 2. Is there a program that will keep the quality as good as the original? I really hate the thought of going lower quality since these I hope will become my pride and joy. Also, is it best to separate the different audio tracks from the video and do just plain video alone and add the audio after? Most of them are dual audio with subs and I'd like to keep them that way. Reading the forums just confuzzled me more, so if I sound redundant, my apologies...LOL.
The only experience I've had with burning is using Nero for CD-R and RW. I tried to do DVD with Nero 7 with some files that didn't have any special audio needs and all it did was make my picture wiggle a little and made weird sounds. I need more experience, but it really is a lot more difficult than I thought. I'm usually pretty good at figuring things out quickly, but I think making DVD's are my downfall. I'm sure there are more questions, but I can't think of them all. I'm so frazzled trying to figure the stuff out. Any help would be so appreciated. I've always wanted to make my own DVDs since I'm an editing nut, but I'm at the big "where do I begin" roadblock. Nothing has quite made sense to me, maybe it's because the info isn't directed towards me. Thanks in advance.
