I am using winavi to convert .avi movie to dvd and I successfuly burn it to a DVD-R.

it looks good when I play it in my laptop cuz it is just 15.4 screen. however, when I played it in my dvd player and hdTV and picture quality is not really good. I get all small square pixel boxes in the picture.

is there a way to improve the quality?. I tried highest quality in winavi but then I get a dvd output more den 2 gb which nero will complain and wont burn.

I was also wondering if I converted a divx movie to dvd..will dat be better den xvid. I am really looking for anyway to make the quality to DVD or even better..like HD

please let me know your thoughts

XviD is capable of higher quality than DivX. Still you can't read anything into somethings quality purely by whether it uses DivX or XviD for video compression.

In order to get HD quality you would need a HD res source and once you converted to DVD you would loose that anyway.

A single layer DVD can hold ~4.37GB's, although if you are talking pre-authoring then you need 100MB's or so of freespace for that.

The boxes could be macroblocks caused by too lower bitrate. Could also be that the source contained macroblocks and or was not of a very high res.

okay so the question still remains how do I improve the picture quality.

as I said when I used the option to have highest quality in winavi it generated 3.8 gb dvd and when I tried to burn it. I had an error message and I was not able to burn it on a dvd using Nero.

is there a way to get around this problem?

What error message?
As long as you stick within the limits defined by DVD specs there shouldn't be any problem.

use Nero vision express to convert to your hd then shrink the folder with shrink to iso and burn put express in hiqh quality mode let shrink do the compression should work better the only other alternative vso DivX to dvd set min bitrate to 4mb and max to max i have an hd tv and Nero by far has done a better job but vso is freeware so you can alwasy try that is available on afterdawn.

I dont konw if I should open a new thread for this one but, after all I successeded in converting to dvd and burn it in dvd. However, now I am facing another problem since i have Bose lifestyle28 home theater. DVD works great and picture quality is almost as good as dvd with minor gliches but sound is coming from the three front speakers but the back ones, I get da sound with some noise. I dont know if the source of da DivX dvd is good but I tried with couple of them and same results. do I need to play with bitrate to make it better?

I have a sony 6.1 sound system and if the resultant files are in dolby digital 2.0 you may have to check your sound decoding to make sure it will spread/emulate the rear speakers alot of times it will automatically do a forward spread for 2.0 sound and has to be manually set to give you the full spectrum of sound. I have not had any problems with hissing or static using Nero vision express or vso DivX to dvd however as u surmised it could also be caused by the source file. good luck

If the AVI was encoded with AC3 audio, the original audio will be used in the mpeg output, so there is no loss in audio quality.

I used GSpot to see what audio codec is used in one of my XviD movies and here is the result

ac3 (0x2000) Dolby Laboratories, Inc

I believe this one will maintain good audio quality.

but if it is x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3
then this when da problem occurs and only front speakers will work but not the rest of da surround system.

any ideas if there is a tool out there that converts dis mpeg-1 to dolby digital

Nero vision express 3 and vso DivX to dvd payed version will convert sound to AC3 dolby 2.0 while converting your video file to dvd compatable format and both will also burn it to disc for you

that usually has to do with the type of media or the quality of the file also make sure when you are going to process these files that all non essential tasks are turned off so that your pc is dedicated to transcoding and burning the files ie disable any non essential processes
