I have a question about converting video that I hope someone can help me with... so here it goes.

I have a bunch of FLV clips that I want to make a DVD of but I'm not sure which format will give me the best "Picture Quality" once I play the DVD on my DVD-Player.

When I convert the FLV file(s)... should I convert it to MPEG1, MPEG2 or AVI, which of these will give me the best overall picture quality once I have converted them to play on my regular DVD player?

Right now this is what I'm doing:
-I take the FLV movie and convert it to MPG1 with Smart FLV Converter.
-I use NERO 8 to inmport the converted files and make a DVD.
-I pop the DVD in my DVD player but the quality isn't all that great.

Anny suggestions???

Many thanks in advanced!!

That is a very easy to fix dilemma...Since you will be playing that resulting DVD in a regular standalone DVD player, you have no choice but to convert to mpeg2(DVD compliant).

The only thing is that Smart FLV converter does not offer conversion from FLV to MPEG2

http://www.flvtoaviconverter.com/

I can convert from FLV to:

MPEG: MPEG1
AVI: Microsoft MPEG4 v2, DivX, WMV7, WMV8, Motion JPEG
WMV: WMV7, WMV8
MOV: MPEG4
ASF: WMV7, WMV8

So those are all the output formats that I have to choose from... and I don't know which one will give me the best picture quality once I convert them to DVD. ???

Any other suggestions?? Thanks!!

If you have to first convert to a different format in order to convert to DVD, you lose whatever quality those flv had(not very good most times).
Try DVD Flick and convert directly to DVD. The newer versions allow you to make menus also.

DVD Flick... is this a converter? or a DVD maker?

I tried downloading the program but I wasn't able to install it.

And yes, I meet ALL the system requirements.

Any other suggestions on how I can convert an FLV file to a format that will look at least "OK" on my DVD player?? Thanks!!

What do you mean you couldn't install it? What OS are you running?

Are you logged in as administrator?
Which version of DVD Flick did you try to install? What did the error say?

Yes I'm logged in as an administrator... it's my home PC. But I tried a FREE program (Pazera) to convert the FLV files and I got some crappy results... but then I used Smart FLV and got much better results.

I guess I'm just trying to figure out a way tha I can convert FLV files and have them look as good as possible when I burn them to DVD and play them on my DVD player. =-/

Use this program to encode your flv files to MPEG 2 NTSC or PAL, DVD compatible format.

The you could use nero to burn the DVD.

i usually do this coz its just much better to watch u-2b clips on tv.

im not a very technical person but i hope this will help.
let me tell u first what i got.
i have a 42" tv & a dvd player (samsung) that can play AVI files.

i just convert my flv to avi with Cinemaforge.
burn it in a cd/dvd then have em in my dvd player
and im very very satisfied with my result actually
considering it came from flv

im not sure what dvd player u got but i hope urs can play avi too

Hiya..ive just read your post about flv converting if you do manage to do it successfully let me know because ive found for the most part unless the flv is excellent quality to begin with its going to be below average quality at best especially on a big tv, just try and copy things with very little action or movement lol to keep those pixels at bay,also you may want to try ACALA DVD CREATOR itll convert and then burn straight to disc extremely quick straight into a dvd format that will play on every dvd player out there. Im trying Adobe Flash CS3 Professional at the moment i'll post if improve it any.

I think the quality of FLV itself not so good. Currently I'm also converting avi files to dvd files, the picture quality was excellent.

Many thanks in advanced!!
