Hi guys, im new to afterdawn, and I am finding it extremely useful, however ive run into a few problems thatI hope you guys can help me sort out.
I dont know if this first bit is related to my problem, but I think you guys should know the full gist of the problem :)
I recently got a new DVDRW burner (the scournfull NEC 1100A DVD+RW) that comes bundled with Dell machines. Now then Ive had all sorts of problems with the drive already - upgraded to the latest firmware and all that gubbins to make it actually work, I had thought to flash the drive to the NA 1300A firmwareas I have heard that this will increase performance and increase the DVD options the drive can read. I have not done this yet however as Dell are sending me a replacement DVD burner drive because they and I seem to be faulty, but I may have a go afterwards :P
Anyway back to my problem, I have followed the excellent guide to convert .avi files to DVDR format so I can watch all my old .avi backup movies on DVD, but I have come across a few problems.
1) following the avi to dvdr guide exactly to step 4 (creating the MPEG2 file) specifically the bitrate is where I am having the problems.
Using AVIcodec gives the following -
File : 695 MB (695 MB), duration: 2:07:16, type: AVI, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 45 %
Video : 596 MB, 655 Kbps, 25.0 fps, 7105636*272 (viDxvidvfw.dll), XVID = XVID Mpeg-4, Not checked
Audio : 98 MB, 108 Kbps, 44100 Hz, 2 channels, 0x55 = MPEG Layer-3, Supported
Im TEMPGEnc I have followed the guide to the letter: -
DVD - PAL using MPEG layer 11 audio, video type is non interlaced and at 1:1 ratio. Other settings are set to 2 pass VBR, non interlaced, 9 bits precision and highest quality motion search.
This is where i hit the problem.
video resoultion set to 720x576, the average bitrate is at 2000, the audio bitrate is 384, and DVD-R 4.7GB (UDF) is selected as the media type but the estimated filesize is 7208.55 MB, which is 171.63% of disk capactiy, and I cannot lower it. Therein lies my problem, I cannot create the DVD as the filesize is too big, I have tried the expert settings and lowered the average bitrate for 2 pass vbr to 1500, which fits the DVD but does not work, nor am I really happy with this solution because I do no really know what I am doing.
Could you guys please give me a hand ?
/edit
Having searched the forums for an answer to this problem there is someone having a similar problem to me but the only answer was to create some SVCD's which I am not after

DVD-R/+R n00b and proud :D
