Problem with TMPGEnc. I am trying to convert avi's to mpegs so that I can create an episodic menu. I am using TMPGEnc to convert the files to mpeg. When I try to convert the 200 MB files, they become 1.4 GB mpeg files. Now when I compress them to a smaller size, the result is not good. The picture only displays on about 1/4 of the screen. The rest is black. I have tried this with a 500, 600, and 700 MB file. The only one that seems to work is the 1.4 GB file but this is way too big for an episodic dvd. I want to be able to get 10-13 episodes on 1 dvd. Is there another prgram I can use that is good and works with DVDComposer or am I just screwing something up with my conversions? BTW, I have tried svereal different bitrates, I have tried frameserving it to VirtualDub, and I have read every other article out there but I cant seem to get this to work. Any help would be great. Thanks.

For the kind of bitrates you are talking about, I would suggest encoding at VCD resolution. Fact is that if you want to fit 13 episodes on a DVD, you are better off leaving them as avi's.

Thanks for the reply but is there a menu creator out there that can use avis? The ones I have seen only use mpeg audio and video.

This kind of question has been going around alot lately. Just forget about doing it. You can't get the same quality in a small file with MPEG-2 as you get with DivX. It requires far more disc space, as you've discovered yourself. The maximum you'd probably want to put on a DVD is 6 hours, and it will look like rough EP recorded VHS tape, but still watchable.

yeah you are probably right. I am trying 4000 bitrate right now. Hopefully it will look half way decent. If it doesn't I will just move on to VCD. Thanks for the help guys.

4000kbit/s is too high IMO. I'd shoot for five episodes at around 2500kbit/s. They'll look decent and you won't be wasting space by overdoing it on the bitrate.

Thats true. I will try them at 2500 and see what kinf of quality I get. At 4000 they are actually pretty decent. About the same as the original source. Thanks for the help.
