I have some TV Episodes that i want to put onto a Dual Layer Disc. I can only manage to get 6 episodes onto the disc, anymore will reduce the quality. My little brother has the original TMNT cartoon series on DVD, it's a DL-disc with 13 episodes on it with excellent quality as expected. Can anybody tell me how i can put on more than 6 episodes without reducing the quality? Thanks.

That's a very subjective term. Unless you are an absolute quality fanatic 5) 24 minute episodes = 2 hours (about 5000 kb/s bitrate) should look fine on a SL DVD-5 blank. Use a high quality encoder like HCenc (free) or CCE if you like. If these episodes are standard Xvids the quality has already been compromised. Assuming that, if the Xvid bitrate is at about 1000 kb/s a DVD bitate over 4000 kb/s (4 times the Xvid) is basically not going to improve things.

That said for me, anything over 3 times the Xvid's bitrate, using HCenc to encode (it's especially good with lower bitrates), produces excellant results. I would not hesitate to put 12) 24 minute Xvids on one DL DVD-9 blank. The resultant DVD bitrate of about 3300 kb/s should be fine.
