  • Increasing the Minimum Bit Rate in Architect Pro from 9,800

    Posted by Victor Seckeler on April 22, 2014 at 7:27 am

    Is there a way to increase the minimum bitrate in DVD Architect Pro from 9,800? I am making a Bluray disc and when I go to change the minimum bitrate to 20,000 and hit apply, it immediately reverts back to 9,800.

    Thanks.

    Sounds like you have not changed the Disc Format to BluRay disc.
    Go to File – Properties
    First line in window properties.

    That’s just it. I have. I’ve also set the bitrate in the column below that to 30,500. But then when I go to Options — Preferences — Burning — the minimum bitrate is set to 9,800 and it won’t allow it to be changed to be a higher value.

    Thanks.

    I don’t know every single thing about DVD Architect Pro, but I am pretty confident that what you are experiencing is normal behaviour.

    This setting refers only to the Mininum Bit Rate if the video you add to the Project is needs to be recompressed. Which is only going to happen if you import a video that is too large to fit on a BluRay disc.
    If you render your video correctly in Vegas Pro first, DVD Architect Pro is not going to re-render it at all. So I don’t think you have anything to worry about at all.
    Maybe one of the Gurus here can confirm that what I am saying it correct.

    Yes, you are correct.
    If DVDA wants to recompress your media, then you did something wrong in Vegas.

    Thank you all for that reassuring news.

    Not to be Captain Obvious here, but if you specify a minimum bitrate of 9800 kb/s (9.8Mb/s), that IS the DVD maximum bitrate. Are you sure you’re setting/saying the right thing? And in DVD mode, that 9800 is a magic number. In Blu-ray mode, it’s meaningless, so it sure sound like you have a DVD project there. I doubt DVDA will allow a minimum set to more than whatever your maximum value is, either, for either media type.

    I just render in Vegas.
