Rendering for DVD
Hi I’ve posted the same question a few weeks ago but can’t find that post. Anyways I would like to know how can I render for DVD? It’s a very short video (6 minutes) so I can use the highest quality setting
Thanks

Render As….
Select Mainconcept MPEG-2
DVD NTSC template (For USA)
DVD PAL (for other countries)If you want to use higher bitrate, select “custom” button, Video tab and type in your bit rates.

I did that a bit grainy.

Hi!
Use Constant bit rate. And choose the highest available: 9800. -
9800 will, when you add audio, be too high for many DVD players.
-
What do you mean by “add audio”?
-
He means that, if you render your video at 9,800,800 (maximum allowable), you won’t have any room left for the audio portion of your project.

All DVD players that have the “DVD Logo” should be compliant up to 10.08 Mbps (10080 kbps),(Video+Audio+subs). If the player can’t sustain this bitrate on pressed or recordable discs, it is not compliant. And it shouldn’t have the DVD Logo, IMO. Personally, I would replace the junk DVD player, if it had trouble sustaining these rates.
I always use two-pass variable bitrate with 9800kb/s max + 256kb audio. This gives 10056kb/s, which is just under the maximum allowed.

The problem is that pressed discs are OK at that high a bit rate but I personally would never go that high on any burning job, even though I stick to Taiyo-Yuden and Verbatim media exclusively.
My feeling (and that of numerous other posters) is that that’s just asking for problems. -
Mike is absolutely correct. The reflectivity etc of a burned disk is significantly lower than of a pressed disk, and it is therefore more problematic for a player to read. If you burn disks at max bitrate, you are guaranteed to run into problems with a number of DVD players. Even if these play max bitrate pressed DVDs fine.
We may like it or not, but going far above a 9M or so in total bitrate with burned disks is just asking for trouble.
