  • A job for Ulead dvd workshop?

    Posted by Annietron on December 18, 2006 at 7:59 am

    hello…

    I want to burn some episodes in a dvd. The problem is the dimensions of my videos are not allowed on adobe encore….so i finally decided to use ulead’s dvd workshop…..

    -is this software good or great?

    -my videos are: DURATION=50minutes, CODEC=Xvid, SIZE=699mb each. They have excellent quality (wich matters to me most) I know I will only be able to put 2 episodes per dvd (so the settings should be Good Quality-120mn insted of high quality-60mn) But i was wondering if there would be any big quality loss because of this settings….

    -I’m using subtitles too so i was wondering how visible do they look on screen cuz i didint saw they had any strokes or shadow option in ulead.

    :::::Thanx very much for your help::::: ^_^

    Encode XVid Videos with CCE or Canopus proCoder (calculate bitrate)
    Then use any authoring software – Ulead, Architect, Encore, Maestro, Scenarist…

    Ohh:) Again:

    Your DVD is 4’700’000.
    4700000 divide MINUTES divide 60 multiply 8 multiply 0.96 = total bitrate
    If you want to use AC3 sound at 192, then:
    Video bitrate = total bitrate minus 192
    Audio bitrate – 192
    Just set parametrs in CCE and press encode 🙂

    [Annietron] “Why re-encode an ecoded file?”

    because DVD can accept only MPEG1 or MPEG2 streams, not xvid/divx/mov etc
