  • DVD Studio Pro running time limit

    Posted by Aaron Zeghers on April 1, 2011 at 2:22 am

    Just wondering if anyone know’s the total running time I could fit onto one single-layer DVD using a simple DVD Studio Pro menu?

    The video would be down converted to 720×480 for the DVD.

    Many thanks,

    -Aaron-

    Menus are limited to 1 Gig so you need to keep that in mind for your bitrates.

    that´s no more a point with DVD SP.
    I´ve never seen a single menu, that will flood the 1GB-limit, and if you´ll have more menus, so the amount will hit the 1GB-limt DVDSP will swap these menus into the next VTSM.

    according to max. duration on DVD-5, I would never put more than 110-120min of video on DVD-5, and they should have a 2-pass VBR-encoding.

    this calculation includes that you´ll use 1 dolby digital audio-stream@192kbit/s.

    so you´ll have an average-bitrate at about 4.8-5.2MBit/s.

    cheers
