  • Dvda3 – why to recompress a compliant video?

    Posted by Laszlo Kovacs on December 27, 2005 at 9:42 pm

    Hi there,

    I’m just finishing a dvd, on which there are
    multi angle parts.

    All of the videos are rendered to be compliant for dvd,
    however dvda wants them to recompress.

    Is this normal for multi angle projects, or am I missing something?

    Thanks,

    When using multi-angles, ALWAYS give DVDA a DV-AVI file as it will ALWAYS render to MPEG2 no matter what you give it – compliant or not. I was told this was because of the multi-angles and i-frames having to be in the right place, etc…

    Thanks Edward,

    I’m going to make some experiments
    what happens if I make sure an I frame
    in angle1 meets another I frame in angle2.
    Of course IBPB groups are the same, since the
    rendering template is the same.

    I’ll be back…

    …with the results sooner or later.

    Ok,

    No matter what I do, if the second video channel
    is present, DVDA wants to recompress the video.
    Eve if the other channel is empty, or contains
    exactly the same video.

    So, there’s no trick…

    When I specifically noticed this and asked about it, I was told that it would ALWAYS render when you had multiple angles. From that point forward I started using, and recommending, DV-AVI files when creating multi-angle DVDs. I think that as soon as it see’s multi-angle it just automatically renders.
