HUGE rendering files
Well basically Im burning a DVD with concert footage all in HD theres about 14 files all are about 400mb-650mb (in-total ther is about 4.5GB of footage) when it comes to rendering, as you can imagine it renders a 7min file to something like 2.3GB, I want to be able to burn in widescreen without loosing any noticable video and sound quality, I want to be able to burn all these on 2 discs with a menu on each, or just one if necessary, using DVD Architect – Thanks in advnced, MATT

Well… “noticeable” is a subjective term. DVD’s don’t do HD so what exactly do you think you are making? If you want HD then you need to burn Blu-ray or at least the Blu-ray format on physical DVD media which will still require a Blu-ray player to play it and limit you to about 20 min per disc. If you want to make a regular DVD then the quality loss will be “noticeable” because DVD has 5x less quality than HD. You could squeeze more HD on physical DVD media by using the AVCHD format which is part of the Blu-ray spec but again, the resulting disc will require a Blu-ray player.

well, I have fixed the whole, massive file problem by rendering it to MPEG-2 instead of .AVI, now the rendering takes quite sometime, but I will just leave it over night, as far as the quality what would you consider to put as my output options and preferences for burning a DVD with the best video quality? or do you think the MPEG-2 will do the job! cheers!

MPEG-2 using the NTSC Widescreen DVD Architect video stream template is what I use to deliver my HD footage on a regular DVD and it looks darn good. Not as good as my Blu-ray version but a really high quality DVD none the less.

Yea, I tried that template, definatley the quality that will do me, but for some reason there is no audio, Ive tried twice

Audio gets rendered separately as an AC-3 file.
Make sure it has the same name as the video file (i.e.myvideo.mpg & myvideo.ac3) and is rendered to the same folder.
Go into DVDA, load the video and the audio will follow automatically.So that your final audio doesn’t sound too quiet/soft, follow these steps:
Encode set to Dolby Digital AC3;
Click on Custom tab;
On the first tab, set diag. norm to” -31″;
On the last tab marked Preprocessing, set the Line Mode Profile
and RF Mode Profile mode to “none”;
Save this as a preset.
