timeline to render ratio

[John Rofrano]

[ed vandenderen] “Does anyone have an idea of how the minutes shown for a total project on the time line equates to the gig total once rendered using sony avc codec to blue ray?”

A 25 GB single-layer BD recordable disc can store approximately 3 hours, 42 minutes of AVC video (15 Mbps) or 2 hours, 15 minutes of MPEG-2 video (25 Mbps).

A 50 GB dual-layer BD recordable disc can store approximately 7 hours, 25 minutes of AVC video (15 Mbps) or 4 hours, 31 minutes of MPEG-2 video (25 Mbps).

John, thanks so much for the help.

Is there any loss of quality with avc@15000 vs mpeg@25000?

Seems as though I used avc once before and as I remember it was just fine.

thanks again

Ed

They are visually about the same.

Well… it’s anyone’s guess how long those shiny discs will last. I’d say it’s as good as DVD’s were and they seem to be holding up well. 😉

You need to stay within the Blu-ray spec so just use the MPEG2 Blu-ray templates @ 25Mbps and you should be OK.
