In the first play inspector, make sure you have your menu button “not set”. Then, in the menu inspector for whatever menu your in, set the menu button to whatever menu you would like it to return to.

Sorry 🙂 – I ment to say ” I would NOT use CBR because I wouldn’t need it”

With over 10 years being a professional encoder and 20 years as beta tester, author, consultant and trainer in the video industry , I have never delivered a high end job without using multi pass VBR.
To quote Ben Waggoner:
“No quality-concious encoder would ever put content on spinning disc without using 2-pass”To Quote a Videosystems MPEG encoder shootout wtitten by Barry Braverman, a veteran DVD author and designer.
“……VBR encoding produces a much higher overall quality than CBR at the same target rate……”
I dont agree….especially when compatibility and file sizes is not the issue. Ive disscussed this with Barry and he aggrees it depends on what kind of encoder your using and your content. ive seen first hand what CBR can do to compatibilty efforts. even if a player is able to handle bitrate spikes(which most do fine)…it kills me to know Im sending out a disc to a client with them on thier.
Now “high end” is a different story…but most people here don’t use high end encoders. If I were using an SD-2000 card..No i would use CBR because I wouldn’t need it.

” Can you or anyone say whether CBR is also preferable because it has a contant bit rate and is less likely to choke a marginal player because the bit rate is all over the place with VBR, particularly a VBR where minimum and maximum rates are acres apart? “
This is how I think..but many will argue it. My worry lies in the bitrate spikes that ALL encoders can produce putting you over the spec limit. You can put about 90 mins of MPEG on a DVD-5 with a CBR rate of 6mb/s. It just sound logical to me to provide a nice “clean” constant bit when its available.

I would say ALWAYS use CBR unless space is an issues. Low cost encoders tend to deliver bitrate spikes once and awhile that send your overall bitrate over the 9.8 limit.

Wait…720×540? That seams kinda odd. Another thing to try just to make sure is MPEGStream Clip:

Select any VOB then under “FILE” select get stream info and see what it says

Its reading the info from the TS folder. It if says NTSC, it certainly is.

https://www.mydvdedit.com/ its a MAC tool though
Check here to see if anything might be of help:

Always use a bit rate calulator no matter what job your working on:

Forgot to add – you can try and get a used Creator system which sonic discontinued making. it also only works with OS 9.
