If source video is Progressive you can set bottom or top.

“Progressive” flag is not DVD-VIDEO standart

[Roman Melekh]

Try Canopus ProCoder with “MASTERING QUALITY, 2PASS_VBR, 8000” setting
or Cinemacraft Encoder with 3 PASS VBR

Author in any software…

[Roman Melekh]

Try to encode with DivX/XVidD or WMV…
Or change resolution to 1920x____ and encode to HP@HP MPEG2 HD

[VideoSandra] “What is IMHO”
“In My Humble Mind”

[VideoSandra] “how do I save this to the Microsoft database”

When i press button “UPDATE Info” Windows media player say “all your changes about naming will be rewritten”
Then, imho, possible to rename Disk and Titles

[Roman Melekh]

You must use “Generic MPEG2” and then you can use any parametrs
I’m not sure about this resolution, and….how you (or client) want to playback this video file?
May be best choise will be downscale to HD format?

[Roman Melekh]

IMHO you can set your DISK and CHAPTERs names and save to M$ database
Then, when your disk will be dublicated, all your customers can see your info.

[Roman Melekh]

IMHO best way – once create utility
…today MPEG2, tomorrow MPEG2.. 🙂

[Charles Simonson] “You can’t change profiles without re-encoding.”

I’m encode (with Procoder) two files: first with hp@hl and second with mp@hl.
And i see, that this files differs….ONLY profile/level setting:

HP@HP hex dump
00 00 01 B3 78 04 38 33 │ 18 6A 37 51 10 11 11 12

14

it’s differs only at offsets #0A, #0B and #50. All other data is same data.

What can you say? 🙂

IMHO, i can to create small utility to chagne profile/level settings

[Roman Melekh]

I have no words……

Do you hear what is “bitrate”? By understanding what is it you can without your tools put to dvd disk up to 6 hours… 🙂

[Roman Melekh]

Hm….Depending bitrate you can put up do 6 hrs with 352×576 (480).
Just calculate bitrate and encode with any other MPEG2 Encoder
