Different video resolution in the same DVD

Post by fbreve »

I'd like to create a DVD with clips of different resolution.
For example:

Videos from VHS source: 352x480
Videos from my digital photo camera: 352x240
Videos from hi-quality sources: 720x480

Nero does that without problem, but in Ulead DVD MovieFactory I have to choose one and only one resolution for all the videos.

I can encode everything using TMPGEnc and Ulead will not complain as long as the video is already MPEG-2 DVD compliant, but in this case I cannot insert texts and effects.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it a real limitation?

I think you are correct. (I've never tried that... I rarely put more than one "title" on a DVD.)

FYI - You should be able to do it with Video Studio. The procedure would be similar to your TMPGEnc technique - Create separate compliant MPEGs with the desired enhancements & effects, and then use these to make a DVD with either Video Studio or Movie Factory.

You can do it if you encode all your assets BEFORE bringing them into DVD MovieFactory. Then make sure you set MF to "Do not convert compliant mpeg files"
