qustion about DVD compliant mpeg 2

Post by perfection »

Suppose i have a dvd compliant mpeg 2 file that is 5.5 GB and i wish to fit this on a DVD-5 is it according to vs compliant and will it smart render. In other words lowering the bitrate to fit on a single DVD is equal to the program NOT smart rendering?

Then how does one fit a home movie larger than 5BG on a single DVD with menus without processing twice and wasting time or how can i produce a DVD complaint mpeg 2 from a source sing VS that i can be sure will fit on a DVD 5 with menus

Wish VS would iroduce a fit to one dvd feaure that almost ALL editors (even those less superior to VS) feature today

Hi

If you change the bit rate to reduce the file size then Smart Render will have no effect as every frame has to be re-coded to the lower bit rate.

If you have a Duel Layer DVD that contains a movie of say 5.5Gb, (you don¡¦t say where you got your movie from)
When you import the movie to Video Studio there should be no re-coding.
You edit the movie and create a new video file reducing the bit-rate accordingly, allowing the file to fit a single layer DVD at 4.3 GB
Using a bit rate calculator will help in selecting the correct rate.

The new file being used to burn a DVD.
Only one render has been performed.

One of the earlier versions of VS did have a fit to disc option,(can¡¦t remember which) but this renders the video.
