Info on best setting.
I know this is probally a dumb question but I have been working with this program for a couple of years and have put together dvd's on the side for dance recitals and so forth. I just recentlly started my own company making off road dvd's. I put it all together and made a master, had it sent out and had 1000 made to sell. But when they came back they wouldn't play on alot of dvd players, what is the best way to save after you are done editing to make it most compatable with most dvd players. I could use any help with this, I am putting another dvd together right now, the first one went ovre really well but I need help with the converting area, I am just self taught at this and any help would be great thanks
How did you author the DVD's. We cannot help unless you send us details.
I take it your 1,000 copies were pressed, not copied onto DVD±Rs?????
The correct way for producing pressed DVDs is with a DLT which you send to the pressing house. Some houses may be able to use a DVD±R, but this is not recommended as any burning flaws may be transferred to the pressed copies. Authoring to DLT will also allow you to add copy and region protection, if you wish. This will require a better authorer than the one in MSP7, such as DVD Workshop 2.
Then, if the DVDs are burnt on DVD±R, many older players will not accept either format and some will accept only one format and not the other.
In addition, there is a question of bitrate. Many DVD players will not be able to decode high bitrates. I recommend you do not use bitrates over 6500 kbit/s (video and audio combined). I generally use 6000 kbit/s CBR for video and 192 kbit/s for AC-3 2/0 audio..Many commercial DVDs put on a ceiling of 7000 kbit/s video, but they use a very expensive multipass encoding. This value should be your absolute max, even with VBR.
