Am I encoding for DVD correctly?
« on: November 02, 2004, 09:33:06 PM »
I'm just making sure that I'm encoding my avi files correctly, I noticed that the audio and wav files are significantly smaller than the intitial avi. While I understand MPEG-2 is a compression method, I am a perfectionist and demand the absolute optimal available quality with no sacrifice for space. let me run you through my process:

I have video recorded with a Canon Optura 20 Mini-DV.  I connect to my comp via firewire. I record the video using Windows Movie Maker, set to "DV-AVI 25 Mbps".  Then using TMPGE I open the .avi and encode with these settings:

BUT, I changed:

Frame Rate: 29.97 fps (for NTSC)

Video Format:  NTSC
Line Audio CM4 / AT853Rx (c,h) / Studio Projects C4 MKII (c,h,o)
Sound Devices MP-2 / bm2p+ Edirol UA-5
Zoom F3 / F6 / Marantz Oade Warm Mod PMD661 / Tascam DR-70D

Initial avi will always be gigantic compared to the DVD file (d2v + wav).  I use ScenalyzerLive instead of Windows MM 2.  Much more reliable and moves you  away from the Bill Gates dominance.  Best $40 I've ever spent.


check it out. idiot proof.  Not saying you are, but maybe I am.
