sick 96 250 said:Ok i have a DVD burner on my comp and I can burn them, however the quality isnt all that great most of the time. I'm not sure if its the file size or what.
Example: I downloaded Scary Movie 4 that was ripped from a DVD from someone else. The total file size was 701mb. Now the DVD disks says 4.8GB of data possible but this is what comfuses me. If I try to burn it in its high quality stage to DVD it says I am over the limit by like a 1000mb or something crazy like that, maybe even more. However I can burn it using regular format but thats when you can really tell the DVD is kinda choppy, almost to digitalized and you can see the pixels showing.
Maybe it is just my program or something or I am not doing something I need to be. I have Sonic Record Now with MYDVD. It says MYDVD plus in the file but I dont think it is for some reason. I can get access to any other program that would be better than SONIC but I dont know what I need. I believe my write speed is also around 8x for burning DVD's and 52x for CD's.
It also takes forever to burn friggin DVD's, almost makes it to much of a hassle to do it but thought I would see what I can do to get it better quality and even speed things up.
sick 96 250 said:ok then, lets say i have a video that is 700mb and want to burn it to a DVD, how do I do that without losing the quality of it? Since you gave me some great input already i would assume you have an answer for this? I was using Scary Movie 4 as an example, doesnt matter what type of DVD I burn, if the file is close to 600-700mb in mpreg or AVI form I cant get it to burn and still look good, no matter if its a video off the net or one I tried to put together from a camcorder

sick 96 250 said:I actually have DVD shrink on my comp but I cant seem to really understand it. I have a bunch of video from my truck meet we had with a bunch of guys plus other footage of racing and such. That sits around 624mb in AVI form i guess. So would DVD shrink be able to work with this to compress it cause that does the same thing or is that only for loaded DVD's in the drive? I am trying something now with my DVD burner so maybe it will take care of the problem. There was a spot that said fit file to DVD but when I clicked on it I always got must puchase the Deluxe kit, I ended up right clicking on the VID and clicked on the same thing through that and it seemed to fit it properly but its not done burning yet. Take forever to burn I guess since I'm on a 8x speed at most i'm assuming. It just doesnt seem like SONIC has to many prefs to change around to make work quicker or anything.
FruDaddy said:If you are trying to burn avi to dvd you need to render it as mpg2 at the proper resolution first (don't recall the specifics right now). There is a piece of software called tmpeng that might be able to help you out, but you'll have to find it yourself. I use Movie Studio for my video editing needs. Then I burn with Nero. I get pretty good quality out of SVCD's this way, but have yet to bother with burning actual DVD's, as the stuff I put together is usually less than 30 minutes.
sick 96 250 said:ok cool, NERO 7 it is, I will give it a shot tonight and see what happens. I had a feeling this SONIC program wasnt all that great, its burns CD's pretty quick but DVD's are just slow, my one buddy has the same speed burner and his completes in a 1/4 of the time. Right now its been an 1.5hrs and the DVD isnt done yet so hopefully Nero will take care of it a little better.
sick 96 250 said:I dont plan on burning all that much, but its just nice to be able to do it in a timely manner and not get crappy quality for the most part. I have seen my buddies burn a lot of movies they downloaded off the net with no ill effects compared to what i got going on. I just installed Nero 7 Ultra so I will give it a test tomorrow, got work in 6hrs so I am going to get some sleep now. Thanks for all the help so far guys
yeah i kinda figured that, I have only 512mb of memory but it shows only 488 in the profile for the comp when I pull it up. I thought I had more but that with my old computer that took a dump. How do I figure out what kind of memory I need? I completely forget how to do that?IndyYZ85 said:More memory will just make the whole DVD burning experience much better. Anything under 512mb in my opinion is just painful. But, my machine is sportin 2 gb...
