Truly a conundrum. If one posits that the question is indeed silly, then does the reader not take upon himself a measure of that silliness by stooping to answer? Would a sane viewer not choose to distance himself from the silliness so as to avoid its stain? But then again, is the silliness of the question not dissolved when a sane man stops to answer? By treating the question as serious and of worth does the viewer not automatically raise the question from the philosophical dust and imbue it with a luminous, almost heavenly, logical glow?

Truly, does a serious answer not lift the question from the gutter of the unasked?

Is any question not bettered in the uttering?

And to you, my men, I say "YES!" Raise up those questions! Ask the unasked! Seek! Ask! Go forth and search out the knowledge that searches for you, and rise with me en masse, as a single voice, and say "NO, YOUR QUESTION IS NOT SILLY!



Well, okay... maybe it's a little silly.

Sorry something went wrong but don't know what. The post should have read:

Can anyone please help with this question?

I have been getting to grips with the software that I have down loaded. I had earlier problem with TMPG and the Audio/Video bitrate settings but I have since overcome theses problems. What I would now like to know is if I change the video bitrate to the suggested figures given by the bite rate calculator, which incidentally would put the file at over 4.7 GB. Could I then use shrinkdvd to put it on a dvd or would this just reduce the quality back to what it was before I’d spent 4 hours running it through TMPG

Using DVDShrink is the first option I'd try.

No need to reload TMPGEnc and start all over, unless you don't like the results you get from DVDShrink.

[macleod]

TMPGENC is an encoder while dvdshrink is a transcoder. I dont know the specs of "over 4.3 gig" as in how much over. If the encoded file is a little bit over, then I think that dvdshrink would be just fine, but if it is say 8 gig and you want to shrink it down to 4.3, I dont believe that it would give you a better picture than if you just encoded to 4.3 in the first place. I have never done what you are trying so wouldnt hold a lot of stock in my reply.

Yep. I noticed that haloblack especially was flexing his philosophical sarcasm muscles ...what a post

[Towbar]

Yes Hands up to Haloblack the response was just perfect


In view of his witty response and declaration that ""NO, YOUR QUESTION IS NOT SILLY!"

Do you think I should title all my posts "Is This A Silly Question"?

it certainly got me a quick response

Merry Christmas to All lol
