Hello everyone,I've been using TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 for a while now to convert my HD video into DVD5 but in most cases the output size is not accurate although the app is stating the estimated and authoring size before converting.
I always end up with a 3 or 3.5 giga byte file instead of 4.xx+ file.
I'm using NTSC VBR 8bit progressive.
What things that i should set to get a file that will fit exactly on a DVD5?
Thanks.

Are you using 2-pass VBR?
What min/average/max bitrates do you set?
What is the running time of a typical video ? -
Yes, VBR is a 2pass only anyway.
The bitrate is between 4000 and 5000.
Video minimum time 90-100 min. -
So, re-encodimg amd doing so at a stingy bitrate is the typical hobbyist's idea of "quality"output. You can go up to 6200 VBR for that amount of video time. On the other hand, many people think that watching compression artifacts on a 60" TV is cool. Otherwise, what you can do is keep adjusting the bitrate upward until you have exactly 0 bytes of free space remaining on your disc.

I've tried to set the minimum bitrate to 6000 but it's not forcing it and it keeps using the average bitrate.My default bitrates min:2000 max:9000 average:~4000-6000
-
You can try lowering the minimum to perhaps, 300. Maximum is OK.
Can't you set an exact average with this program?
I calculated for a movie 100 minutes and 30 seconds, 448kbps audio,
a bitrate of 5600 kbps should almost fill the disk. -
For some videos it won't me raise the exact bitrate more than a specific number.The only workaround i'm doing is to save it as DVD9 then shrink it. :/

There are so many variables that affect the final bitrate and file size, one couldn't list them all. Usually, more action or great detail in a video takes more bitrate. VBR 2-pass would ultimately use lower bitrates in low-motion segments where higher rates aren't required. Soft pulldown reduces the bitrate requirement, interlacing raises it. Noise filtering, deblocking, GOP size, etc., also affect bitrate. Like many encoders, TMPGEnc can sometimes "stick" in a certain niche. Bitrate calculators are a starting point at best. To answer an earlier remark: yes, the app does allow setting a minimum bitrate. The app also has an Advanced section (hidden by default) where you can tweak other settings.

Thanks, i'm aware of the max DVD standard bitrate.I'm trying right now to use 6200 as you suggested in earlier reply but it forced me to use 6135 so i get 100% percentage bar at the bottom.
if i saved the file using CBR 1 pass as DVD9 then shrunk it into DVD5 using HC encoder in DVD Rebuilder is better or using the VBR 2pass in VMW? -

Yes i know but after exporting the file, media info states the bitrate as "variable" and max bitrate as "9200", while if i check other DVD media file i can see the exact used bitrate not just "variable".

The bitrate achieved from my test encode was 5192 kbps, approx. 92.5 % of the requested bitrate (5600 kbps),
even after setting it up as an mpeg output. It's using the standard mpeg (modified) matrix that many of these products use,
should be OK at this average bitrate. I'll have another look at it.Last edited by davexnet; 7th Jan 2014 at 17:49.

Using a 2pass encoding with ConvertXToDVD always end up with a full DVD5, why not in VMW?
-
I've noticed the same problem with recent versions of TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works. Since changing my capturing device, I now use Avisynth + HCEnc for my SD AVI to DVD projects and VideoRedo and MultiAVCHD for my OTA HD recordings. I still often use TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works to convert aac and mp2 audio tracks to ac3 (my little surround sound system works much better with ac3 audio)

different softwares , do things differently
thats like asking why a Ford mustang, doesn't look like a chevy camaroLast edited by theewizard; 7th Jan 2014 at 17:27.
