Nero Encoding Bitrate?

[metranil]

Hi,

I am using TMPGEnc to transform AVIs into MPEG2s and then burning them as SVCD/XSVCDs with Nero.

On the VideoCD (first) screen of the new compilation template for SVCD in Nero, what is the best thing to check for encoding bitrate -- try to fit to disc size or user defined? Does Nero ignore this if you already have a MPEG2 loaded, or does it re-encode it again?

I would prefer to have Nero burn SVCDs without encoding it on its own -- is that possible, can this setting be toggled off?

Thanks,

Brian

Encoding video with Nero is like cutting the lawn with tweezers. I mean, sure, it can do it, but it's the crappiest way imaginable.

Go read the guides, and invest some time with TMPGenc. If done properly, Nero should NEVER re-encode.
