Burning DVDs from PC.

[ta2]

Hi,

I was just wondering what sort of quality I would expect if I output S-Video into a DVD Recorder (probably the Philips DVDR70). Would the quality (on max 1hr setting) be as good as normal DVD? What kind of resolutions are the various recording settings?

Just to clarify, Outputing S-Video from my GeForce 4200 card, to the DVDR70, then recording onto a blank disc should work fine shouldn't it?

Thanks in advance

The method that you're talking about is a digital to analog back to digital conversion. Every conversion results in a loss in quality, so no...it will not be as good as a normal DVD. Having said that, you may be satisfied with the results. Try it and see.

The best method is ripping the DVD to the hard drive of your computer and burning to disk with a DVD writer. If that isn't an option then your method may be your best alternative.

If I was to play a (eg 640x 480) Divx File @ full screen in windows media player, would the quality during the transition go down at all? Or would it be just as good as the original file.

Thanks

Only as good as your display, but it depends on the source.

What if I took the pin out of a hand grenade and dropped it by my feet, would it blow my legs off above or below the knee? Maybe I'll try it and document the results.

It depends. :P

Does it bounce? Is the earth soft or hard? Are you wearing boots? How long are your legs? Too many variables.
