Nero Digital mp4

[omega_weapon]

Hi. I have seen some posts about the new format "Nero Digital". I have used myself Nero Recode to rip a few DVDs to this format. Almost every post I read, says that Nero Digital is great, awesome, in quality. I wish to know what Settings do they use because the movie I encode recently seems prety pixelated. I used 720 x 480 resolution, 44.1khz audio, 96kbs
and subs. i dont remeber if i used 2 pass or fast mode.
And speaking of mp4, divx or whatever, why use this format? why rip and encode my movies in this format if I have a standalone DVD player, and a dvd burner? is better to burn it as DVD; you can watch it on your tv. with very good quality and keep the audio tracks, subs, nice menus..
I would use this format if I didn't own a Standalone DVD, just a PC. But watching movies on a PC is not so confortable. VCD, doesn't have very good quality but you can watch it almost everywhere (PC,Stda. DVD, even PSX and Dreamcast )
Really is so nice this format?

You've just answered your own quastion. Of course it's better to rip a DVD to a DVD-+R. Divix will ALWAYS look as you describe, pixilated. Unless the setting a perfect and it is not a long movie. NERO Digital is obviously for the unlucky person who does not have a DVD burner.

I can't get this files (mp4) to play in other software than Nero Show Time and Quick time.
