two movies one DVD

[james_stewart]

Ok here is my dilemma i have a movie, we'll call it

movie #1 this movie is 611mb at 1h 30min, 352x208 resolution, 23.976 fps, 806kb/s bitrate, audio is 128kb 64ch CBR 48hz

Movie #2 is 730mb at 1h 50min, 576x304 resolution, 29fps, 745 kb/s bitrate, Audio is 128kb 64ch CBR 48hz

will there be an quality loss if I try to fit both of these movies onto one dvd(4.37)?

It seems to me that movie #1 is very low resolution, would the quality in this movie increase if I converted it and burned it as 1 dvd?

Thank you for any answers

Surely. Check the guides in the forum.

well i've been through the guides and checked the forums but i haven't read anything refering to this. This is why I came into a Newbie room. I just wanted someone's expert advise on whether this would be a good idea. Or am I sacrificing too much picture quality?

No, garbage in garbage out. Convert it to low resolution(352x240) dvd instead.

should i even bother extracting the audio before I do this or just do a straight convert from avi to mpg2?

That depends on what soft you use to encode. If your encoder supports both video and audio as is in the AVI, there's no need to separate audio from video in the source. Whether to encode to system stream (mpg) or elementary streams (m2v + mpa) depends on what authoring package you use.

You are gonna lose quality no matter what. You always do when you re-encode.
