mpeg1 dvd bitrate

[Solarflair]

ok what i have are mpeg1s on dvd. Im going to deplux them and then re-encode back to mpeg1 and put on dvd again.

I know for vcd bitrate is like 1100. What bitrate can mpeg1 that is going to be on a dvd media go up to?

Im wondering if i bump it up a little, will it make it more better playable? because at times this current dvd does pause for few seconds. Will quality improve as well??

The max bitrate for MPEG-1 on DVD is 1856 kilobits (see What is DVD (top left) for more info).

Upping the bitrate is not going to help you with the last two.

how can i reencode and fix those freeze problems?

Hi Solarflair,

I regularly encoded AVI files to MPEG1 files that comply with the VCD standard (i.e. about 1115kbs) using TMPGEnc, and then create a DVD based on these files (I can fit over 6 hours on a single DVD) using TMPG DVD Author. The resulting DVD invariably plays without any problem.

Hope that helps.
