Tmpg quality a bit higher would be nicer, prob a simple answ

[bwodie]

hey folks
well im using tmpg to convert my dv2 files and that.
when i encode i put the quality on high, but the files still come out to like 1 gig and stuff and thats only 2x500 meg files, i really want it to come out to 1.4 gig (2x700 meg cd's) what are some options i can put on to make it better quality (picture)
thanks in advance

consider making it a xvcd using a higher video bitrate. i use 720x480 ntsc.... just get ur video bitrate up to where the total file size is under 1.6 gigs.....i also lower the audio bitrate to 128. on a 80 minute cdr u can put about 830 mb of video on it. jus use a higher res and play with the bitrate. that will improve ur video quality dramatically

isnt there just some things i can easily tick that will jack the quality up?
i can only make VCD's cause thats what my dvd player supports

Bwodie man, not to be funny...but he answered your question, you just have to play around the settings to fit it to your liking...A)TPMG is beta software still & B) simple "ticking" is not going to be the answer....this program has a LOT of selections that will improve quality, you have take time and play around lie I did and sure most others have has well...quality is like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder....now I can send you my baseline template, you and can go from there...
