About Conversion from AVI to DVD

[Nafeasonto]

Hey Folks,

When I create my DVD in Ulead's DVD Workshop and I am all done after some times and creative time creating the DVD, I come to the part where I am going to actaully burn it, high quality requires 6.7 GB on a DVD disc, good is 4.0 GB. Now my question is, is there anyway to burn the DVD on high qulaity on a 4.7, because I don't understand how all my DVD's at home that are amazing quality and all are burned on ONE side, on single layered disc, why I would have to burn this custom made on a bigger DVD disc?

Would i use DVD2SVCD first to convert it to DVD, then edit it through the WOrkshop? Then burn it for the same quality?
Or is there another way?

Sounds like you set your bitrate too high. How long is the video?

[Nafeasonto]

About an hour and 20 minutes, how do I set the bit rate with Ulead Workshop?

If you click on 'Change MPEG settings" you will see that at 'High Quality" the bit rate is 8000/s which can only fit 1 hour on a dvd. You will have to use the good setting to fit 90 minutes.

But how do all these regular DVD's that come out fit so much on one DVD, do they use some kind of differnt compression??

I mean patriot is three hours and fits one one DVD it makes no sense to me.

Many retail factory made DVD discs are dual layer so they have nearly double the capacity as a normal DVD blank you can buy and use with your burner. The technology to create such a disc is totally different from the way "us" normal people burn DVD discs.

However ...

Dual Layer DVD burners you can use yourself are just now comming to market but so far the blank dual layer DVD recordable discs have yet to surface and when they do it is expected that they will cost between $8 to $12 US Dollars per disc!

Also consider that studio factory made DVD discs start from a very high quality master quality A/V source. Such a "clean" video source can look good even at bitrates we might consider somewhat "low" because the cleaner the video the lower the bitrate can be before compression artifacts start to show up.

Captured video can be very high quality (or not) but is never going to be as good as the stuff a studio has access to.

Thanks for the explanation. My friend was talking about a way to trick the program, to actually fit a very high quality movie onto a disc not duel layered. Something to do with ISO's.

Okay this is now making now sense to me, I need a guide on how to do this. I just downloaded a DVD off of Suprnova that the person has Terminator 1, 2, 3 all on one DVD disc, (and it's preety damn good quality.) That is some amazing compression how is this done?? And another thing is that an SVCD is smaller then a DVD but is too big to fit on a CD-R how does Ulead expect to burn it on a such a thing, is there some secrets I do not know. There is something that's not right.
