(9848kbps) upper limit ?

[noslow]

I ripped some video clips in Shrink 3.2, then when I tried to make myself a custom DVD using these clips in the TMPGEnc DVD Author DVD program, I get a problem window on how I exceed the (9848kbps) upper limit for a standard DVD.
How can I get the limit down to work with these clips ?

Click the 'ignore' button when you load them in DVD Author.

Yeah, the ignore button is easy. I just don't want to waste a burn & get something that is'nt going to play.

Well, TDA has issues in calculating correctly. This is a bug in the software.

You have to be sure you did not encode too high on your own.

Your max for DVD is 10080k

Thanks for the info.. Some of the rips are coming off at 98000, never seen many at that rate. Anyway i'll give it a run. Thanks.

Probably a MPEG header issue.

TMPGEnc DVD Author reads the header and often times the header is set wrong indicating that the bitrate is too high when in fact it is not.

Hit ignore and it will be fine.

I get this "error" all the time when I use TMPGEnc DVDAuthor to backup my commerical DVDs. I always hit ignore and I've never had any playback problems with the resultant DVD.

Yeah, I think they didn't fix this in "DVD Author Pro". It is probably because they are using 1000k to represent 1KB, instead of 1024k. Beware of the DVD Writing Tool also. It won't let you fill up the whole DVD to 4.7GB. 4482MB should be the maximum, but it won't let you write that amount. It's more like 4450MB. I've checked the burned discs, and there is always that space remaining.

Use Nero to burn the DVD, as it calculates space correctly. I already sent Pegasys an email stating I am NOT buying DVD Author Pro unless they fix these discrepencies!

P.S.
The hard drive manufacturers haven't got it right either. Stupid lazy engineers trying to scam everyone.

It's not the engineers, it's the marketing people. I would bet the engineers are frustrated all the time about this.
