Good Video Data rate setting for DVD

[anbures]

Hi,

I have used ScenalyzerLive to caputure my video. It was producing a avi
file with data rate 3640.62 Kbps.
I have read somewhere that if the data rate is 8 Mbps, then it would really
very good quality video.
I am using the Sony dv output camera. How can I increase the data rate in ScenalyzerLive? or which capturing software is good for doing this?

is it really good audio setting ( 32 KHz ,16 bit Stereo ,pls refer the
image attachement)?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Anbu.

You(and some tools) are confusing byte with bit. 8 bit is 1 byte.
DV is around 3.6 Megabyte/s and that is around 28 Megabit/s.
DVD is around 3-8 Megabit/s and that is around 0.4-1 Megabyte/s.

So when are you converting the DV AVI to DVD you are reducing the size, lowering the bitrate.

28 MegaBytes/second for DV.

@mpegencoder:
better check that -- original post sounds good to me (about 28-29 mbits/sec including video, audio, and overhead for DV25)

Sorry to Baldrick, I misread that.
