dvd compliant capture

[resohed]

have a pvr usb2 capture card. under the quality settings i can change the bit rate. if i use 9800cbr mpeg2 48 khz 384 audio bit rate is that dvd compliant? media info program says the recorded file using the mentioned bit rate it is 9800 kps with 1 video & 1 audio stream. is that total including audio & video? in other words if i choose 9800cbr video in wintv2000 or maybe quenc encoder that will give a 9800 total bitrate including audio reguardless of audio settings?

Technically it is in the specs:

NTSC (NTSC Film)



Video:
Up to 9.8 Mbps* (9800 kbps*) MPEG2 video
Up to 1.856 Mbps (1856 kbps) MPEG1 video
720 x 480 pixels MPEG2 (Called Full-D1)
704 x 480 pixels MPEG2
352 x 480 pixels MPEG2 (Called Half-D1, same as the CVD Standard)
352 x 240 pixels MPEG2
352 x 240 pixels MPEG1 (Same as the VCD Standard)
29,97 fps*
23,976 fps with 3:2 pulldown = 29,97 playback fps (NTSC Film, this is only supported by MPEG2 video)
16:9 Anamorphic (only supported by 720x480)

However you could possibly run into some glitches with such a high bitrate. Just because its in the specs doesn't guarentee every player will like it.

BUT try it and see if yours likes it. Again it is WITHIN the specs but at the max setting.

9800 video + 384 audio = 10184 combined bitrate. This is a little too much, especially if you are using CBR. If you would use VBR, you may be able to get away with it, since very rarely would it peak at 9800kb for video. The specs for DVD is 10080kb maximum combined bitrate. 9800 + 256kb = 10056, which is entirely in spec. If a DVD player has trouble playing this sustained bitrate, it shouldn't be considered DVD compliant. Get a different player that is actually compliant and plays 10080kb total sustained bitrate. I created a test DVD with 9800 CBR video + 256 audio, to test DVD players. If it won't play it, I return the DVD player to the store.

a related question i've been wondering, is it better to capture at dvd spec you intend to burn at if you're capturing with a hardware encoding card like the hauppauge pvr 150, or with such a card should i capture an mpg (uncompressed isn't an option) 12000 or higher with and then use tmpgenc to re-encode down to the proper size? If so should i go higher then 12000?

I'm capturing a VHS, and yes i read the sticky.

You are best not to re-encode if you don't have to.

ditto

For simplicity and retaining the most quality record at the max acceptable dvd bitrate. And adjust as needed for the length of the recording. Use a bitrate calculator to determine the proper bitrate to fit a single layer or dual layer disc so you don't have to reencode the source file. Using the right bitrate the first time saves time and quality.

have ulead movie factory 4. at the end you can change mpeg settings but the most you can choose is 8264. if you originally record at 9800 & 256 audio does it consider it non compliant & reencode to 8264? there is a box to check saying don't reencode dvd conpliant though. anyone use ulead video studio or other authoring programs that won't reencode what ever the biterate?
