Problem When I Preview

[VaTo17LoKo]

Well ive been trying to burn a movie called "Brotherhood" on Nero Vision, a movie i downloaded. The thing is when i watch it on my computer everything goes smoothly and the quality is good but then when i dedide to burn it and preview it the image just gets blurry even though it doesnt lose any quality because it only uses about 3.9gb of the dvd. At first i thought it was the movie or something but the same thing happend when i tried burning Kickboxer and a few Naruto episodes, i thought it was just a preview thing so i just burned it to see if it would be ok on tv but it was just as it looked on the preview. I really dont know what it is because ive been able to burn other movies without any problems. Just need some help here, some opinions and suggestions, well thanks in advance.

Movies that you have downloaded are generally highly compressed and reduced in resolution. When you convert to DVD, you have to resize the image back to DVD resolution, which softens the image, and then re-encode it, which can degrade the image further. Add to this the fact that NeroVision isn't a great encoder, and you see the results you get. You also have to take into account the fact that your monitor hides many of the flaws int he original, and most playback software also has filters to smooth out problems like macro-blocks.

You have a couple of choices, however none of them will get you DVD quality from something that is much less than DVD quality to begin with.

Choice 1 : live with it. Anything else you do will only be incrementally better anyway. If you choose to download, then you choose to use poor quality source. Garbage in, garbage out.

Choice 2 : Use a better one-click tool. Personally, I think NeroVision is a heap of crap. None of the one-click tools will give top quality anyway, but NeroVision isn't high on my list. Try ConvertXtoDVD instead

Choice 3 : learn some avisynth, play around with some filters, and encode with HCEnc. It will take longer, but the quality will be better.

Choice 4 : stop downloading crap and either import the DVDs, or wait until it is released locally to you.
