dvd burning using a standalone dvd player

[dixlon]

Hello,

I went to my local audio/video store looking for a dvdr burner for my computer. I told the salesman I wanted the burner to rip and burn avi files to dvdr media. I also told him I wanted to copy dvds to dvdr's. He suggested I try a different approach by doing my ripping with my computer software and then burn it on a Panasonic DHRE20 recorder stand alone dvd player. He said the quality would be better than burning from a computer. The only thing the computer needs to have (DVD-rom) is a video card with a S-VHS external output to plug into the dvd player. With the S-VHS output the picture would be that much better. Does anybody agree with this. The signal processor on this machine is supposed to be very good.

Yeah umm, where are these people being trained. Idiots University.


Everyone knows you get a better quality if you rop-convert and/or encode-burn.


Always stay digital whenever possible. Whenever you use S-Video or RCA, you loose some quality.

Whereas a DVD rip is a perfect digital copy.

Also with DVD copy, there are utilites that will turn vobs into MPEG 2 video and audio that you just feed back into a DVD burning program

(in theory, you might be able to rip the vob, decode, rip the other files, decode and feed to Nero)
