How To Make Best DVD From This MP4?

[abrogard]

I have this mp4 which lists itself (part of its name) as 1080p, x264, BluRay.

Want to make a DVD of it.

Tried to put it through DVDFlick and it was still going 12 hours later.

So I turned to Super and put it through it. Made an .AVI of it. Thinking that an .avi would process through DVDFlick quicker.

I set the config for 'no change' on video and audio.

Took about 4 hours.

The resulting AVI can't be read by VLC. Well, it's read but it just freezes at a blocky mess.

MPC reads and plays it (the avi ) alright but the graphics are worse than the original by a long way. Very pixellated.


So I haven't bothered putting it through DVDFlick. I can't see that it will make it better than it is.


Can anyone direct me to the best procedure/settings to adopt to get this little job done?

Where does the source come from? A camera? A Blu-ray disc?

MP4 to DVD-video, use AVStoDVD, with a two pass encode using the HC encoder. Make sure to set it to make a DVD with PAL standards since you are in Australia.

Unless it's one of the VERY early versions, you'd better run some serious antivirus, anti-malware software on your computer.

If your source "1080p.BluRay.x264.anoXmous" from torrent
It has low bitrate, then you encode it use ffmpeg embeded in DVDFlick, the quality absolutely more worse

For years I've had an old version working beautifully but for this exercise I was silly enough to follow their prompts and download the latest version. Aren't you right ! So much crap came with it. So disappointing. Super has always been up there with the 'goodies' for me and now it's been relegated down with the trashware.

But, I guess, maybe I'm a bit harsh - the prog itself still does the job?

Don't know how to include two quotes but regarding the origin of the thing - yes, it's a torrent, I downloaded it. It's not the one quoted though. It's for the kids. It's Alice in wonderland and what I've seen of it not worth having.. the old, old kids version is much better...

So Kerry has given me the answer? Use AVStoDVD? The PAL thing not really so important these days, I'm told? Our t.v. being flat screen modern can handle the both NTSC and PAL without a problem they tell me?

I'll try the AVStoDVD.

Thanks for the help.

Mp4 is not a blu-ray.

I'm moving you to our dvd authoring section.

Yes try avstodvd. It supports more videos than the old dvdflick.

[abrogard]

Yep, okay. The blu-ray, just telling you what was written in the name of the file. I don't know what it is about.

I'm trying the avstodvd. Just had to update my avisynth and stuff around a bit. It's working on it now. I'll let the thread know how it goes. Doubt it'll be tonight though.
