90Mins/19.8GB to DVD-R Best Possible Way To Make DVD

[RobertAlvarez]

I have a 1HR 30Mins AVI from my Sony DV on my hard drive which is 19.8GB big! How do I make best DVD using my DVDR. Do I first convert it using TMPGEnc or do I let MyDVD/DVDCreator6 convert it for me?

Look under the tools section at the bitrate calculators. The only thing that effects the size of your encoded MPEG is the bitrate and the runtime. The size of your source has zero effect on the final size of your encoded file.

It's better to use a dedicated MPEG-2 encoder (like Tmpgenc) to do that. However, for DV files, perhaps the best price/performance option is to use CCE Basic edition. It cost more-or-less as much as Tmpgenc and is much faster. Tmpgenc, is however good also as it allows a wealth of filters (that make it's slow encoding even slower).

Filter wise you can get everything you want/need from AVISythn and frameserve to CCE. It's not as user friendly but it is free

What about Procoder?

Procoders good, but expensive............
