Question about average DVD bitrate

[legionpc]

I'm very soon going to have access to a DVD burner. I will probably switch to DVD+R for my movies instead of SVCD.

I was wondering, what is the lowest acceptable average bitrate I should use for DVD? I have a movie that to fit on 1 disc will require an average of around 4.3mbps.... is this too low? I'll probably use 352x480 resolution.

Thanks

For average bitrate at that resolution that sounds fine to me.

Nice you feel that way. :P

Question about average DVD bitrate - YES 4.3Mb/sec is more than sufficient. High motion scenes may suffer , but for the most part it is close to the average bitrates of studio DVD's.
Keep in mind though the studio DVD has been mastered from a superior source with superior encoderss, so their 4 Mb/sec will be slightly better than your 4Mb/sec.

352x480 resolution = 1/2 D1 so yes go fo it !
