OkAy LeT Me GeT YoUr AtTeNtIoN! I Need some DVDR Help!

[Oshion]

Okay my last post I was shouting, I apologize for that, just trying to get some input as no one answered my first post: OKAY here's the SITCH!!!

I have ATI, I have been to smurflord site and have read up on how to capture, for the future, I also read about TMPGEnc but after the second paragraph it seems Chinese to me (no racial thing here, just that Cantonese or Mandarin are considered the hardest languages to learn and it seems like a good comparison at this point, anyway, I am digressing.......)

So here's my setup, I have already digitized video that I want to burn on a DVD. I have TMPGEnc as well. And DVD builder.

1) I used Showbiz to edit the DVD. What is the best, most flexible movie editing software, and what is the best & flexible DVD building software (I think DVD builder is flexible, not sure if it doesnt burn correctly). And I have the top of the line TDK 440N DVD writer.

2) Now if I use TMPGEnc to clean up this video, what options do I play with and what do I want to check in there to get the movie to clean up.

Okay thanks!

I got Showbiz software included with a Dazzle DVC-100 device I bought a year or so ago. Needless to say, I never once got acceptable results using that hardware or software. Showbiz is muckety-muck junkware as far as I'm concerned. Same for the Dazzle unit. It's a doorstop now. Do yourself a favor and scrap it. Go download a quality piece of software like VirtualDub and use it for your editing, scene chopping, etc. The thing I remember most about using that Showbiz software was the way it would just up & crash all of a sudden while you were editing.

What do you mean by clean up ?
TMPGenc is an MPEG encoder.

To make a DVD you need to do 4 things
1. Encode your video to DVD compliant MPEG2. (TMPGenc)
2. Process your audio to DVD compliant audio PCM,MP2or AC3 (TMPGenc will do MP2)
3. Author the MPEG2 with an Authoring program
4. Burn

Have you looked in How To ?

I agree with sacajaweeda .. VirtualDub is the best .. and you also will find a lot of plugins . very useful.. to edit your video.. or clean logos .. enter logos etc... Most of all it is free software... it was my first one i used with avi files
