  1. I'm authoring DVDs.

    I'm:

    -Capturing with ScenalyzerLive via firewire through my camcorder.
    -Ripping the audio into .wav with VirtualDub.
    -Using VirtualDub's info function to determine the number of frames.
    -Converting to .ac3 with ffmpeggui @ 192kbps
    -Calculating my bitrate with cceguesser.
    -Frameserving the .avi to CCE with AviSynth using a 2 pass VBR.
    -Authoring with TMPGEnc DVD Author.

    According to cceguesser, with 181570 frames, using Multi-Pass VBR and an audio size (ac3) of 141993 KB, I should be using an average bitrate of 5858kbps to fit on a single layer DVD. The video is around 1 hour 42 minutes long.

    The problem is, when I go to "create a DVD folder" with TMPGEnc DVD Author I always get this message:

    "The combined bitrate of the clip exceeds the upper limit for a standard DVD.

    The current bitrate is video: 9800kbps, audio: 192kbps, combined: 9992kbps.

    The combined video and audio bitrate can be no more than 9.848Mbps (9848kbps)."


    What am I doing wrong? Should I be calculating the bitrate based on the .wav filesize, not after it's converted to .ac3?

    Thanks,
