bitrate

[fiercekid84]

if a original dvd disc bitrate is 6000 and i want to encode a 25 min avi video with TMPGenc at 8000 bitrate will it consider as a xdvd or just as same as original dvd but with higher bitrate?????

[flaninacupboard]

DVD supports up to 9.8mbps for video bitrate, any higher than that would make it an xDVD.

[fiercekid84]

9.8mbps = how mani bitrate?????

[flaninacupboard]

nine point eight megabits per second. (9.8Mbps)

or nine thousand eight hundred kilobits per second.(9800Kbps)

[fiercekid84]

but tmpgenc only can reach up to 8000 and how do i go up to 9800 and can such high bitrate playable on dvd stand alone player ???

[flaninacupboard]

TMPGenc goes muvh higher than that, 15mbps in MP:ML mode and i believe 50mbps in MP:HL. If you are limited then you are probably using the wizard.

the DVD specification supports up to 9.8mbps, so every dvd player will play a disc at that rate.

[fiercekid84]

so can teach mi how to set to 9800 bitrate

[flaninacupboard]

turn off the wizard and adjust the bitrate manually in the first options tab.

wait for it....

Should we add at this point that making the bitrate 9800 is not going to "enhance" the quality at all and is probably overkill ?

The other thing is that the combined bitrate can go to 9.8MBit. That is, audio + video combined, not just video.

After system overhead, the maximum rate of combined elementary streams (audio + video + subpicture) is 10.08.

and

Maximum video bit rate is 9.8 Mbps

I agree with you about it being overkill in most situations though

yep. I had my numbers mixed a little.
