Reduced quality

[aznraver1022]

I'm using mySonic DVD maker and put a DV type-2 formatted video on it and made a succesful burn. But the quality sucked! how can i keep it as crisp and clean as the original?

How long was the video, and what bitrate did the encoder use? You might see better results using the 2-pass VBR encoding in TMPGENC or CCE, then import that into Sonic.

How do i transcode in TMPGenc? MySonic dvd i dont think gives me control of bitrate.

A problem i ran into while encoding in TMPGENC: should it be in mpg1 or mpg2? And, no matter what interlacing option i pick, the final product always shows those nasty horizontal lines.

Mpg2 for DVd and mpg1 for Vcd. can also use mpg2 for Svcd.

Mpeg2... look to the right under "what" is for the full DVD spec. Those lines are interlacing and should be there it is how made for TV video looks on a Computer monitor. You will not see them when you watch it on a TV. For computer playback you need to use software specifically designed for playing DVD on a computer such as PowerDVD to make it look normal.

Alright thanx, one last thing, what bitrate should i set it to?
