There is a very simple way to stop NV3 encoding compliant files - uninstall it from your PC so you can't use it. While you are in Add/Remove Programs, uninstall WinAVI as well. This will finally start you down the path toward quality video.

When I burn a dvd with NV3 the movie has a malfunction ( i've got no idea if that's the right word ) and it doesn't play as smoothly as it does on my computer. So at least give me a solution for that....

Uninstall NV3 from your computer so you stop using it. Use ConvertxtoDVD and burn with imgburn 2 to good quality media. OR learn how to use the right tools to do it properly.

Yeah I get that, but I still want a menu on my dvd...

If you want to stick to the simple applications I'd go back and try whatever Ulead product you have tried. the only reason the file was large is because of whatever preset you chose. Filesize is determined by bitrate and the one you chose was high, noyhing wrong with that as long as you can fit the material on the disc...Originally Posted by Flying Doctor
Can't give you specific instructions but the bitrates and resolutions are fully adjustable in all the Ulead products, simply use a custom setting or use a lower quality preset. Once you get the idea you can experiment with different resolutions and bitrates to see what produces a good result. As mentioned above going from Divx to DVD and maintaining quality isn't exactly easy.
One last thing to note, if you use any of the ulead products there's a "do Not convert" compliant files checkbox/option somewhere... Using that it won't convert complinat files but there is a specific set of circumstances you need to get it to work right such as all your files being the same... -
Right thanks! One last thing, could you be more specific about the " do not convert etc " checkbox...

Your best bet is ConverXtoDVD, converts, calculates bitrate, creates menu, inserts chapters and burns as well.
Quality from DivX is as good as it can get. -
Not sure if it's the same title now you'll have to look around in the help or menus, but for example if you create a whole bunch of DVD compliant videos with the same exact specifications (specifically the bitrate and resolution), match your project settings to that it won't reencode the video. all the better authoring applications will do that, for that matter everyone should but for whatever some don't. As mentioned above that is probably one of the reasons you're getting poor quality, your video should be converted from DIVX to MPEG once and only once.Originally Posted by Flying Doctor
Their better disc authoring application allows you to create DVD's from video with multiple specifications as long as they are DVD compliant but that is not cheap. E.G. the bitrate and resolution do not have to match. -
Well I managed to get Ulead DVD Moviefactory 5 but how come all ( as you may know I convert with WinAVi and I've tried all the possibilities ) movies are the same ridiculous size of 1.08 GB? In Ulead DVD Pictureshow some of them are only 241 MB with is much better then 1.08 GB....

You chose fast encoding and then you wonder why it encodes? It is encoding to becasuse you set it to fast encode 1 pass (speed over quality)
Do yourself a favor and stop using NV3. -
Well I did ( watch the previous post )

Bitrate man.. bitrate... say it with me "bitrate". The file size is determined by the bitrate alone. BTW thats not some ridiculous size, MPEG requires more bitrate than DIVX so the files will be larger. 1GB comes out to about 1/2 hour of mediocre quality video.Originally Posted by Flying Doctor
I'd suggest you ditch WinAvi and start over from the beggiing with Ulead. -
Well my original files are .rm. I do have to convert them cause Ulead can't read them.
( Some of my files are DivX but most of them are .rm )....Kate: What's the big thing that happens every Monday at one o'clock?

Your reply when specifically asked that states they are Divx, there is no mention of .RM..... People can't answer your questions if you don't give correct responses.

You're right so let's get it straight:
I want to know how to put a DivX movie on a dvd
but I also want to know to put a .RM file on a dvd.
I do convert my .RM files but the piont is I can't properly
put a movie on a dvd because the sizes are so big
even tough I insert the same movie in Ulead DVD Pictureshow and in Ulead DVD Moviefactory. And if 1/2 hour movie is 1 GB,
how come an episode of 25 minutes is 1.8 GB? Or does that have something to do with Bitrate what you said before?Kate: What's the big thing that happens every Monday at one o'clock?

I just want to know how I can stop NV3 encoding my dvd files...

Yes, you can adjust the bitrate to whatever you want but lower bitrates equal lower quality especially when using files that have already been compressed. I believe there is a "fit to disc" option in Movie Factory as well which will set the highest bitrate you can use for the length of footage you have. Read the manual.Originally Posted by Flying Doctor

Right, so I've tried something else. Several times I downloaded an avi file and NV3 burns it perfectly, without the malfunctions.
How come when I convert a .rm file to .avi file NV3 still burns the
.avi file with poor quality. There shouldn't be a difference from the movie files I downloaded...Kate: What's the big thing that happens every Monday at one o'clock?

rm (generally really low q video to begin with) -> AVI (quality loss, if not uncompressed/Huffyuv/other lossless AVI)
AVI -> DVD (quality loss)
So, there should be quite some difference between your source and your finished DVD, since your process has twice introduced a quality degradation.

Got any suggestions about .RM files?

Don't use them as source - they aren't meant to be converted to anything else. Find a better source.
