Ok thanks i tried it. It gives me only one file of 63GB but the file is bugged. After 5 minutes of playing, it just stops.

Also, there is like a "lag" in the video (and it did it either with the 14 files and with the big file). Every 5 or 6 seconds, sound and video freeze for like 200ms. It is annoying. An idea?

I tried to convert directly from the mpeg-2 352x480 to mpeg-2 720x480, and it seemed to work just fine... Can you tell me exactly what's wrong with this version?

if mpeg to mpeg works for you go with it.

I tried to convert in 720x480 and it worked and i did the authoring with "nero vison" because i own it but the rendering on the DVD player (after burning) is just "not good". When the camera moves, it is not smooth, i do npt understand.. can you give mu an advice to try please?

[minidv2dvd]

did it play ok before authoring?

[angamandi]

Well, on the computer it is just fine either before or after authoring.
But on the TV, the image is good when the camera do not moves. When the camera moves, as i said, it is a little bit blurred.

Maybe it is the way it should be... or maybe it is like that because of the snow... or maybe there is a filter to apply...

Also i have another question: can we apply a filter to a converted file? Because i cut and convert my .VRO file into an .MPG, and then i tried to apply a deinterlacing filter, but it did no difference between the original.

i think that's just the low quality 352x480 mode of the camera. i would hope the high quality mode was better.

for dvd you should leave it interlaced. if it were going to be a computer streaming video then you might de-interlace.

Ok thank you very much!

I think you resolved all my problems

I will record my final rushes, do the editing, authoring, joining etc... and i will let you know if everything went fine.

Thank you very much again, see you soon!

Hello again!

I am pretty that you will think: "This guy is a pain in the ass...."

And you'll be right!

Before finalizing my project, i would have 2 general questions:

1) When i convert my .VRO 352x480 in .MPG 740x480, at the same time, i cut half of the scenes, but the final file size is 2GB (same as the original). Is it normal?
(Because i thought it would be smaller, with that size, all my cutted scenes, don't fit on one DVD. The excess is about 200Mb...)

2) When i do the authoring, do i need extra space on my DVD? Does the authoring take a lot of MB (a basic one i mean: 2 pages: 1 for the main title, 1 for the scenes selections)?
If yes i will have to cut more scenes, and it will be another problem...

Thank you for your answers.


PS: I am sorry but I am so far north and far from everything that I cannot get more DVD to do some testing, i have only 5 DVDs and no RW, i would like to do some tests but i can't i need to keep my DVDs for my final burning... So i am asking a lot of questions... I apologize for the inconvenience.
