Hi there,
This is probably a known fact but as there are many guides right now on how to fit ONE movie on a single 4.3gb DVDR, i just would like to insist that ONE dvdr can hold TWO movies without problems.
About a year ago, when the A03 showed up, i made my firt attempt and managed to store "The mummy" and "Galaxy Quest" with one AC3 track and subtitles on ONE DVDR. Using Maestro, i simply added a start menu with the dvd covers.
I usually use TMPGEnc (CCE is still crashing on me) with a 2 pass vbr avg bit rate of 2.4 kbit (300 min., 9k max), which is quite higher than svcd btw.
The result is really good and i barelly see any flaws when i watch those movies on my equipment, which is not high end.

I use Kwag's KDVD Half D1 template in Tmpgenc and I can fit 4 (sometimes 5) movies on a single dvd-r!!
If only dual-layer burning was possible.. 10 films on 1 disc sounds sweet to meRealaT Bytes, but that's what life is. -
Hey, that's an answer to a question i had : "How far can we go ?"
Thx, will try the template.

Hi,
I m really new to all this so, could you please explaine me exactly how to fit 4 movies on ONE DVD. How do you use TMpeg for that?
Many thanks. -
Well, i am sorry but that's a too long road.
You better check the ripping guides available here and on doom9.org. But any precise questions are welcome
The general idea is to extract whatever is needed from the original dvds ( video stream, audio stream, subtitles,..), reencode the video streams to a lower birate in order to lower their file size, an then author a new dvd with all the desired content thanks to a high end software like DVDMaestro.
In this precise case, TMPGEnc (which is a mpeg encoder like CCE) is used to re-encode the video stream but it is not the only software you'll need.

Ok,
in fact, I know everything but the reencode. I use rempeg2 as a reencode software program but I get some strange things like fast moving images from left to right which is really anoying. The thing is that I don t know TMPGenc at all and I was wondering how to do it...
Thanks,
John. -
You should find many guides with all the infos on TMPGenc.
Check this one about Rempeg : http://doom9.org/mpg/rempeg2-dvd.htm

I am curious what template you use in tmpgenc and then, what authoring program you use to do such a task.
I am currently using the following settings:
stream type: MPEG-2 Video
Size: 720 x 480
frame rate: 29.97
rate control: automatic vbr (cq_vbr) set in 1000 - 2500 range (quality 50)
Audio is 48Khz MPEG-1 audio layer 2
bit rate is 224KBs
The file output for the Untouchables is about 2.3 Gb.
The other movie I am trying with is the Rock about 2.1 Gb
When I put them into Ulead dvd movie factory and run the program, I get an error that file is to big, and notice that the files have been expanded to over 3.5gb each.
ANy ideas?
Thanks,
Dan -
Hello!

I use the batch encoding facility so that TMPGEnc simply encodes all six one after the other, and for me (Athlon XP2000+) a set of six 25min episodes (150mins) takes ten hours.
I then output all six clips to Ulead Movie Factory and create menu's, chapters and a background sound cip for the menu screen.
I won't be doing it with movies as I'd prefer to keep as good a quality as I can but I'm sure the principle is the same.

Glad it helped.
PM (personal message) me if you're not getting the answers you need on TMPGEnc (it's a wonderful program, just takes a while that's all).
Good luck, and thank *you* for the courtesy (very rare on here)

Personally since I only pay $0.70 per disk it's not 'worth' squeezing 2 movies onto 1 DVD-R. Sure if I viewed them on a 32" TV I might but I use a 50" TV and believe me if I had 2 120min DVD on my TV (would need to use bitrate of 2100) I would notice a pretty big difference.
I you ever upgrade to a nice system you may find yourself throwing away all the work your doing if your compromising quality for quantity now, jmho though...

So, is this a job that the now infamous dvd2one could handle? I mean, people use to re-encode before dvd2one came along. Why should we bother to re-encode for this task? Why not just transcode???
Seems like it would save some mucho time.
