Mpeg2 to dvd with Dvd2One?

[Marco33]

This is what happens when you sit at home.

I can't wait for work to pick up.

Anyway...

Ok, say I capture a 2 hour VHS at 8000 bit.

That will give me a 8 gig file (give or take). I want to put this to 1 DVDR.

Option 1: Re-encode the file down with Tmpegnc, aprox run time 48 Hours.
Option 2: Re-encode with CCE $1000 out of pocket, aprox time spent making an AVS file... Still trying, I'll get back with you.

Option 3: Split the file. Author to 2 dvdrw's (no menus). Decrypt the dvdrw's too two folders, Use Ifoedit to reassemble the vobs as one movie. Use dvd2one to re-encode, Aprox run time 7-8 hours.

You could author your 8Gb file with SpruceUp and then convert that to 4.38GB with DVD2ONE,about an hour.

Disc image?

or

Tile set?

[wulf109]

Title set

Try this drop both Audio and Video bitrate down.
4500 to 6000 VBR set the Audio 224KHz MPEG Layer 2 that give 2 hour and room for the other stuff to.

Through Tmpgnc right?


Interesting problem has come up. Damn software will only capture 4 gig files.


I'ts always something.

Is your drive NTFS or FAT32? Yes you have that problem with FAT32 but not NTFS.

[Marco33]

Sorry I didn't fully explain that. The program will only capture 4 gig files. After 4 gig's it starts a new file. You can't set it any higher than 4 gig's.

I guess they are assuming everbody is Fat32.

I'm NTFS all the way.

What a delema.

Capture AVI in V-Dub over 4 gig, than convert to Mpeg2

OR

Capture 2 files to MPeg2 (With the software that came with the card) and join them.

It's always something.

Update:


Captured VHS 138 min movie set at 704X480 7900 bit, GOP 6 SubGOP 4, motion vector 16X16.

Because of my software splitting the file at the 4gig point, I captured 2 files (mpeg2). Cut & joined them in Tmpgenc. Total file size 7.5 gig.

Ran 2 test dvdrw's

1 through dvd Shrink, #3 setting, 4.2 output size.

2 through dvd2one 4.4 & 4.3 output size.

NO menus

A very noticable blockiness constant at the top of the screen from dvdShrink within the first few minutes.

From a VHS master to dvd, dvd2one wins.

Next step.

With a movie & dvd2one I don't care about a menu.

But, Im doing a episode vhs to dvd and would like a menu.

After dvd2one does it's thing, making sure to set the output size a little smaller to leave room for a menu. I am left with 4+ gig's of vobs.

Does Unlead or spruce up read vobs?

I guess I need to re-rip the new vob's. I know how to do that from a dvd disk. Never have done it from the HD.

Hmm...
