Hi,
I'm a newbie to GKnot and so far am making progress. My question(s) concern interpreting 1 CD = xxxx MB and Number CD.
My projects are encoding DVD (4.7Gb) to Xvid for playback on a standalone via DVDR. Primary concern is what does 1/3 CD/DVD to 1/6 CD/DVD represent? Can you give me an example of what I should use for a DVD @ 1:29:20? I'm learning this program gradually and so far it seems great!
Which Xvid profile is recommended; AS@L5 or DXN/Home Theatre NTSC? My standalone supports Divx/Xvid
In advance, thanks for helping me over this small hurdle....
You can either select from the defaults quot;1 CD =quot; or type in your own parameter. This field is intended to match the capacity of the media you're using. You may find that the default 4479 won't allow you to select 1/2 DVD - you can either enter the parameter manually (i. e. 2239) or lower the 1 CD = field. I personally don't like to try and cram a DVD-ROM completely full.
No one can tell you how you should encode a movie given its length because there are far too many adjustments that can affect the quality, not to mention your own eyes are what it needs to satisfy. Quality is affected mainly by file size and resolution. There are general rules of thumb, for example if the Bits/(Pixel*Frame) window is red, your end file will be crap. A compressibility test will give you a better idea because it examines the video itself (though not all of it, so it won't be 100% accurate).
Check dvdplayers to see which settings will be compatible with your player . |
