Problems With NeroVision Express

[Keaton231]

I'm attempting to put several videos on a dvd using NeroVision Express. I managed to get the amount of videos I wanted, but it exceeds the space limit by 0.01 gigs. This is very frustrating. Is there any way to compress the video a little bit? I have already changed the speed to super long play, but it only helps a little. Also do any other NeroVision Express users think this program is a little glitchy? Thanks for any help.

looking at your sig i assume you have experience with tmpgenc, why not re-encode 1 file to a LOWER BITRATE USING THE WIZARD?

[Keaton231]

I will try that, but the reason I wanted to use Nero is because it does all of the encoding and authoring in one job.

Or just load it into DVDShrink, should transcode it very fast.

[Keaton231]

I don't think I can use dvdshrink, because the files I'm trying to encode are MP4s.

Have you tried the Nero Express short lead out feature under - Preferences - Expert Features. It saves 12mg when burning onto CD. I'm not sure whether it works for DVD as i've never tried it, but it's worth a shot. There is also a feature for DVD overburn.

I have tried using the overburn but usually it won't burn at all or it will get stuck at somewhere around 30%.

Also I thought that I would try taking one of the files and cutting out a small portion of the credits, but I don't have a video editing program that can recognize mp4s. Are there any?

?

Does not Nero Recode allow you to edit the start and end?

I tried Nero Recode, but it didn't seem to have any cutting and splitting features. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

If the mp4 file you have is DivX or Xvid and if your PC has DivX codec installed, you can use VirtualDubMod to make the selection part of the video you want to keep or to change its bitrate to compress your file down more

[Keaton231]

Ok thanks I will try that.
