My DVD Guide

All the 4545gb`s are 4545MB`s.sorry for the mix-up

[Dsquorpion]

when u run rempeg, ur supposed to divide 4.3gb by 5.06 gb, and that is the percentage ur supposed to reencode by it should be about 85% and it will fit on a dvd-r,

actually a 4.7gb dvd-r is 4300mb's and not 4700mb's

Hey alicia,

Maybe I can help you out a little:

First, you can find free guides to most of your problems at www.doom9.org.

Second, I have found that TMPG is a much better program than ReMPEG2 and if you want to invest a little money, the Plus version of TMPG is excellent. I've used both and TMPG causes far fewer headaches.

Alicia,
Swanside has posted a manual if u print it out and follow it to the letter it works, deviate and it won't.

Do any of you guys know how to stop the skips on the movies when they are played...
I think it`s the DVD-r`s that I`m using(Sony general ver.2)
Do you guys know any better dvd-r`s that will not skip and are good proformance/movie playing and what not.

What good brands of dvd-r`s do I need that won`t skip at all or is it the softwares that I am using...

thanks

[Dsquorpion]

[bloodywolf]

Alicia

and am having no problems with skipping

my drive is a sony 16x

my burner is a pioneer 4x

but still no problems. whats your outfit?

[swanside1]

Hey

hey guys, and Gals, hows it goin??

I use Bulkpac, as i live in the UK, I can get them from bigpockets for about 85 pence each,

I found that media that is only 1x rated is crap and skips about, the best I can say, is look for the Gen 4 and 2x rated.

[bloodywolf]

now ime curious

Whats a pence???

[bloodywolf]

Ok now

Well i got the 1disk burning thing down pretty good but I am still wondering about bitrate thing I have downloaded some software to try to figure it out but it askes for minutes not file size. I am not too sure about that as yet.

anyway, I have been checking out some disks at supermedia store called Ritex but iam not too sure about em now, I read too much I guess. they claim my they will burn at 4x but hey i dont know.

anybody use em. or heard anything about em.

[swanside1]

A pence is one hundreth of a pound.

When you are wondering about the bitrate, I take it that this is in Rempeg?

Most movies have a bit rate around 6-7megs per second, and so they dont fit onto a dvdr, so all you need to do is, look at the size of the folder with the video vobs are in, and find out what the size of it is, then, divide that by the size of the dvdr, so say
dvdr holds about 4.3, and folder is 5.6, so 4.3/5.6 =0.767, so your bitrate wants to be reduced to say 75%.

[bloodywolf]

Ok

would this require a conversion to mpeg or this to work.?


Is this posted in your guide perhaps the second section.

If so I am sorry to waste your time.

hundreth of a pound so how much is a pound .

[bloodywolf]

now ime really confused

Do i need to open wordpad and type it in so it looks like the ocean
one. or what.

cause the sample is just a help file.

And furthermore, does it have to correspond with vob files (ie vob 1 to say vob 6)?

won't the file be empty if u just type it in?

Man am I confused

says the file is 5.4.

[bloodywolf]

ok ok I keep getting a failed message

I keep gettinga failed message with Rempeg i have inputted all my files and put their track names and still i get a failed message i even saved it as a cffl file

[bloodywolf]

says the file is unsupported

whats up with that . i need shave 80 percent or just 20 percent off the bitrate???
