New Dual-Layer Burning Question

[drfsupercenter]

Alright, so just shrink title 3 by more and title 4 by less? What about titles 1 and 2, or would those not make a difference?

Leave them alone - they fit nicely. Figure out the bitrate of T3 and T4. If T3 is nice and high but T4 is quite low, then shrink T3. Videocalc can help by showing what the resultant bitrate will be for each title.

But remember, your sectors of T3 and T4 together must be < than T1 and 2 together.

Hmmm. I tried that bitrate in IFOEdit and it gave me something like 0.3 for the bitrate which is impossible. For the time, what do I enter - the time of all the titles or just title 4, and then for the DVD size, what do I enter then?

Would it be easier to rename it to a MPG and use some program like VirtualDubMod or something to tell the bitrate?

[blutach]

Time of title - length of title in MB (get this from DVD Shrink).

Alrighty, I will test it.

According to VideoCalc, title 4 is 2452 kbit/sec while title 3 is 2597. Does that help? Or I could send the IFOs. All I know is that title 3 looks like it was never shrunk at all (or only by a small amount) while on title 4 it is very evident.

LOL to the program - it goes up to a DVD-18 in size. Yeah right, like those even exist!

[blutach]

Those are both pretty low. So, rely on your eyes and reduce T3 a bit more than T4.

Alright. Will do. I think it also has to do with the way the movies are animated, because title 3 is very dark (color, not plot) and title 4 is very bright.
