Newbie here, Need help converting RMVB to DVD

[LT. Columbo]

10 minutes? lol. when i convert with other software it takes upwards of 5 hrs

do you have one ready yet? super if i recall correctly saves it in a default location, you can change it though by right clicking....

[TheHeartLess]

yep, I have one file...

[LT. Columbo]

ok if you done it like i showed you it will work ok

open TMPGEnc dvd author, towards the end of this guide is the authoring stage, it should help

ok, will try and if I have a problem will post back here, thanks for all the help LT

[TheHeartLess]

ok, I have a problem after super finish encoding it, it says to

"An easy way is to simply right click the file, go to Properties>Summary"

Well I did that and I don't see mines being the same as the picture, I don't have any of that stuff like the 192kp or AC3 etc, All I see is title,Subject, etc?

Oh and forgot the picture doesn't look all that great after Super finish encoding it as the original rmvb? is there anyway making it better?

[LT. Columbo]

the properties info is for avis, won't work in your case. you just skip to the authoring stage

IMO super is pretty crappy, so are rm and rmvb files. you can try to raise the bitrate but didn't the output that you already checked from super look ok?

yea it look good b4 I went to encoding but after Super finish encoding I wanted to take another peek to see if it was the same and it's not the same as b4 tho...

ok when adding the files to tmpgenc dvd author it says "The NTSC dvd standard does not accpet a resolution of 720x480 combine with an aspect ratio 1:1" "The Nstc dvd standard does not accpet a resolution of 720x480 combine with an a aspect ratio 1:1 Changing the aspect ratio 4:3 and adding the clip"

have u try stoik 2.1.1 the free version you still can get rmvb to original avi> nero vision to dvd

but 1 file is about 25GB

nope I haven't try that program yet, I'm going to go LT way first and see how everything turns out... thanks nighttran for the heads up tho...

[NightTran]

it look like the original and fast too

[LT. Columbo]

try 4:3 or if widescreen 16:9

this is one reason super is crap.

[TheHeartLess]

LT have you try stoik 2.1.1 as nighttran suggested? and is there a guide or something for stoik 2.11


wow, it's taking like more then a hour just for a 215mb in TMPGEnc dvd author that's nuts, I need to cool off

[LT. Columbo]

no to stoik, you give up way too easy.

215 MB file takes me only a few minutes.

you don't have an hour? not that it should take this but is DMA on for your HD?

I wasn't going to give up but after super finish encoding the video it doesn't look as good as b4 tho... don't know if dma is on my HD how can I check to see? Also the first time I used super the bitrate was at 6960 kps but the second I did it I left it as 2496 kps and it kinda looks better then the first one... Should I go lower then 2496 or go alittle higher then 2496?

But thanks for all the help LT

[LT. Columbo]

dma

the highest bitrate should look better, but it is good to experiment, try a different encoder even. try the highest bitrate, 352x240 resolution too instead of 720x480.
