Does this improve quality ? [audio and video]
y is that so

Think ... will it improve quality?

i dont think so ..... buts whats the extra bytes used for ?

Of course it won't improve quality.

How can it improve more than the source? But I am not sure why the size increased. Maybe you used a very high bit rate for encoding.

yes kixxi is right.. how can a converted file or encoded file be better than source file... :lol:

no actually; it wont improve anything... just that the target disk is a 4.5gb DVD; so it has to confirm to the dvd standards; hence the size increase. The videos are converted into dvd compliant video which has a bitrate ~4000kbps, so the size will definitely increase if want to make a video dvd, or it wont be a standard dvd video disk.

I hope i cleared ur doubt. If u go into the options and select 8.5GB dvd, then the target will expand to ~8GB.

oh ok !.... so i guess i have to just join the videos using some other software .... maybe nero's movie maker ? and finally burn the joint video and it ll fit into the 4 gb disc ?
Thanks
"Spread some repo ......starry knight"

it shud already fit shadow! thats what its creating the 4.3gb file for! just use nero to wirte it or convertx itself...
otherwise what the hell is the software converting for!?

Sorry i forgot to clarify certain issue ... i also had another video of 100 mb along with 900mb ....
I imported both into vision
But the length went over 4 GB ! thats y i said i had to link it first
My 900mb video is actually 3 separate videos linked together ,,,,

buddy it shud write just fine.. the actual capacity of dvd5 is ~4.3gb only...

When i imported the 900mb file it filled 4.2 Gb
and when i imported the 100 mb file it filled some 1.5 Gb worth of space ...... Nero was showing it in red and diplayed a msg saying part of the file wont burn correctly as it exceed the space

ok... then it wont... actually it all depends on the duration of the source videos not their size. a dvd5 is 120mins (correct me if im wrong)...

Cant understand what u r saying .... but I ll try chainning this 100 mb file with the 900 mb and importing the whole thing into vision

m sayin u cant stuff more than 120mins of video on a 4.5gb dvd with nero vision...

n m goin off now... cya l8r...

Oh tat complicates matters .... the software u suggested before ... does it stuff more into a dvd ?

Ya it does.... winavi video converter does it even more (so my samsung dvdplayer wasnt even able to play some of it )... , i dont remeber exactly but vision sticks to the formats and allows very little overburnin

I don't know what converter you are using and what is your source file. I have never seen 900MB file growing so big to nearly exceed a DVD size.

Is your source file DVix? I have never ever tried converting DVix to DVD.

No like i said before it is .avi ..... its a collection of all episodes of various tv series ......

Me to wondering y it converted to 3.4 GB

it lowers the bitrate to accomodate more mins...

How Much Does a Lite-Scribe DVD Disc Cost In India ?

I haven't seen Litescribe discs in India. There are not many DVD writers that can write to Litescribe discs.

To the best of my knowledge most common dvd writers write have lite scribe option ... I have an LG DVD writer[2 yrs] and a Lite-On[1.5 yrs] Both have Lite scribe feature ... though i have never used it

I Checked On E-Bay .... it seems to be selling at roughly around rs 30/40 per dvd .... Street price must be half of that ..... so just wanted to know
