DVD9 to 700MB with HD clarity?

[bipinaiswarya]

First of all friends i am new here and i thanks very much to the site owners for this fantastic site. I am new in video encoding and i like very much, i am now coverting all my collection to mkv or mp4 files using megui. But main issue i am facing is that i dont get the clarity as other rippers who is using megui. After a lot of searching i add

a2=ImageReader("C:\Documents and Settings\Ayyappan\My Documents\MRT LOGO\mrtlogo.png")
a3=ImageReader("C:\Documents and Settings\Ayyappan\My Documents\MRT LOGO\mrtlogo.png",pixel_type="RGB32").ShowAlpha(pixel_type="RGB32")
Overlay(a2,mask=a3, x=550, y=215, opacity=0.4)
ConvertToYV12()
tweak(cont=0.7,sat=1.2, hue=+10)


in last part of the avs script. i am not familier with s/w side. so if any one can help to create a script for hd clarity 700mb video file from a dvd 9 i am very much thankful to them. so plz consider my request as a valuable request and hope some one will solve out my problem. Thanks in advance.

I edited your title as it did not comply with forum rule 9. Feel free to change it to something else that still complies with rule 9.

Not possible. For one thing, you're not even starting with an HD source. You can't create HD-quality video from a DVD. For another, 700mb won't allow for enough bitrate for a 2-hour movie with any form of quality regardless of settings or script. The best you can do is find an acceptable loss of quality for your target file size.

DVD9 to 700MB with HD clarity?The best a compressed version of a video stream can do is be perceptually of the same quality.
Since DVD video has at best only 480 lines of resolution (576 in Europe) it is not hidef.
Hence, the compressed copy can't be of "HD clarity".

Bitrate allowance (the one and only parameter defining the file size) for perceptually lossless picture quality
and how to get there (what filters to use) is very personal and most likely will not be universal for every DVD.

I believe you should at least double the file size to have a chance to do DVD justice.

It's less about script when you get to that range than it is about resolution. If you increase resolution you increase the need for bitrate to maintain quality. Your best bet trying to squeeze a movie into 700mb is to bring it down to something like 640 x 352.

Why do you care about 700meg ?

Blank CDR?

Blank CDR?

Right, better wait a few years until DVD burners and blank DVDs are mature enough to be used. :rolleyes:

Blank CDR?Sounds about right, but...

Today, after the Thai flood, a 1TB drive is about $70.
That means the equivalent of 1,400 CDR (in storage capacity)
is 7,000 cents, i.e. 5 cents per 700MB.

I do not think you can buy blank CDs for that much.
At least not the ones that will be readable tomorrow.

Hence, HDs are cheaper in $/MB metric. And no artificial limit of 700MB to start with...

I've bought a couple of 2TB hard drives on sale for $139 US. Even with the cost of blank DVD-R media being about the same as CD-R per disk, it's still cheaper per MB to use hard drive storage.

I don't know about the original poster, but I have a loads of them (200+), and some 800MB ones too :D

yes, but are they in SD or HD clarity? :D

[diogen]

...but I have a loads of them (200+)Show me who does not (that was a doom9 reader around the time it was running their annual comparison).
When bought in bulk, they were competitive with HD for a short time but it is gone.

And the quality doesnt really cut it anymore...

I wasn't he referring to having lots of 700/800MB movie encodes rather than the number of CDs he owns?

You're basically trying to achieve 11x compression (~8GB -> 0.7GB). It's do-able, and done all the time so try the superslow presets, film optimization, and 2-pass encoding. Be very patient. Crop the video as best as possible, downsize the resolution, trim the credits if possible, and eliminate all but 128kbps 2-ch audio.

Having said all of that, a dvd burner can be easily found on NewEgg for $20-25, plus maybe a few cents for media from meritline.com
