What final product would have better results? Capture a larger formated 720x480 avi
Then encode it with a low bitrate mpeg-2 encoding to get a full 720x480 DVD on a 4.3-4.5gbs DVD.
or capture a 352x480 formated avi. Then encode it with a higher bitrate for the mpeg-2 encoding??
I have been doing 352x480 for sometime now and have thought this is the better way. But I don't know why it is, nor have I ever did the 720x480 way. I just like to get some feedback if I am doing this correctly or I should be changing my thoughts. I am game for anything that gives a better result!
Which then leads me to the next question to caculate bitrate for half dvd? Is there any caculators out there for this I can only find them for DVD? Or would it be the same bitrate as if it was a full DVD?
