Xvid to DVD transfer

[carlmart]

There are some Xvid files that I want to put together in DVD-Rs to save space and preserve quality. Which is the better way to achieve that?

Using Avicodec I could identify the files I have as being 289 MB, 921 Kbps, 23.976 fps, with resolução 576*432 (4:3) files.

The problem is I am not too familiar with Xvid files and how to better use it with the programs I am used to.

On my satellite film captures or on my S-VHS captures, I use Procoder to convert the AVI files onto MPEG-2; then TMPGEnc DVD author to convert to VOB; then Clone DVD2 to burn the disc. Sometimes I have to use DVDShrink to make larger files fit into a DVD.

If these programs already were DVD quality I wouldn't mind and go "full-size"., but they are not. On another very old film I downloaded, this time Divx, which was of similar resolution, I Procoded it onto MPEG-2, which resulted on a large file that took a full DVD. But the quality it had, even if reasonable, was not up to it, if you know what I mean.

So I want to be more efficient and use the "right" space certain less-resolution formats deserve and still use the DVD-R medium to hold them.

What's the best way to go about it?

The best way is observing the rules... expecially the Rule 6:
6) No warez, cracks, serials or illegally obtained copyrighted content! Links to content of a questionable nature, asking for, offering, or asking for help/helping to process such content in any way or form is not tolerated.

Hi Carlos, welcome to the forum.

I think you need to re-read our forum rules, as we don't like to help people who talk about downloading movies (unless they are legally copyright free) and it's not good to ask "what's best"!


One thing I will tell you is... with regard to MPEG-4 files (XviD, DivX, 3ivx etc) in general, it is possible to burn them directly to recordable DVD as data files, ie: without having to re-encode them at all.

And, as it's possible to buy DVD "stand-alone" players that support playback of MPEG-4 files you should be able to watch them on your TV too!

If you have a look round the forum you should find loads of information about MPEG-4 and stand-alone players....
