DVD Bit Rate

Booooom · 25th May 2004, 23:16

Hiya pps
Say i have a 700MB DivX movie (5.1.1 codec) with a video bit rate of 796 kbps (0.58% overhead). If I want to burn it on a DVD, how high should the bit rate be, to get a very good result, one that above it i would barely (if at all) notice a any difference ? I can go all the way to 9000kbps but that, I would think,would a bit over the top.
Is there a table specifying that if you have a DivX file that big and with that bit rate, this would be the "max" bit rate you should use.
Thanks.

If you mean: I want to reencode an MPEG4 file to MPEG2 (DVD compliant), then this is not the right section to ask this, you'd better try the 'DVD and miniDVD' related sections of the forum

This is a duplicate thread of http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76847

I've moved that thread to the CCE forum, since Booooom seems to have used CCE before.

I will request this thread's closure.
