Hello. I would like to create a DVD in DVD-Lab Pro using the video sizes below with as little re-encoding a possible and that will play on most dvd players.
It would be easy just to convert everything to dvd complient 720x480 - 29.97 ...but I believe there would be some loss of quality with some unnessessary re-encoding. Correct?
I included my guess of what to do or comments after each video size.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but for a NTSC dvd, any video that is 25fps should be converted to 29.97fps BEFORE adding to dvd-lab. Right?
1] 320x240 [should be converted to 352x240 ?]
2] 352x240 [no converting. use as is ?]
3] 352x288 [convert to 352x240 ?]
4] 480x480 [use as is ?]
5] 480x586 [convert to 480x480 ?]
6] 720x576 [convert to 720x480 ?]
Again. If I should convert a 320x240 to 352x240, will that preserve the quality more than just converting it to 720x480 before adding to dvd-lab?
Thank you very much
