Encoding Single Episodes w/ TMPEGEnc

[TurnX]

Not too familiar with encoding in mpeg2, more familiar with xvid and h264, so I was looking for guidance on encoding. Pretty much have four 24 minute episodes that I want to get on 1 DVD9 disk. So i'm looking for some basic settings for TMPEGEnc to accomplish this. Any help is appreciated.

Hi!

No need to use TMPGEnc, or any compression software - Just use DVD Decrypter v.3.5.4 (or, if necessary, the "RipIt4Me" package of programs) to rip the 4 episodes fromtheir respective DVDs and then use IMGBurn to burn them to a DVD9...

actually I am running the episodes through an avisynth script and applying a couple filters to clean up the video a bit so I do need to re-encode the video.

Hi

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI
(DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" v.1.6 (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)
You can obtain a FULLY functional free 30 day trial version of this commercial program at:

**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress

If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")
