Nine Inch Nails - LIVE dvd rip. Help please.

[TheCh0sen]

I've been playing around with Gordian Knot and so far I LOVE this all in one combo for making DiVX movies. However, I've been trying to encode the Nine Inch Nails And All That Could Have Been DVD to fit onto 1 700mb cd-r. I've encoded this movie a few times and eatch time I can't get the settings right to fit onto the one 700mb cd. Its always way too big.

I've changed resolutions, I've messed with bitrates, and all. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions? The movie is NTSC, I do the IVTS issue when encoding. I use 128kbs mp3 audio. The film is as follows...

According to dvd2avi the dvd is:

4:3
29.970fps

Movie length is aprox 125mins.

Interlaced. It is also split on 2 dvds. But this however is not my problem. I've ripped both dvds and get everything right with loading them into the dvd2avi project files...

What I'm asking is maybe some suggestions on getting it to fit onto 1 700mb cd. Thanks!

1) 29.97 NTSC is 20% more frames per time period than 23.976.

2) 4:3 has many more pixels than a typical widescreen movie, too.

Try resizing with a much smaller resolution. Much.

correction, the movie is approx 1hr and 20something mins.

I'll try a lower resolution.. so far I've encoded with 512 x something.

Hi,

Just a suggestion, but I would think about increasing your audio quality. You are ripping a *first and foremost* music concert, right?

I have Pink Floyd - P.U.L.S.E. and Metallica S&M that I ripped onto 2cds, and I'm glad I did because it allowed me to keep the ac3 audio.

YOu don't want to short-change yourself.....
