i'm confused

[Lev]

i decoding my first dvd with cce..

this is what the doom9 cce guide says:

if you only have green parts it should be very hard to tell the difference between the original DVD and your copy.

well i got the whole movie green at a filesize of about 1,5 gb..

this is where i get confused..

how is it possible to have dvd quality at a lower filesize than an average svcd that has considerable quality loss?

I got 2 options now.. encrease the bitrate till the movie is 4gb and get the best possible quality or leave it like this and try to put 2 movies on one dvd-r..

will the quality encrease be worth the extra 2gb? (what woudl you do?)

thnx in advance (:

it's VBR at its best. SVCD has a max bitrate of 2600kbit/s.. DVD of 9800kbit/s.. usually the scenes where you can see the degradation on an SVCD are the scenes that will make full use of the higher bitrate roof on a DVD, while in the still parts of a movie a slight bitrate loss doesn't do too much damange to the overall impression.

as for your second question, that's something only you can answer.. why not burn it on a DVD-RW, check it on your standalone and if you think quality could be better, increase the bitrate, and if you're satisfied with what you got put another movie onto the disc.
