Hi-

I stumbled upon DVD2SVCD and am soo glad I did... I finally can rip svcds that rival dvds...They look awesome....

Any rate... I have a birate question? I did a search and am not sure if this has been posted before, as I see the rules and why the 5 day post is... Many re-posts or questions. So I will TRY not to do this here...


When using DVD2SVCD, do any of you tweek the birate settings??? What I mean is this, at least for me specificly.... I use 80 minute cds so I choose 800 as the cd and leave up the disks section by like one.. The movie looks great but am wondering if I can fit more on a disk without alot of qualtiy loss??

Between 0 to 50 1 disk
between 50 to 76 1 disk
between 76 to100 2 disks
bewtween 100 to 125 2 disks
bewtween 125 to 163 3 disks
between 163 to MAX 4 disks

Should I up the disks?I mean quantity per movie that is??? And of course by doing that the birate explodes through the roof... Is that safe? Having a birate over 3000 or even 4000? Or does CCE or TMPGEnc limit it??



I am going to rip We Were Soldiers tonight and leave the defaults alone except for changing the disk to 800 instead of 740min....

Hope it goes well....:confused:

Thanks for the help and again HELLO.....

there is a checkbox that you can have checked so that the total bitrate doesn't go over 2756....however you can do some tests if you're just going to be watching them on your dvd player and see how much your standalone can handle... (i.e. my pioneer can handle around 3500-4000 so when i want really good quality [very rarely tho] i will bump up the cd count)...it all depends on your taste...another thing people do are to buy 90 or 99 minute cd's so you can squeeze more data onto a single cd

those are the bitrate settings that I use.

Yeah'

I guess 80 minutes are a tad old, or out dated now... I remember when 74 minutes were the "HOT" item?!!LOL

Any rate. Thanks for your help... I appreciate them...
