Hello,
I have been trying to get my HEAT dvd down to a decent size so it will fit on one DVD-5 blank. I have had no luck and am really confused will all the different tools I need to use to get this to work. Is there an all-in-one tool that will,
1) strip out extras and un-used audio and subtitles
2) re-encode video at lower bit rate (with info on how much space will be saved at each down step so you max video quality per the space limitationf of DVD-Rs)
3) keeps the audio and video together during this whole process.
4) reconfigure ifo files so the movie plays after all of these steps are taken.
5) take the video_TS folder and burn it (great if in this same program, but ok if you must use a seperate dvd burning software)
I really want to keep the quality of the video as high as possible and keep the audio at its original quality (DD 5.1 or DTS 5.1).
I have tried using rempeg2 but the movie is very choppy and I lose the audio and must perform a second step to get the audio back into one usable VOB file.
When I try and use TMPG it does not like the project (.d2v) file DVD2AVI created of my movie so it just errors. And currently I cannot strip out enough stuff with IFOEDIT to get the movie down to 4.7 Gbs.
When I use DVDToolBox to split the movie into two disks, it runs fine off of my computer (which maybe means there is something wrong with my burning SW), but then when I burn the VIDEO_TS folder with Record NOW DX from veritas, the disks are not playable in my dvd rom drive (or the burner). Yes, DX has the "recognize the VIDEO_TS" option selected.
I would like this process to be a simple and painless as possible. Is there such an app/tool that provides some, or all of the list above? I would even settle for a tool that allows you to re-encode the video (vob) file to a lower bit rate, while keeping the audio included, that way I can just burn the re-encoded vob file immediatly, and not have to re-insert the audio back in.
Thanks for any help.
