rmvb to dvd quality

[ciam]

I have some rmvb files that I want to burn to DVDs. I've done some research and found a few methods, using Avisynth, TMPGEnc Plus, or one click solutions like DVDSanta, WinAVI, WinMPG and etc. I want to know which method yields the best quality after it's done.

This is not about RMVB, but about MPEG2 :rolleyes:

Avisynth, and a good quality MPEG-2 encoder, that supports reading .avs, is probably your best bet. I have tried Mainconcept, and Cinemacraft myself. They both read Avisynth scripts.

Use Winavi or DVDsanta to convert RMVB's to DVD.

LMAO dvdsanta such a horrible program

I'm trying to convert this 43 minute RMVB file into DVD MPEG-2 and I'm using this AVS code in TMPGEnc.


DirectShowSource("file.rmvb", fps=29.97, convertfps=true)
LanczosResize(720,480)


But it's taking 3 hours at best probably because it's processing the audio as well. Is there a way to just convert the video and I can process the audio myself separately in another program? I think that'll speed it up. :confused:

It took me 1 hour for my last RMVB file which is strange because the settings are the same, so why the 2-hour increase?) Any faster alternatives? Any help is appreciated.

DirectShowSource("file.rmvb",audio=false, fps=29.97, convertfps=true)

Thanks, if I use audio=false, how do I extract the audio file from the RMVB for separate conversion?

[^_^x]

get other audio extract tools. something like multiquence. it can extract audio from all audio, since your PC support the codec.

I'm having a bit of trouble when converting RMVB to MPEG-2 in TMPGEnc. I used the script above. I noticed that in some results, several frames are deleted from the MPEG-2 and is instead replaced by gray frames. It's actually noticeable when you playback the video and you can see flashes. But the audio would be fine. Why is this? :(

I prefer to WinAVI (http://www.winavi.com/rm-converter.htm).And it's fast.
By the way,which do you think is best?After all you have tried so many ways.

I tried Winavi and I find that it's really really fast for RMVB files. However, for this one project, my source RMVB has a PAL resolution of 512x384. How do I get that to NTSC DVD resolution in Winavi? If I just select "NTSC", it will crop my video along with the hardcoded subtitles.
