Which Video recording software? Pt2 - Pt1 went U/S!
chuggaman:
if you go here and look at the guides it will give you all the info and software you need.
to get the best quality end result dvd,you must capture from your firewire port from your camera at a high resolution in avi format.un-compressed is the best but will chew up your hard drive space in no time.
if you captur in a compressed format of avi then you will maintain the quality and utilise less hard drive space.90 mins of video captured and conversion to dvd (mpeg 2) wil certainly use up the space on your drive.
ive been doing this for a very long time and i suggest that you capture a 10 min file first and then play around with the conversion process for practice.
firstly download all the codecs (xvid etc and make sure you get ac codec for dolby prologic sound)
i would suggest you capture the file with virtual dub(this will save it as an avi on your hard drive).
then convert it with tmpgenc,and i can mail you the template dvd structure that you open with this program.after conversion you will have 2 files 1 being audio and 1 being video
then you use ifo edit to convert those files into vob files (which are the files that you find on a dvd.
once youve done it a couple of times its easy.
the end result is dvd quality film that is as good as scenarist or studiodvd would produce.bonus is the software is free.

Thanks Mike ... but at first glance, it looks horribly confusing :oops: I like the "1 - 2 - 3" step mode of WinDVD :wink: :lol:
So far, using WinDVD Creator I have transferred 2 tapes to PC. WinDVD saves them as MPEG-2 format. Both are somewhere between 70 & 80 minutes and result in 5 - 6 Gb files each. I've still got about 50Gb disk space left...
I've got DVD-RW's - maybe I should just have a play with short clips first, to test the resulting quality!?
chuggaman:
oh your halfway there then.
in order to burn your mpeg2 file then you need to demux the streams.ie strip the files into audio and video.then you remux them into the vob format so you can burn them onto a dvdr.
go and get tpgenc and ifoedit and ill talk tou through it live on the forum so others will learn too.you could have your first converted disc by 9pm today.

chuggaman:
where you have yor mpeg2 file saved,create 2 new folders.then open tmpgenc and close the wizard you get at the start.
click file>>>>mpeg tools and you should see this picture.
in the input box pick up your mpeg 2 file.
then in the two boxes underneath you will notice that one is video output and one is audio output.rename the files i these two boxes so that you know that you are on this next step and don confuse yourself with all the files you are making.
it is better if you save these audio and video files in the first new folder you have made.
then press run.
this should take 5-40 mins depending on pc spec.
ifo edit is here under vob tools in the download section

I tried putting this into a translation site and I still didn't understand a word of what your going on about Mike! :(biglaugh):
I'm sure that MS Movie Maker and the Ulead prog I've got do all of this without having to demux,remux, tpgenc or ifoedit the files. 8-[
So I think I'll stick with them for now, they reproduce excellent results on DVD and I've still got loads to find and play with, including adding Flash backgrounds into the titles. :mrgreen:
