That's great, thanks rmn.

My 1394 dv capture card gets installed by windows xp as a network card with file and printer sharing and so on. I've selected 'disable' but is this enough? The card is only used for dv capture, I have ...

I tried rmm's advice regarding the "output YUV as basic YCbCr" when my video's seemed too contrasty -- the darks were very dark -- and it did the trick. My last dvd came out just right.

That's good, I'm glad I went for the pioneer then even if lynx did re-stock it for £99 a few weeks later! What's worse, is that they emailed to tell me. Mad

@rmn
Now you come to mention it, I think I read somewhere once that the mainconcept codec does 'something' to the video. I do find the dvds I've created to have too much contrast, but I put it down t ...

@rmn
Ok, I think I've got that, thank you. But what you have said has made me unsure about whether I'm using the right setting or not.

I am converting dv encoded with the mainconcept encoder you m ...

@rmm
The 2.520 version of TMPGEnc update page says this:

Includes the MPEG decoder CRI Sofdec. Now, input of MPEG-2 files is a standard feature. Plus, the picture quality (brightness, color) shown ...

Someone on the tmpgenc dvd forum had the same problem. When the IFO file was opened in ifoedit, the menu was quoted as being ntsc 720x480 mpeg-1 (!) but the rest of the content was pal 720x576 a ...

@rmn
Ok, thanks very much for clearing that up for me. It seems I may have skipped reading the text on the calculator page. Embarassed

@rmm
I've been using one 'I' frame and 14 'P' frames to make up 15 frames -- the maximum for pal -- with scene detection. I have noticed you give examples where you suggest between 10 and 12 'P' fram ...

I left an encoding session on over night -- a 2-pass vbr encoding (the 1st one I've done) -- and according to the remaining time display, it should have finished about 9 o'clock this morning. I woke u ...

If I use nero infotool to look at the PAL DVDs I've made, it shows them as NTSC 720x480. They were encoded with TMPGEnc and authored with TMPGEnc DVD and recorded with recordnow max and the new burner ...

@sunnysixkiller
Thanks, it does seem nice and easy to understand. I haven't made a dvd with a menu yet as I haven't needed one, but i'm sure I'll have to deal with that sooner or later.

@rmn

I know the TMPGEnc developers probably won't see this, but I thought I'd share this idea with you anyway.

As it takes several hours to render an hour long avi to highest quality mpg, why don't they ...

@a
I had the same question, have a look [url=http://dvd-hq.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23]here.

@rmn
I see I forgot to say thanks for your last reply in that post, sorry about that.
