|
|
I encoded an AVi movie file with TMPgen encoder-the quality was excellent but file on MPEG2 was approximately 8.8GB. The length of movie was 123min long.
Is any way to make it to fit in a single DVD. |

You need to lower the bitrate. You can use a DVD calculator to find the optimal values.

You could earler think and calculate Try with recommended "DVD Shrink" or on DVD+R9 (named DVD+R DL; ~8.5 GB) fit
And why you need so high bitrate ? You can use VBR bitrate (AVR ~7000-8000 kb/s) and this file will be ~30% less. You can alsow split this file on 2 DVD with no problems _________________ 21"IBM|9550XT|AMD-1700+|512DDR|120+80GB|DVD+/-RW/411S|Audigy+5300|K7VTA3|WinXP |

try to use dvd-lab pro, there's an option in there to shrink your mpeg-2 file. Happened to me before and shrunk my 6gig mpeg-2 to about 4.3 and didn't notice a difference in quality between original. |

DVD shrink is best and fastest .. virtually no visible loss on quality |

The loss of quality will, naturally, depend on how much you need to reduce the files. The good thing about software like DVD Shrink is that it re-uses the motion search data from the original MPEG, so it's much faster than recompressing everything.
