movie compressing question

by rIVENJE • 14 May 2007, 15:45 • Journals
Ok, because I know there might be some of you who know something about this, I ask those. I made/editted this movie of my schooltrip last year for school, blabla, it's aroung 1,5 hours long. But now I wanted to hand it in on a dvd, keeping a proper quality. But I don't have a clue which codec or anything I should use to use as much as possible of the 4,7 gig and to have the best possible quality. I'm rendering it with Vegas (if needed I can also compress it with virtualdub). Thanks.

Then I asked you how to render it, template: uncompressed, template: NTSC DV, or something else, or custom xvid or or or or?

template -> custom
video rendering quality -> best (first tab)
second tab -> video, include video tick
frame size, use project settings
frame rate <your fps here>
field order -> none (progressive scan)
pixel aspect -> 1,0000
video format -> xvid
create an opendml avi file
audio -> include audio

If you want to be able to play it with a standard DVD player, you should encode it to MPEG2 (and probably do menus too with some authoring software). More information about DVD authoring can be found from: http://www.videohelp.com/author.

If compatibility with regular DVD players isn't a requirement, you can pretty much encode it with anything: XviD, H.264, MOV, WMV... With 4,7 gigs of space availible you can't get bad quality with any of the normal codecs.
