DV Quality to DVD?

You can't compare codecs like that. What looks good at 2 mbps
in one codec might look terrible at 6 mbps at another.

Tell us what EXACT settings you are using for mpeg2 encoding.
I've done some test encodings where I could not see the difference
from the original.... That was with VBR encoding though.

Graham,

Your video file http://www.fordrs.nildram.co.uk/Vid...onnie10.4HQ.wmv

looks great on my AthlonXP nForce machine using an older Windows 7 . Are you talking about another video clip?
Are you sure you have a good MPEG2 decoder installed on the comoputer ?
