Which MPEG to choose
I've never had this issue before so please bear with me. I working on a project that is approx. 2hrs. 7min. so when I exported it into Compressor I chose DVD Best 150min. I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but there isn't anything bigger so I would assume it was all I could do. I'm sure the file size will exceed 4.7g and I will have to go to Dual Layer so I guess what I'm getting at is, anybody have any advice.
Thank You, Bob. |

Bob,
The 150min setting is designed for fitting 150 minutes of footage onto a single layer DVD. Since your project is only 127 minutes long, it will easily fit on a single layer DVD with room to spare using that setting. You could actually tweak the bitrate a little bit higher to increase your quality. An average video bitrate of 4.4mbps with an audio bitrate of 192kbps (assuming you are using stereo) would fill a single layer DVD almost exactly, leaving just a few MB free for simple menus. Since this bitrate is still fairly low, I recommend using 2-pass VBR encoding. |

Well, 2.5hrs is 150minutes so it depends on EXACTLY how many minutes you've got, if you want it to fit on a single layer. You can still put more than 150mins on there by slightly lowering the bitrate, but you're already at low quality with that setting.
I recommend not messing with dual layer because the burned dual layer discs have a lot of compatibility and reliability problems. |
