![]() ![]() It is easiest to use your encoder to hit the desired size first time, and not re-encode or transcode after the fact. However you can quite easily stretch this to 180 minutes by using a combined bitrate of around 3200kbps or thereabouts and compensate the drop in bitrate with a drop in frame size - say 352 x 480 (NTSC Half D1).Īnyhoo, you have some choices to make. Thus it stands that 120 mins to a SL DVDR equates to a combined bitrate of around 5000kbps average give or take. You can fit any running time you wish (within reason) onto a DVDR - it's the quality that will suffer (or benefit). So here's my queston: Should I just let Vegas recompress the movie and "Fit To Disc?" And if so, then should I be importing the movie and audio in some sort of uncompressed format?What do I do so that I can optimize my movies and not worry about too much compression? I assume that the reason DVD architect has to recompress the project (even though they are MPEG-2 and AC3 files and under 2 hours) is because the menus I create take up a certain amount of space as well. I have had success with drastically reducing the Prepare process by doing this with other, shorter movies. I should also mention that I am importing MPEG-2 and AC3 files as rendered in Vegas. I've noticed sometimes that when creating a DVD project with MPEG-2 and AC3 files that when I go to "Prepare" I get a message that the project is too large and the video will be recompressed - even though my movie is under 2 hours (like and hour and 50 minutes I to be more specific). ![]() I use Vegas 6.0d and DVD Architect 3.0c exclusivley. ![]()
