Hi, I download DVD rips from a torrent site and they average 700mb. So I think putting 3 onto a single DVDr is leaving sufficient space! Thing is, I don't know what aspect ratio to pick. I've only ever done one DVDr using ConvertXtoDVD and I picked 'automatic' and put 3 different DVD-rips on it. Trouble is, the finished videos are stretched and you can tell this because the opening credits show names half missing on screens and only showing the surnames! I don't know what aspect ratio to pick! I have in my bedroom a big square TV but I don't just want it to play on that, I want them to play on potential future buys which will most likely be widescreen! Any help would be great thanks!
Hi there, Personally, I would not put more than 2 x 700mb .AVI on 1 single DVD5. But try 3, and see if the quality is still pretty good Leaving the Aspect to Automatic is a good idea, specially if you have 1 x 4:3 and 1 x 16:9 movie in the same project. Now, to properly see 16:9 movies on your TV, make sure your DVD Player is set to 4:3 Letterbox and not 4:3 Pan & Scan.
Cheers mate! Although I don't know if my DVD player has letterbox, pan and scan, etc modes because it's a cheapy! lol I'm away at the moment but as soon as I return home on Friday, I will give that a try! Thanks again!
That depends on the quality you require, the amount of action in the movie and the size of the TV you view on. If it's a small TV (27 inch) and a low action source, like a romantic comedy, you could probably go to almost 4 hours. You'll have to experiment. I have an Xvid converted copy of Once Upon A Time in America (mostly talking scenes) almost that long that looks fine on a 32 inch set.
