Ok here goes. I'm looking for a simple solution to take multiple avi's. Of different sizes namely im trying to convert a tv show to a dvd. 24 AVi's total. Problem is Half of the episodes are 608x336 The others are 624x352 Then who knows if the codecs are the same. Bitrates. All that. In any case I've tried multiple methods and every method has problems. Method one. DVD Santa. It works for the most part. DVD Burns. Plays on my player. But the picture is DARK. REAL Dark. I've tried reinstalling codecs. Reinstalling dvdsanta. Same thing. Method two. TMPGENC source Creator + DVD Author + dvd shrink for burning Problem with this? Video came out "jumpy" You can see everything clearly but it's not playing back smooth. On top of that theres no sound. Method Three. WinAVI. Like dvd santa. picture is dark. Audio works fine. Aspect ratio looks right. Just dark picture. Method Four. QuENC. Set all my settings. Hit encode. After it's done check the file. The file keeps flashing green. Every few frames it will be green. Other than that audio is fine. Video quality is fine but the green frames kill it. Method Fice. HCenc. Set up all my settings. No video is ever output during encode. I just get errors About AVISYNTH Errors in Frame Method Six. AVI2DVD. Set all my settings. Hit encode. It does it things. Once it gets to any of the encoders it either gives me a green screen issue with QuENC, Or Frame error with HCenc Method Seven. VSO Divx To DVD. Errors out. No video output. Video packet dropped on blah blah frame Method Eight. TMPGENC Plus. Conver to MP2 files. Import into other program. Hit record. Boom no audio. even tho audio is set. and playable on computer. I'm at a lost of what to do. I would rather not have to "combine" all my avi's. From the looks of it i'll have to re-encode all of them into something else. reframe the 608x366 ones. And try this again. I'm pooped. What should I do. I'm looking for a quick method. Video quality is not as important as speed.
Try first convert the avis into the same format with e.g. Power Video Converter or Advanced X Video Converter (size, codec, frame rate etc.), then use VSO or Winavi for encoding. Good luck!
Hi there, Did you use a old old version of DivxToDVD ? Try the latest VSO ConvertXtoDVD and there is still issues, provide us the conversion log. Lots has changed since ConvertXtoDVD came out ! ConvertXtoDVD should care less of the size and bitrate, it will treat each file differently. My 2 cents...
Assuming the source files are OK . I use TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 to make files that TMPGenc likes then I use TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6. Not fast, but I have NO complaints about quality, again assuming the source files are OK.
Did that and it worked (Didn't check back here) But that did the trick. Only wish I could Set for higher quality/higher file size. Reason is I did 2 eps on one dvd and it came out to 2.3GB image. Stepped up to 4 and it was only 3.7GB. Stepped up to 5 and still didn't fill a Full dvd. Would have rather had 2-3 Eps per dvd at higher quality. The source material is 700mb HD TV rips, Guess thats my tradeoff for speed. Speed was great though, Around 1 hour for encoding and burning per Disc. Did 5 Discs for 24 Episodes.
