I have been downloading movies that are giving me 2 700MB avi files and I have been successfully burning them to DVD format with Nero Vision. My question is this: Will I get better picture quality by watching the movie in avi format on a avi compatible DVD player? Do I loose picture quality when I convert to DVD format? When watching the avi files on dvd do you put each 700MB file to a cdr or do you put both files onto a dvdr? When converting the avi file to dvd format is there a better/faster software than Nero Vision that you use? Thanks for your feedback. agarg
If your player can read AVI files, keep it as it is, because the quality can never increase. Garbage in = garbage out. The movie's quality can either remain equal or be lower [badly encoding, like if you set 'motion search precision = lowest quality (very fast) in TMPGenc, or the use of a bad MPEG encoder to transform AVI -> MPEG]. That is, you could lose hours and keep the same quality than your original AVI movie. No reason for doing that. This unless you prefere to have the whole movie on a DVD, since you would need 2 CD-R (movie_cd1.avi and movie_cd2.avi). A standard 4.7 GB DVD-R can keep the whole movie, instead.
