Imported Movie Files from DVD disc into Videowave using Import/Capture......no problem.

Imported as 3 files, each file contains 3 movies running back to back.

Question:-

When I split and delete to leave the movie I want why do I have to re-render the movie that has been imported as an mpg. Also can't I save them in VW to Hard Drive as mpg without re-rendering then import into MY DVD.


I am aiming to create an authored DVD in My MDV using 9 seperate movies and am trying to save the time waiting for 9 re-renders. Also I assume the quality deteriorates after each render as well.

It is all in the bitrate. The program will not usually re-render if the bitrate you captured is the same as the bitrate you are burning. You can tell if, when you go to encode, you get a gray screen in the preview area. You will usually get some of the video showing and then the gray screen and then the end of the video.

In VideoWave, you can output that file to any of several different formats. Click the icon that looks like a film reel. Select file and the format you want. Typically if you want to use the video in a DVD, you would select mpg2 for DVD..best quality". If you just want to save it on your hard drive, you might select a different format.

How long - total time are the 9 movies? If you have selected fit to disc and the total time is greater than about one hour, then the encoding is to lower the bitrate to make it fit. Better to uncheck fit to disc and select best quality. Encode to an iso file (I'm sure you know how to do that). Disc copier will quickly adjust the quality to fit on a disc.

So if the bitrate is lower it will "up it"?
Conversely if it higher will it "lower it"?

The rest I understand now,


Thanks.
