dvdmama13 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 When I make changes to the TEXT in terms of the color of text and outline color it changes but then if I save my changes and re-open the file, the changes are not there. They are the original defaults. It DOES save text changes and text size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdmama13 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 What is the best way to or How do I "Output at best quality to an 8.5 dual layer ISO" ??? Also, I don't have a dual-layer disk drive...if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 To be absolutely truthful, I always made the iso file and opened that with Disc Copy and never looked at size (I do have a d/l drive) and burnt that to a standard DVD - never noticed any degradation on the TV (but the definition of that isn't that great anyway) The point I'm trying to make tho is that a 4 minute over-run is NOT going to make any noticable difference to the final producion (unless you examine it in a high frequency oscilloscope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golinux Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Actually - I think you do need a dual layer burner for that - you can't burn a dl disc in a burner that doesn't support it. YES! You can produce a DL ISO without having a DL drive. You just can't BURN it. DVDShrink fits the DL ISO to a 4.7 GB disk that you CAN burn. FWIW, ALL my productions are 72-75 minutes and they fit just fine on a 4.7 disk using the method I outlined above. They look d@mn good too!

dvdmama13 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yes OK everyone THANKS for all the help I have to run to work.... BYE BYE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 If you have a dual layer drive, yes it will handle both d/l and standard media However, to be totally honest, any loss in quality for something that small over one hour is so slight you probably won't even notice. Just make the iso image and open that with Disc Copy and it will make the file fit the 4.3 GB disc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdmama13 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Split into two projects with at most 60 minutes in duration for each one. That is, you will create two DVD discs. Mine right now is only 1 hr 4 min. then the menu, chapter etc put it over the 4.7. (Videowave said i was at 4.5GB) So I will try to cut some video out if there is no other way other than to get a new DVD burner. With a dual layer burner, I assume you can burner single and dual layer disks. Just depends on what you put in it....????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malatekid Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 OK Then is there anyway to get BEST quality when I am oversized with what I have?

gi7omy Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 The option to burn to 4.7 or 8.5 DL disk size is at the bottom of the DVDBuilder window. You don't need a DL burner to choose this option. Actually - I think you do need a dual layer burner for that - you can't burn a dl disc in a burner that doesn't support it.

golinux Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Edit: I have to verify when I get home tonight if EMC7.5 offers the option to burn to a video folder set. I wish it did but it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ml Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Do you happen to also know the best way to reduce a project size?...so I'd like best look and sound.

malatekid Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 All my projects start out oversized. Here's how to do it but it takes a little time: 1. Output at best quality to an 8.5 dual layer ISO 2. Use DiskCopier to save the video folders to your HD (remember to save to 8.5 dual layer) 3. Run the VOB files through FixVTS to remove Roxio transcoding glitches that prevent DVDShrink from working 4. Run DVDShrink which will output a 4.7 GB ISO 5. To remove audio sync problems and audio hiccups (if any) see this thread. Steps 1 and 2 can be integrated by burning directly to a video folder set in the HD instead of an ISO file.

golinux Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Do you happen to also know the best way to reduce a project size? Cut out a picture, a song. Or do I just need to reduce video length.. Cut music on menu? My last 'movie' is 5.06 GB if I want BEST. It will fit if I want good. What much quality do I lose buring GOOD as appossed to BEST? It is a video of my kids...so I'd like best look and sound. All my projects start out oversized. Here's how to do it but it takes a little time: 1. Output at best quality to an 8.5 dual layer ISO 2.

gi7omy Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 If you intend to watch it on TV, the loss of quality considering the small increase in overall size probably won't be noticable. If you want to check, burn it to a RW and see how that looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
