If your final video is no longer than 70 min., an 8MB CBR setting will work. Save this as a preset by adding (again, my suggestion) “8MB CBR” to the template line and saving it. This way, it shows up as a render option and all you have to do is select it instead of going through these extra steps.Īs I said, VBR is the default but I generally prefer to use CBR.Ĭlick the CBR button and make sure it’s set to 8,000,000. Save this as a preset by going to the bar at the top of this tab and (my suggestion) add the word “mod” to the end of the Template line. VBR is the default for this template so, if you’re going to use it, I’d change the “Minimum” setting from 192,000 (IMO, that’s far too low) to 2,000,000. Good luck.You can accept the default settigns for this template or make the following changes.Ĭlick the “Custom” button and then the “Video” tab. Building a quality DVD requires a fair amount of planning. Trying to fit 90 minutes or 2 hours of video on a DVD will require really low bitrates that you will likely find unsatisfactory in terms of quality. Keeping a DVD to about an hour of content is usually a good optimum to maximize both bitrate and content. Don't get too greedy in trying to fit too much video on a DVD. That is the only way you can ensure the quality of your discs versus trusting the authoring tool to do it for you.Ģ) You want to try hard to maximize the bitrate which is a function of the length of the movie.

I highly recommend you learn how to use it if quality is important to you. HCenc is one of the better quality MPEG2 encoders out there that is free. Frank Output quality of a DVD is a function of 1) the encoder and 2) the bitrate.ġ) Because bundled encoders in authoring tools (including DVDA) tend to be lesser quality, I always encode my media with a third party encoder before importing into any authoring tool. Hope that the output quality is better the what I have been using. Build DVD and burn using favorite burning software.

navigation points like what happens when the movie finishes playing.Ĩ. Test DVD playback in DVDA to make sure everything works as expected i.e.
I encode my movie as a single timeline because that is the only way to include navigable chapter points that work properly on a DVD remote.ħ.
Add chapter points to my movie asset in the timeline window. The menu will always trigger transcoding.Ĥ. Go to File - Optimize Disc to make sure DVDA accepted the. wav movie file as a top level asset into the DVDA project window, not as an asset under the Menu or some other asset in the Project Window.ģ. I don't worry about encoding menu assets because DVDA will always transcode menu assets no matter what.Ģ. Drag and drop my menu video/audio onto the menu timeline. By the time I am finished editing, encoding, creating menu content, etc., the DVDA part takes maybe an hour, and most of that is just testing the DVD to make sure everything works as it should.ġ. My experience from authoring numerous DVDs and Blurays with menus in DVDA is that 95% or more of the work occurs before I even open up DVDA. But if all you are after is a play-only DVD versus a DVD with menus, then you are probably better off with a simpler tool than DVD Architect which is admittedly fairly sophisticated but that provides users with a fair amount of flexibility and customization when authoring DVDs with menus. I migrated over to DVDA from Adobe Encore.
