Xvid to DvD - How many 'can' fit?

« on: May 23, 2007, 05:05:44 PM »

Hey guys, nice site.

I've read guides, tried those 'most used' Xvid/Divx to DvD progs...
ImToo didn't work.
{Audio wasn't 'whole'}
Luckily ConvertXtoDvD seem to do the job well...
I burned 4 Xvid on a DvD+RW to test it out, and everything was perfect...

Now my question is, how can i tell how many 'episodes/clips' I can put on a DvD without losing quality?
{Yeah i know, i could always Convert->Burn a few, test it out, format disc, add/remove clips till it works... but... there gotta be a way to calculate that..}

Most clips i have are ~24mins between 180/230Mo - 512/288~640/320 Size...
Mpeg-3 Audio{128kbps}, 19FPS/126-140KPS or 23FPS/�160KPS Video.

Thanks!

Btw, i also have a few .ogm vids with 2 audio stream {'in-vid' subtitles}, think i can convert/burn those with ConvertXtoDvD?
{If not, which program would do the job?}
Was going to try it later this week. Undecided

Sorry if all of this has been asked before...

Obviously it depends on the quality you want of the video. But if you've already encoded a few and they look good to you then you can figure it out. You know the size of those files, and the size of a single layer DVD is 4.7GB. So if each episode is 350MB, then you could probably fit 13 episodes on a disc at that quality. Thats my guess.

Doesn't it increase in size {mo wise} when going from 640/320 to Full screen?

Usualy i put 5 episodes... even tho it says 2.5gb at the bottom of ConvertXtoDvD...
The end result is 4gb tho...
Does that mean i'm wasting space?
{the other 1.5gb is just.. 'wasted quality'?}

Maybe i should try doing 8-10 episodes once... Cheesy

Thanks for the reply.
