alright, so i have the desperate housewives series on my computer in Xvid

wanting to put it all on dvd. each episode is 300 megs.  I added 4 episodes to the dvdsanta program which converted it to vobs.  
Then i used DVD-lab to make my menus and add soundtracks and such. and burnt the compiled files.

unfortunately, i noticed a significant decrease in gamma or brightness on the dvd compared to the xvid.  how do i rectify this?  

should i be using winavi instead?

afonic, what is your fav program to use out of the 4 you have tutorials for?

thnx.

hmm, i also have one other question, i\'m still very new to all this. but i\'ve been finding that the dvd\'s that i make seem to lack the HDTV quality the original XVID files had.  i just ran a dvd containing 4 X 330meg epsidoes on a one DVD-5 and played one of he episodes in the xvid file format on my computer and could REALLY notice the difference.  It seems counterintuitive to be losing quality on a DVD-5 from 330meg xvids on my computer  but that is what is happening.  Again, the programs i\'m using is first DVD-santa to get the xvids into vobs, then adding the vobs to DVd-Lab and adding my own menus and such.

going to try winavi also and see if that changes anything.  THnx

Well about the brightness problem, I don\'t think there is a DVDSanta option that controls that, maybe you can alter the XviD codec settings?

As for what I use, for a fast and easy conversion I use one of WinAVI and dvdSanta, if I need more expert settings and stuff, I use TMPGEnc Plus (and not express).

Also when converting to DVD you lose quality. Of course dvdSanta has very good quality and speed, but to get it as good as possilbe you should se TMPGEnc and 2-pass encode mode.

See the guide:
