I have just bought a new DVD burner and I was wondering how I would go about burning a movie. I have a tv tuner and I record my favourite TV shows into MPG or AVI format... Now I was wondering how to burn them onto DVD so that they will be able to be played on a normal DVD player, not just a computer... I have NERO if that's any help... Thanks!

if you capture at 480 x 480, you make a svcd.
If you capture at
720 x 480
6000 to 7000 kb's per sec
29.97 frames per second.
stereo
mpeg layer 1
48 khz
384 bit rate,
you make a dvd

I would use nero vision express.

Yup but that is the audio portion of the capture, and nero will make an ac3 stream with that file. Stereo 2 channel. The differance between mpg1 and mpg layer1, thanks.

No it's not the audio portion. MPEG 2 is the video portion. ther are many different audio tracks on a DVD but none use MPEG2

Are you catching the "layer" part?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=mpeg+layer+1&btnG=Google+Search

Do ya get the LAYER part?

Since David didnt specify which capture card he was using, spec was for mpeg "layer"1. For Audio
Some cards capture mpeg "layer" 1 or 3.
either or,
stereo
mpeg "layer" 1
48 khz
384 bit rate,

Since the man says he has NERO, which mpeg "layer" 1 or 3 is the more compatable way NERO makes an ac3 file.

MPEG-1 is suitable only for standard definition TV (SDTV) or lower resolutions. There are two main SDTV formats, PAL/SECAM (625 line) and NTSC (525 line).
What does this have to do with a dvd?
Any capture at
720 x 480
6000 to 7000 kb's per sec
29.97 frames per second.
Is standard "mpeg2". A default most any card will follow. Unless you have some really crappy capture device?
Nice links, basic info.

In closing,
You make good points.

Yup, I get the layer part, but i still don't see what this has to do with DVD audio. What your talking about is what the video capture card uses, not a standard DVD disc.

Look Kurt, no one makes a Live Tv bit for bit capture device. Well sorta, but its all analog, to digital. Not sure what the results would be? Probably a low resolution jerky video.

Nows the time to get a HDTV card because the FCC is wanting all PC capture cards to recognize flags that HDTV stations will start using in july. But the courts told the FCC they overstepped.

The missing link here is we didnt discuss DVD players attached to TV/AMP. Ya well David really needs to capture at those specs. That in turn, will encode very well to a dvd.

Anyways mpeg2 may stay around a long, long time. Although media delivery services, as in sattelitte, maybe cable, maybe dsl are opting for mpeg4 compression. HD.

Lets talk about Blue Ray discs.

I'm thinking mpeg4 in a mpeg4 container for BLUE RAY. If HD DVD wins, probably stay at mpeg2.

Divx needs to go to mpeg4 container. Drop avi container.
Im sure mpeg2 isnt up to image quality for Blue Ray.

I dont recommend watching anime, but these guys have a good read. Refresher.

Heres something to look forward to.
