Re: Consolidating MINI DVD's to a regular DVD

Sorry, I simply disagree. There is already missing picture data because of
the IBP frame structure of MPEG-2. Upon further compression this becomes
more noticable. If you can't detect it then fine. Personally this loss of
quality is something I cannot live with, and most people I deal with see
the difference too. It's not a phobia, it's having a more discerning
eye - simple as that.



Again there is no loss of quality involved for the OP. What
he has is DVD compliant MPEG in the .vob files from the
mini-DVD (80mm) disks his camcorder made. What he, like
you (with your "more discerning eye") or anyone else, needs
for a Video DVD is - DVD compliant MPEG.

There is also no further compression needed, unless the OP
wishes to put more video than is currently on 4.7Gb worth of
his 1.46GB 80mm mini-DVD disks.

The native MPEG editing currently available would be more
than enough for the task described by the OP.

Luck;
Ken

P.S. Why do you and PT even mention DVDs? Surely you two
can't be watching DVD video, with your discerning eyes. After all
it is suffering from the loss of picture quality you can't stand, it's
made with "IBP" frames, it's compressed. How do you find your
26GB DV-AVI Hollywood productions, anyway? Is there a special
outlet the rest of us just don't know about? How many disks do
they come in bye the way? Is there a special AVI authoring program?
How about the standalone "AVI-DVD" players, just where do you
find those?
