Burning Video DVD

Postby Kevmaster » Thu May 29, 2008 10:29 am

so I tried burning some amv's on (Video) DVD using Nero.


It started the burning process and then took 7 hours to tell me it failed to burn the dvd.


Twice.


This is kinda annoying since it's taking that much time, i also didn't ever have this problem before and I've done it multiple times.



Does anybody have an idea whats the problem or can point out another free program that does the same job?

what format are the amvs you are burning? if they are divx/xvid the you can get a lot of similar issues as in an editing program, though most notably de-synced audio

it's a Mix of lossless/h264 files.

Hmm, maybe Nero is having difficulty re-encoding the files. All files end up having to be compressed to MPEG-2 for a DVD, so you might try to transcode it to that before handing it to Nero.

As far as speed is concerned, if you have mostly h264 files then a combination of CoreAVC as your decoder, and WinAVI for your dvd making, then you'd have that done in like 5-10 mins with a decent processor...


I have a 2.8 AMD Dual Core and I get about 300fps when converting h264 with WinAvi, had to do it a while back for some fansubs I wanted to watch, just a thought.

I totally don't have enough space to re-encode all these files :

Would you mind explaing this further? (though, I can't expect my computer to do anything fast, simply because its a slow piece of sh*t: Compressing to h264 usually goes with like 0.3 fps)

Well, first I guess I must say it would cost you a bit of money which might be a red flag right from the start depending on your financial situation, it should be around 8 bucks for CoreAVC and about 30 for WinAvi, though you can download trial versions from both programs I believe.

Installing CoreAVC and specifying its use in WinAvi along with pretty much every other media player or converter should speed up the decoding process dramatically which is perfect for watching those high quality fansubs or in your case, to decode the h264 files and re-encode to mpeg2 which is where WinAvi comes in. Now, many people frown upon WinAvi saying it is inferior to other popular Dvd encoders like XtoDVD but as far as speed is concerned no other program can compare and that's what you want.

So to summarize, CoreAvc plus WinAvi Video Converter should give you faster h264 decoding speeds and might speed up your dvd making, though yes, WinAvi lacks a lack of the costumization you might be used to in your dvds (menus, multiple audio streams) but it's something you might check out as an alternative, I hear CoreAvc does wonders for older processors.
