Downsizing a commercial DVD from 9GB to 4GB is a common procedure, though a lot of the saving comes from removing extraneous elements such as subtitles and extras, which the paranoid in me believes are there in many cases in order to push the size over 4.5GB and hence make copying slightly more difficult. Besides, many .avi files are already highly compressed and have lower video and audio quality than the originals (while still being acceptable to the average viewer). Converting them to MPEG doesn't change the quality, just the size (so older player with weak cpus can decode them at viewing rate). Compressing them again will lose more quality, but of course the viewer may still find them acceptable. A typical 42-minute TV episode (1 hour less commercials) is around 350MB in .avi format, so you'll get a dozen or so on a single-layer DVD. The commercial boxed sets of series (at full broadcast quality) get 3 to 4 episodes per *dual-layer* DVD. poc ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 09:05:37 -0500 From: Brian Millett <bmillett@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: need help understanding why slapd hung f12 boot process To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <1274364338.3941.16.camel@localhost> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" After the updates yesterday, May 19 19:35:08 Updated: krb5-libs-1.7.1-9.fc12.x86_64 May 19 19:35:13 Installed: ibus-pinyin-db-open-phrase-1.3.6-1.fc12.noarch May 19 19:35:14 Updated: ibus-pinyin-1.3.6-1.fc12.x86_64 May 19 19:35:16 Updated: krb5-workstation-1.7.1-9.fc12.x86_64 May 19 19:35:18 Updated: krb5-devel-1.7.1-9.fc12.x86_64 May 19 19:35:19 Updated: fsarchiver-0.6.10-1.fc12.x86_64 May 19 19:35:21 Updated: krb5-libs-1.7.1-9.fc12.i686 May 19 19:35:21 Erased: ibus-pinyin-open-phrase I rebooted and the init boot process hung right after message from udev-post: "Retrigger failed udev events" It just did nothing.

Converting them to MPEG doesn't > change the quality, just the size I'd argue that the last statement isn't true. MPEG is a lossy system, so there will be a loss in quality, as well as size, and that can be compounded by the original compression in the AVI, particularly if it were a lossy scheme, even more so if the lossy techniques are very different. You don't just change a format, you are compressing video when you MPEG it. Whether that will be significantly noticeable, or not, is another matter. That will depend on the amount of MPEG compression, the observer, as well as the equipment. A good MPEG encoder can manage a surprising amount of compression without being objectionable. I was quite surprised to see that a 50% re-compression on one of my dual layer DVDs to a single layer disc was barely noticeable, and I'm quite particular about maintaining quality. Though, typically, I think you want to stay well above 70% compression. It's more luck, than anything else, when you get away with such a radical amount of re-compression. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

You can dump your avi's in your videos folder, then select them with the menus and get the computer to work out the compression to fit all 10 on a DL-DVD. It will even make the menus and stuff automagically. If you have an extra pc lying around, you could whip this together pretty quick. Just ignore the tuner information while getting things set up and the remote, and just use the keyboard. You could try Mythdora or Mythbuntu if you want one pretty well packaged and ready to roll with minimum effort.

As I said before, you use K3B to create a *Data DVD*, not a video DVD. If your player is modern enough, it will just read the (FAT) filesystem and play the .avi files. I do it all the time, though nowadays I usually just copy the .avi's to a pendrive since my player has a USB port. My player is a couple of years old and only has USB 1.1 (the lower bandwidth causes stuttering on some very complex images) but newer ones should definitely be able to so this, plus many of them also understand .mkv, .flv and other formats. As Ed already said, you can of course also create a standard video DVD with multiple titles using authoring software such as devede, but with the caveat that you won't get so much onto each disc. poc ------------------------------ Message: 13 Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 12:42:08 -0430 From: Patrick O'Callaghan <pocallaghan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Burning DVD Videos To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <1274375528.3460.42.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" On Thu, 2010-05-20 at 11:01 -0400, Jim wrote: > > A typical 42-minute TV episode (1 hour less commercials) is around > 350MB > > in .avi format, so you'll get a dozen or so on a single-layer DVD. > The > > commercial boxed sets of series (at full broadcast quality) get 3 to > 4 > > episodes per *dual-layer* DVD. > > > > poc > > > > > I was going to divide the series on two DVD's , 5 on each, I'am just > not > sure how a TV DVD player would handle them.

[Please don't top-post. See the list Guidelines] I've been toying with getting a "media player", e.g. the Western Digital WD Live, which allows you to store all your videos on an external USB drive (which you supply separately) and converts them on the fly to a HD TV signal. It's only $100-150 on Amazon and the Live model also has Wifi. I'm sure MythTV on a spare box can do all this as well, there's something to be said for special-purpose boxes in this sort of situation. I'm open to persuasion however. poc ------------------------------ Message: 15 Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 14:06:04 -0400 From: Jim <mickeyboa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Installing Qdvdauthor ?

But my friend doesn't have that luxury he will have to play and watch the videos on a TV. I will put five videos on a DATA DVD (Two DVDs for all 10 video series) and see if he can play them that way. ------------------------------ Message: 17 Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 11:20:31 -0700 From: Mercury Rising <mercuryrising11@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: New to Linux - BIOS before 2000? To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <AANLkTimiO0z-kwfX_z4jCBFNf9mKCeMC8nzJ7e4hTFxC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" hi, I got so tired of windows problems - viruses, screen - computer freezes, I just stuck in a Linux for non-geeks CD and loaded it. It wiped my hard drive as expected, but I kept getting an error near the end of the install. A friend gave me another Linux load, but it give me an error saying my BIOS was 1997 and I needed a a 2000 BIOS or better. The machine has a Pentium 3 with 550 MHz CPU with over 700 Megs memory but a small hard drive of just 10 Gigs with a swapable drive in pull out bay with a grab bar. I was using Windows XP Pro 2000 for OS. I installed a USB 2.0 on it that worked most of the time. I have done a lot of Google searches to see if I could find Linux and a GUI that would be as easy as a Mac or XP environment for a 1997 BIOS machine. Any ideas on a good Linux load for such an old machine? With the XP I could print to a office jet 7410 all-in-one printer, scanner fax with no problems. Browsing the Internet was ok, but video - youtube was mostly non-worable - mostly too slow. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
