How many minutes can a DVD have? Other questions...

Post by T3tr1s »

I'd like to know how many minutes can a 4.7 DVD have.
Example: I have episodes of an anime, 22 minutes each. How many episodes can I record on a single DVD?

And what about creating titles? I mean: I want to make videos separately, not one movie with 5 episodes. Like on Hollywood movies' discs, where you can find "extras", with little movies as extras. Is this feature available on Avi2Dvd?

Can you guys understand me? I'm often messing with my ideas :roll:

Thanks.

there is no formula on how many minutes you can add since that we do not have an costant bitrate ...
Lets say 200 minutes are an good limit [3 hours and 20 min]
Tip the avi2dvd can load up to 9 episodes at once !!!

TRy to put all the episode in one folder like : c:\episodes
then rename the episodes like this :
Episode CD1.avi
Episode CD2.avi
Episode CD3.avi
Episode CD4.avi
Episode CD5.avi
Episode CD6.avi
Episode CD7.avi
Episode CD8.avi
Episode CD9.avi

Load the Episode CD1.avi on avi2dvd it will join all of them

Hmmm, but then the Episodes are joined and that is not what I want to do.
What do you think about my suggestion to implement an option where the user can enter the bitrate manually, so it would be possible to encode some episodes without having to join them :)

this cannot be done it is rather difficult to me to explai in to you but for now we have this restriction ...
[play with the chapters to separate the episodes between them]

Hmm i thought it would be possible to edit the EclCCE.ecl file that is created for the encoding process, because it looks so easy to use different values.
If it doesn't work like you say (and I asume you know what you're talking about) I'll have to stick to the "manual" method...

Your program is awesome anyways and thanks for the fast answers!
