Hi,
Figured out how to transcode the MPEG4 .nuv files to
a DVD format, burn it to DVD and have it play on my
DVD player.
I built a nuvexport module that does this. Its only
tested on .nuv files captured at 640x480 with 32000hz
audio. But, I think it should work with other
resolutions.
I just copied the module for exporting to SVCD and
experimented with some of the options. The key
for me was doing de-interlacing in the yuvdenoise
stage and an audio bitrate of 384. Moving the
de-interlacing out of mpeg2enc to yuvdenoise really
improved the quality and speed. For some reason,
my DVD player won't work unless the audio bitrate is
384.
It takes about 3 hours to transcode 30 mintues of
video. If you've cut out commercials it will reduce
the time. That's on a 2.4Ghz Pentium.
You can transcode multiple episodes of your favorite
program and put the .vob files into a single
directory.
They will each end up as a chapter on the DVD. I
can put 9 1/2 episodes ( with commercials removed )
on a single DVD.
I'm sending the module to Chris and I assume he'll
include it in the latest version of nuvexport.
