Dvdtranscode table

Note: The correct title of this article is dvdtranscode table. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.

dvdtranscode table configures MTD when transcoding from one format to another (Ex: MPEG-2 DVD to MPEG-4 Xvid)

MTD

This table tells MTD what paramaters for a given type to pass to the transcode program

Setting these fields in the database change how mtd calls transcode

• grow_h and grow_w: Changing these to values other greater than 0 pass the "-X" option to transcode.

• f_resize_h and f_resize_w: Changing these to values other greater than 0 pass the "-B" option to transcode.

• hq_resize_h and hq_resize_w: Changing these to values other greater than 0 pass the "-Z" option to transcode. This is best used for example if you want to change your 720x576 DVD to 360x272 you would set hq_resize_w=360 and hq_resize_h=272

• bitrate is what is used with the transcode "-w" option to set the encoder bitrate
