Hi guys, I need your help! I have a problem authoring the DVD using DVD-Lab Pro...

Now i have:

a VIDEO Stream 720x576 Bitrate 7000 Size: 7,35 GB

3 Audio Streams: nearly 5 GB

Now my problem is: How can I make 3 DVDs out of this Shit using DVD-Lab - I don't know it!
Or should I use "Reduce MPEG Size" and put it on 2 DVDs??

Please help me out, and propably someone can give me a short instruction how it works!


Thank you!

if you have one full videostream its a idea to cut it up with tmpgenc dvd author, that way you wont loose any quality

yes because u can't cut the video files when they are already into DVD-lab right?
So u need to load stuff already cut off in different parts!

OK - THX a lot!

some randoms questions by myself:

1) Otto said that we can cut a bit MPG file with tmpgenc DVD author, but I will have a VIDEO_TS directory, so I need to author it again with the same program to get a cutted MPG from the original? (I don't want different VOB files, how can I load them in DVD-Lab?!, different demultiplex etc).

2) When I load a MPG and another audio source to DVD-Lab, how can I know if they aren't too much big for a 4.7 Gb DVD?
There isn't just the space of the MPG, but maybe of another audio source + menus + menu's audio

3) After cut a MPG with tmpgenc dvd author, I need to cut for example the 2nd audio source too in the same place and then load it on DVD-Lab.
How can I cut this 2nd audio source? in Sony Vegas and then render it?

I'm a bit confused!
Thanks

Man, i can't give you any direct advises! I liked DVD-Lab, but trying to author my Novarock show, it really sucked! So i bought the Adobe Encore and authored it with that program!

For all Video and Audio edits I used Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. For all Images work i used photoshop 7.0 and for thr authoring Adobe Encore! It really worked pretty good! Premiere is on of the best editing tools for video ever!


The problem with the size of the shows... First i thought I make a 2 DVD Set for Novarock, but with the 3 Audio Sources it was to big, so i made 3 DVD out of it! I did not want to convert and loose quality! Would be great if there would be a Bitrate Calc or something like that?!

thanks for the infos, is Adobe Encore difficulte to use?

For sure with all these audio-sources u need to slip the show into 3 DVDs like u said!

[ChristophFe]

First it wasn't that confortable to use than the other Adobe Software I think but after a while i learned to use it...

for cutting up ready converted Mpeg-2 Files, also with more Audio Sources i used:

I did not find out, how i know when i have to cut it, that was only luck i think! I cut the Novarock show to 3x 50 Minutes -> not excatly

edit:

After i tranfered the Novarock Video from the Cam to the PC i saved it as uncompressed DV-Avi -> you can say i got a Copy of my Cassettes on my Hard Drive.
I used Adobe Premiere, and i got 3 Parts, because I had 3 Cassettes recorded.

I put them behind each other and then you get your Video Line and your Audio Line in Premiere.

I concerted the Livemet Flac's into wav files and then started to sync them Up in Premiere too. One after the other, in the second Audio Line. And for the parts between the Livemet Audio i copied the Original Sound to it. Then used some Fade Mixing, so that you do not hear the different that good.

And for the Audio Mix, I saved both Audiolines together, you can also play then with the DB Rate and Volume of the two Audio Lines...

Before i started authoring, i used cuttermaran and load there the seperate saved *.M2V Video File.

I saved every Line seperate: i got 1 Video File, and 3 Audio Files. With cuttermaran I searched the places, where i cut the Video File and then the Program automatically cut the 3 Audio Lines at the same Time (frame).

That was the whole Audio/Video editing...
