All of the James Bonds on one DVD-R ?

[Anonymous]

How about trying to fit all the james bonds on one dual sided dvd-r using kwags templet with mpeg 2 and a res of 352x288? I am not sure of how many bond there are but I work out that we should be able to fit 20 to a dual sided dvd-r.

Hi Baker:

You can do that
DVD specs. allow MPEG-1 at 352x240 ( or 288 PAL ).
But the audio has to be 48Khz.
There is a limitation on the size of the GOP for DVD. It can't be longer than 18 frames for NTSC or 15 frames for PAL.
This will not allow as much compression as is available in the KVCD template, but still you should be able to fit 3 or 4 full movies in a 4.7GB DVD-R.

If you've done your SVCD's at 352x576 MPEG-2 with a standard PAL SVCD template, and the GOP is equal to or less that 15 frames, then you're ok.

Just try to open your mpegs with a program like Sonic DVDit or ULead's Movie Factory and see if it will open the file without re-encoding it.

If it does, then your mpeg files are DVD compliant.
