Mencoder: File Undersized?

[bigggt]

OK i know when using MEncodeMe with mpeg1 we were getting undersized files but now i got a dvd writer i am trying dvd but still am getting the same result

Its an avi that is roughly 90 minutes and i load avi filtering and select half kdvd and set media size to 1400 avg bitrate of around 2000

352x480 and the final size was 550mb

Can someone please explain to me what i am doing wrong

If the video is correc then that means that mencoder didnt need more bit to encode it

You are doing a really small video (90 min) and you ask 1/2DVD reso. That's not a surprise.

What should i select instead of half kdvd to put 2 or 3 movies on 1 dvd

[Dialhot]

Full DVD

mencoder or even tmpgenc of course can put easily 4h of anamorphic video on a DVD. And if you plan to do non anamorphic (letterboxed, not fullscreen !) then you can put 6h, so 3 movies. But I won't do that.

OK thanx

I can see i still don't understand some of the dvd settings yet ,but i will eventually

Theres also in MencodeMe a template similair called as "DVDHQ" or so.
This forces lmin=0.3 or so similair. Which makes larger files (and even more quality possible)

[Koekies]

Are you using mpeg1 or mpeg2? Mencoder gives better results with mpeg2

[bigggt]

Thanx Inc ,but i don't see the template

@ Koekies

I am using Mpeg2 ,i had the problems with mpeg1(like everyone was), thats why i don't understand whats going on ,I seem to be getting the same results mpeg1 and mpeg2

KDVD full in your target subdir in your mencodeme dir open it with notepad and change it

[bigggt]

Thanx Koekies

One more ? is it the value rigfht before the notch matrix starts

[Koekies]

there should be only one lmin but in both the KDVD files half and full the lmin=1 so lower it to 0.3

EDIT: I'm using lmin=0.01 for ksvcd
