How to fit 4.5/6 hours on a DVD with KDVD full D1 Template?

Hi, This is my first post. I'm not newbie but I cant figure out with this.
I'm trying to convert Beauty and the Beast to KDVD full D1, and I want to fill my DVD with 3 other movies, but the file prediction is given me a very big file size.
Movie=Beauty and the Beast.
FrameRate=23.976fps NTSC
Duration=91 minutes
Template= KDVD-full-D1 at 704x480
CQ = 70
Script=

Code:

LoadPlugin("F:\xx\MovieStacker\Filters\MPEG2Dec.dll")

LoadPlugin("F:\xx\MovieStacker\Filters\GripFit_preview.dll")

LoadPlugin("F:\xx\MovieStacker\Filters\BlockBuster.dll")

LoadPlugin("F:\xx\MovieStacker\Filters\LegalClip.dll")

LoadPlugin("F:\xx\MovieStacker\Filters\Sampler.dll")



mpeg2source("f:\dvds\beauty_and_beast\beauty.d2v")

LegalClip() 

GripCrop(704, 480, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=false)

GripSize()

Convolution3D(preset="animeLQ")

Blockbuster(method="noise", variance=.3, seed=1) 

GripBorders() 

LegalClip() 



Sampler(length=24) 

## MPEG size = ((Total frames/MovieTimeInMinutes)/24) * MPEG sample file size ##

Filesize obtained = 22,947 Kb.
Predicted filesize = 1380Mb.

The quality is great, almost same as original, but I'm just wondering how to fit 6 hours on the same DVD.

Thanks.

Welcome warpjavier,

First of all, remove the blockbuster filter. You don't need that at that resolution. Then check the latest scripts here: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=38
Your script for beauty_and_beast would now look something like this:

Code:

LoadPlugin("F:\xx\MovieStacker\Filters\MPEG2Dec.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\xx\MovieStacker\Filters\GripFit_preview.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\xx\MovieStacker\Filters\BlockBuster.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\xx\MovieStacker\Filters\LegalClip.dll") 

LoadPlugin("F:\xx\MovieStacker\Filters\Sampler.dll") 



mpeg2source("f:\dvds\beauty_and_beast\beauty.d2v") 

LegalClip() 

GripCrop(704, 480, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=false) 

GripSize() 

unfilter(50,50)

temporalsmoother(1,2)

mergechroma(blur(1.58))

mergeluma(blur(0.3))

GripBorders() 

LegalClip() 



Sampler(length=24) 

## MPEG size = ((Total frames/MovieTimeInMinutes)/24) * MPEG sample file size ##

Remember that ~6 hour will fit with very good quality only with normal action movies. Anime and high action are very complex for mpeg encoding, and you'll probably get 4 to 4.5 hour max on a DVD(+-)R with that type of films. Always use file size prediction :wink:

Thanks kwag, with this script I could set CQ to 50 even with very good quality. :D

With this script, can I compress film movies or is better to change something? because I was checking in the forums and I watched an example of City by the Sea with excelent results but different script.

Thanks.

Sorry, but I forgot to ask you something.
I was playing with KVCDx3 template, but I changed GOP to 18 to made it DVD compliant and changed the output resolution to 704x480 and I got excelent quality like KDVD template but with small files. Do you recomend something or I'm doing it in the good way.

Thanks again.
