I'm glad to hear that you did it.

Welcome to the advanced world of video editing

Thanks. If it wasn't for the help I got I could have never come up with those scripts.

Now I have a hard way uphill to learn what filters to use and how.

For instance, which would be a nice filter to "cheat" resolution a bit when converting from a 720p MKV file to an MPEG2 file to author a DVD?

LimitedSharpenFaster perhaps?

How can I select small pieces of the file to use as tests for possible combinations?

The latest build works great !

So far I've used the latest AVStoDVD build to encode two different .avi video clips into DVD ready movies. And both times
AVStoDVD worked well without a problem.
Keep up the good work.

That's a good question for AviSynth forum section.

Go to 'Title Edit'/'AviSynth', toggle off 'Auto AviSynth Script' and use 'Trim' filter. I.e. insert 0 - 1000 frames.

Great. I will use that for my tests.

Is there a way to use AVStoDVd just to output the AC3 track? How?

Well, there is not a proper function, but you can use a workaround:

- from the taskbar select 'Output'/'Elementary MPEG2 streams'
- load your file to demux audio
- select 'Title Edit'/'Video', toggle off 'Auto Video Setup'
- select 'QuEnc CBR 1-pass' from 'Video Encoding Profile'
- press OK and press START
- after few video encoding seconds, stop QuEnc
- let audio encoding finish off

you will get a small unuseless m2v file and a full AC3 file.

Or, more simply, use eac3to.

Yes, I ended up using eac3 to GUI to make the conversion. Now I am looking for a way to increase levels in the AC3 file.

How I can preserve my custom menu, if I want to replace the video source from a title with another one? For now, I have edited the project file and changed video paths manually, but is there easier way?

BTW, thanks for creating AVStoDVD. Everything is so easy to understand because there is not useless crap to confuse and still encoded quality is very good. And it is free! =)

@Flux

you went on the only (now available) way to change one title without resetting the DVD Menu setup.

In my neverending ToDo list, there is a "Save custom DVD menu template" item...

I have some problems with a few BluRay discs I want to convert to DVD.
They contain DTS-HD streams.
AVStoDVD converts them to wav (with some warnings that wav will be over 4GB). Shown playtime seems not ok, over 6000 Hours?!
Then Aften starts AC3 encoding and ends up with an buffer overflow error at 0% (in console window).

I think thats cause it doesn't support it yet. But if you really want to make a dvd out of a blueray. Just extract the streams using tsmuxer. Than use eac3to. encode the audio to ac3. Then use tsmuxer again to mux it back together. Run it through AvsToDVD again and click keep dvd compliant audio.

@Wishbringer

I must admit that I have never tried to use AVStoDVD as BD "downgrader"... mainly because I do not have any BDs...

But, if you can provide a short sample of your BD or, at least, the AVStoDVD project log file, it could be a good start.

Gizzin's method () should work well, even if it is not a "one-click" solution.

Is it possible to join one or several avi files with AVStoDVD?

How?

Please explain better because your question is not clear. Literally it means "input: more avi files / output: one avi file".

When I capture something from my camera or Canopus converter, it splits the files in shots or shorter multiple avi files.

Until now I joined the files in Procoder or in VirtualDub, making just one file instead of many of them.

In VirtualDub this is called "Append", in Procoder is called "Stitch".
How is it called in AVStoDVD?

You can't do this in avstodvd. Its probably on the todo list I'd imagine. Just keep using virtualdub its not that much extra work is it?

OK. I will keep using VD for that.

Here's another one: how can you set exactly the size of the m2v file you are going to get from AVStoDVD?

In Procoder I do that by setting the output bitrate. In TMPGEnc 4.0 Express by going to DVD9, to free the maximum bitrate, and filling in the size you wish to.

I still can't see how you do that with AVStoDVD. Is it possible?

Correction: can I do that simply by setting the minimum bitrate the program should use. Perhaps using the value BitrateCalc suggests?

Size targeting (m2v+ac3):
- press 'DVD Size'/'Custom' in the toolbar
- enter your custom DVD size

Bitrate targeting:
- load you input files
- press 'Title Edit'/'Video'
- toggle off 'Auto Video Setup'
- toggle off 'Auto BitRate Calculation'
- edit 'Video Avg BitRate'

Is it possible to toggle-off AC3? To convert just m2v?
