Re: DV master conversion question

all programs capture in .avi. you will have to "render" these files either prior to "authoring" or some dvd authoring programs have an encoder built in. My process is avi to mpg2 via vegas (mainconcept encoder, built in) using the dvd template. I adjust the settings to have the bitrate I want. (You can use a bitrate calculator to help) than I use these files in DVDarchitect. To do this you need to know the bitrate to use so that your files won't be over 4.7GB. This requires a little trial and error and experience. It also helps to render the video and audio separately. If you use the same render zone they will line up. This also helps when you make a sbd version and a aud version cause you only have to render the video once. Be aware that rendering is the most time consuming process. I have a REALLY fast computer and it takes close to an hour and a half to render a dvd. Some computers take close to 8 hours. Good luck
