When you click on Make DVD-Video in Nero, all you need to do is add your newly created .mpg file and burn that.

The mpg does not have the soft subs if you use soft subs. Also, you probably want several episodes on one disc, so unless Nero also authors the disc, you will need to use a DVD Authoring tool before that so you can choose your episodes. Author your mpgs in DvdAuthorGui and then select "Dvd Video" in Nero and input your ISO file.

I'm not clear about the thing you said regarding, "making the subtitle clear"


I meant that if you are using the SRT file for softsubs, then the subtitles should automatically be clear because they don't distort the background video. The SRT file is just a text file that is converted to images. You don't need a menu to select the subtitles. Just click the "subtitle" button on your DVD player and you can turn them on and off. If your subtitles are blurry, I would suggest trying a different font.

The short answer is yes. Use 4430 / 3 = 1476. Put 1476 into CD Size in the bitrate tab.
The longer answer is that this will vary if you use DVR-r instead of DVD+r. It can also vary if you use complex menus, but 1476 should be fine in most cases. Check the faq at the end of the tutorial for more info.

No. Many people convert the softsubs to hard subs and I highly recommend against this. I will add this to the FAQ because I think this is a good question. If you use hard subs, you will get worse quality video because MPG is a lossy compression. You are also wasting video bandwidth where you don't have to. If you look closely around the subtitles for hard subs you can see how the image is not clear. With softsubs you can turn the subtitles off at any time with the "subtitle" button on your dvd player and the video quality does not change because the subs are decoded separately.

Go to videohelp.com and download Koepi's Xvid codec. Make sure you can play the AVI in Window's Media Player. It also could mean that your Frameserver parameters are incorrect. Make sure you have input the correct numbers from FitCD.

This depends on so many things, it is impossible to say. The speed of your CPU, the type of CPU, the amount of RAM, how many processes you have loaded in the background, the priority you set of the encoding process, the number of passes you use for VBR, the parameters you set for your encoding, the type of encoder you use, etc.

I have a P4 and I try to do the best video quality I can get. It takes me about 3 1/2 hours to convert a 1 hour episode.

It helps that you took a screnshot. In the encoder tab where it says "QuEnc", you must point to the QuEnc executable. You have "C:\Downloads\QuEnc.zip". Unzip that file to a directory like "C:\Program Files\QuEnc\". Then your path for the QuEnc should be "C:\Program Files\QuEnc\QuEnc.exe"

Although this may be impossible in your given situation, I think we're at the point in time where, with sub-US$500 computers, a family can afford a computer for every family member. I can't phantom the idea of having to share a single computer in a family household.

well my house isn't that big and we already have 4 computers. 4 kids in the family plus my dad. only my bro and me have to share b/c we're the youngest...

i'm sorry that i don't own my own computer -_-;; last time i checked though, this isn't the place to critize how cheap my family is, which is what i'm assuming you're going at with that really rude comment you made.

If you aren't doing any heavy processing, then you should be fine running the encoding as a background task. In the "Misc." tab, make the process priority normal and you can do other things. If you do this it will not slow down your internet connection. However, if you are running something that uses a lot of CPU like a 3D game, then you will probably want to hold off and do the encoding when the computer is free.

I´m a little confused here... to play in dvd players don´t it have to be a .vob file? I did a mess here... I has to be audio and video separated? I liked you tutorial but it is to complex for me... Sad
