Their are programs to assist with the mathematics if necessary. But
if you are not proficient with this ideology I would suggest adding
raw (unencoded) files ie dv into DVDSP and if you guess wrong it is
very easy to modify and quicker to re-encode than have to rebuild
mpegs then rebuild your output in DVDSP. Also if you set DVDSP up
correctly most times it will build mpegs, vobs etc. while you are
designing your DvD hence less compiling-rendering time when it comes
time to Build, Format and Burn your DvD.
Does it strike anyone else as bizarre that in 2005 we are manually
calculating bit-rates and your ability to successfully author a DVD
depends on your ability to do this calculation?
Yes, quite. Boring too;)
When there is just a big red button I might get interested.
Has anyone on the list come across/used a PC based PVR (personal video
recorder)?
I hear there are purpose built Linux distros to do the job.
Specifically, can anyone make a comparison between one and an Eyetv 400
on a Mac?
It is for my "one day" wish list.
Cheers
