[Mjpeg-users] [OT] DVD Writer recommendation

2003-03-31 Thread Javier Hernandez
Hi All,

I think I have read some messages on this list of persons creating DVDs
at linux.

My intention is to convert some DV raw captures (the marvellous Canopus ADVC-100)
to vobs and put them in DVDs, at linux.

Now cames the main doubt: Which DVD burner to buy ?

I have read some information at internet:

http://www.smithdot.net/  (DVD Standards Comparison by Drive Generation)

http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/  (DVD+RW+R for linux)

and I think the most recommended ones are:

   Pioneer DVD-105 and Sony DRU-500A

I would appreciate if anyone at the list have experience with DVD
burning and base on his/her experience which one is most recommended.

Best regards,

PD. Sorry if it is OT

Everything that you know is wrong, but you can be straightened out.

Hi Selva,

Thank you for your reply. All the information you have provided
me in this email is very valuable.

  I did run that DV raw material with MPlayer in my computer:
  - Audio is great aceptable.
  - Video quality is not perfect but it is acceptable.

 A decent analog-dv box, which I think Canopus is, should give you very
 good quality. I am not sure I understand what is not perfect about your
 video. Is it interlacing artifacts that troubles you? Video for TV

Well, maybe is interlacing but not only that, I was refering also to
what appears to be not clear/ grain video.

 you may see combing effects at fast motion scenes. (see
 http://www.lukesvideo.com/interlacing.html) Try playing with mplayer's
 deinterlacing option (-npp lb ?) for a smoother looking display.

Very good link to understand interlacing, thanks.

 If your final mpeg or divx movie is meant for viewing on a TV monitor you
 need not worry about the interlacing artifacts, but if you are more
 concerned about smoother display on a computer monitor you can deinterlace
 the video using yuvdenoise -F before transcoding.  Deinterlacing is a
 lossy process so do it only if you really need progressive video. Most
 software players can do some primitive deinterlacing on the fly.

 If you are talking of quality issues other than interlacing artifacts,
 try to describe what you see in more detail -- someone on the list may be
 able to help you.

I am doing more testings with more options. The video appearance of
my first few works was not good (grained ??? maybe that is not the
appropriate English word; not good resolution ?? as seen at the
screen).

I am just starting with this video conversion and I will probably need
some more testing. Maybe higher Bitrate, even it takes more CDRs would
be a solution.

Best regards and thanks again for all that valuable information.
