Re: [mythtv-users] Burning DVDs from mpeg2/nuv
All I do is tell myth to use the DVD Special 2 (or something like that) encoder and set a highish bit rate. I take the nuv file and directly feed it into Nero Vision Express. I don't lose any quality in re-encoding as it's already in mpeg2 format needed for DVD. Don't put in any CC or other VBI data, Nero doesn't seem to like that too much. It's quite simple. I create all the menus I want within Nero. I'm all for Linux, but sometimes it's the tool that's more important than the OS for a specific job. # Endaf Brad Fuller wrote: What do most people do when they want to make a DVD from a show?
