Of course Mpeg-4 is MORE processor intensive than Mpeg-2. Typo.

Seems like a nice feature. I don't really want to switch to mpeg-4 unless MythBurn supports it, but 170M/half hour with Mpeg-4 is a really nice CPU savings over 1GB/half hour with Mpeg-2. 17% of the size. :) But maybe that's just the compression for anime like Naruto and FMA. Maybe normal TV shows don't compress quite so well? I also wonder how badly the quality would degrade, going from my PVR 350's Mpeg-2 -> Mpeg-4 for disk storage, then back to Mpeg-2 for DVD burning. I suppose I could always buy a hardware Mpeg-4 encoder though. Anyway, seems like a desirable feature.

Personally I use my Mac to create DVDs, so I can't tell you much about the authoring apps. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

See my reply re any2vob, it will work it all out for you and even make a 5.1 audio track from the stereo in your avi ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Recording MPEG-4 to DVD
any2vob is great at turning anything other than the cat into a dvd compliant vob file, which you can then use with an authoring program like dvdstyler. http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/any2vob/ It is a shell script, and it has lots of dependencies, but the results are good. The web page is not up to much, but it has a usage summary which will give you a good idea of it's abilities.

Re: [mythtv-users] Recording MPEG-4 to DVD
Thanks very much for your quick reply! So I encode the video into MPEG-2 following the standard resolution for PAL DVD, then use a DVD creator tool to make a DVD ISO and then burn it on DVD? Will standard MPEG-2 be OK or is there some specific version of MPEG-2 I need to encode the video into? Thanks very much again!
