Question About Quality!!!!!

[chad_er33]

just wondering what would make a better dvd:

Mini DV Master (LP Mode) > DV/PC > 1 DL DVD-R
Video-4:3, 24 bit, 720x480 29.97 FPS, 7000 kp/s
Audio-LPCM @ 48000 HZ Stereo

or

Mini DV Master (LP Mode) > PC > 1 DVD-R
Video-4:3, 720x480 29.97 FPS, MPEG2
Audio-Dolby Digital @ 48000 FZ Stereo, 256 kb/s

i am not quite sure the difference.  i think this is all the info available.? any help would be fantastic.? thanks? ?

[Mr. Redman]

Probably the DV and LPCM (The LPCM is lossless, I believe)

But, I'm not a DVD expert, so don't take my word on it.

is lpcm the best for audio?  what is better than mpeg2?

[Back Off Bitch]

LPCM is uncompressed... LPCM is like WAV/FLAC/APE/SHN when Dolby is like MP3...

MPEG-2 is standard for DVDs... even though I think but am not positive that some official dvds use MPEG-4...

Dual-layer PCM is better...

third option, in my opinion. You can use a software called GSpot, which is freeware and very useful.

I aint no expert but I would choose the third option you have listed. always good to keep the audio uncompressed in my opinion, this would also make it easier for those who dont like Dual-layer.

Or if you would prefer to keep it on one disc go with the first dual-layer option and increase the max video data-rate to use up the majority of the disc.
