ffmpeg ntsc-dvd 30000div1001

10moy2014

i threw a video at ubuntu's bombomo to make a dvd and the default results were horrible. When i tried to play it on a dvd player the video kept stuttering and played real choppy.

bombono-dvd uses avconv ffmpegs replacement but some one forgot to tell bombono and ffmpeg to use the correct frame rate [-r 30000/1001].

since the frame rate in avconv was wrong the videos played poorly on a dvd player when burned to dvd.but worked okay on my computer. the only way to really test things was to burn a copy.

In part_3:i used [-qscale 3] to get the video small enough to fit a dvd. and the quality was not that bad for a standerd def tv.

the qblur settings and other settings are because the original source video was a mp4 before i turned it into a avi and then finaly a mpeg2 for a dvd. the blur settings i think are something i have seen in avidemux.

give avconv and bombono a try to make a dvd. ymmv. i like the gui of bombono dvd. your milage may verry.

bombono dvd has a better looking gui than DVDstyler

Modified aspect ratio (MAR) 1.33:1 (4:3) fullscreen AND or 1.78:1 (16:9) widecreen

Modified Aspect Ratio is a home cinema term for the aspect ratio
or dimensions in which a film was modified to fit a specific type of screen,
as opposed to original aspect ratio.
Modified aspect ratios are usually either 1.33:1 (historically),
or (with the advent of widescreen television sets) 1.78:1 aspect ratio. ==

.....................
1.33:1 is the modified aspect ratio used historically in VHS format.
A modified aspect ratio transfer is achieved by means of pan and scan or open matte,
the latter meaning removing the cinematic matte from
a 1.85:1 film to open up the full 1.33:1 frame.

*********Univisium. 2.00:1 (2:1)**********
Original SuperScope ratio, also used in Univisium.
Used as a flat ratio for some American studios in the 1950s, abandoned in the 1960s,
but recently popularized by the Red One camera system.
======================
The main proposal

In 1998, cinematographer Vittorio Storaro announced his plans for a new film format,
originally to be called Univision.
======================
As Storaro stated in his written proposal "Recently, any movie - no matter how big or small,
successful or not - will,
after a very short life on the big screen, have a much longer life on an electronic screen.
=====================
Storaro opines that, in the future of cinema,
all films will be photographed in either high-definition video for small,
intimate digital projection theaters, or in 65 mm for "big audience... large screen" films.
[3] In the cinematographer's opinion, as all films will be one of the two formats,
he suggests a common aspect ratio compromise of 2:00:1
(mathematical average of 65 mm 2.21:1 and HD 1.78:1)
be adopted for all films, 65 mm theatrical, HD theatrical and television.

******** 1.78:1 Video widescreen standard ***********

Video widescreen standard (16:9), used in high-definition television,
one of three ratios specified for MPEG-2 video compression.
Also used in some personal video cameras.
=====================
Initially the existing 5:3 aspect ratio had been the main candidate,
but due to the influence of widescreen cinema,
the aspect ratio 16:9 (1.78) eventually emerged as being a reasonable
compromise between 5:3 (1.67) and the common 1.85 widescreen cinema format.
(It has been suggested that the 16:9 ratio was chosen as being the geometric mean of 4:3, Academy ratio, and 2.35:1, the widest cinema format in common use,
in order to minimize wasted screen space when displaying content with a variety of aspect ratios.)
