DVD Encoding Question
by Dan Asselin on Aug 15, 2009 at 3:14:26 am

Hi;

Sorry if this is a very basic question but here goes. A few years ago when I started authoring discs for companies the advice I got was to not encode above 5.5 mbs/sec because many DVD players were having trouble handling anything above that. This advice came from some major businesses in the field so it was not just a random choice. But that was then and I have lost those contacts.

Now I'd like to ask "has the technical outlook for players changed enough that we can safely obtain better quality in standard DVD by now using a higher birate?".

I'd be very interested to know what people are using out there as their standard.

Thanks;

Dan

Using high-quality blank media like Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim, for most modern DVD players 8 Mbps is not unreasonable.

I also burn DVDs with 6 and 7 VBR and have received no complaints about not being able to play the DVD. With 2pass VBR and my content burning greater than 7 gives me no benefit.
