DO NOT MODIFY ANY PART OF MPEG FILEĪll this you should do before you create first DV AVI file, before encoding. Now what you should not do if you don't want to re-encode I checked it with PowerDVD (turn on "Show Information" to see current bitrate) Final result that I saw in IfoEdit is that there is one VOB file with 2 Titles in it. I created chapters on begining and in the middle of each fileĪs you can see I used 2 MPEG files with different type of encoding, CBR and VBR. I just grabbed 2 MPEG files to time line
#Pinnacle studio 9 no video plus
I encoded it with TMPGEnc Plus to 6000 CBR and 8000 2pass VBR. How to author with MPEG files that were encoded by TMPGEnc without re-encoding Don't stop "Make Disk" process if it is in "Compiling Disc." (Rendering is fine) stage. Now this might be favorite section by a lot users, but this is only time that it crashed for me. How can you make Studio to crash (or what not to do) Somebody recomended that insted of setting priority to 1 as I have, you can try 4 if you are having still problem. Option / Enviromental setting / VFAPI plug-inĪnd move "DirectShow Multimedia File Reader" to first position by changing priority (right click) How to make TMPGEnc to read Studio's AVI file Rest is just copied from original AVI file (no loss of quality). it was captured with this codes so only transitions or otwherwise modified parts needs rendering, so it is much faster then any other. I found that "DV Video Encoder" is best for me for these reasons Settings (DVD format, Custom 7000 kBits/sec, MPEG audio, Create disk content but don't burn)Ĭodec that I use to create AVI file to prepare for another MPEG coder FireWire card from old Pinnacle's Studio DV AMD Athlon processor, VIA based motherboard, 3 Maxtor NTFS HDs PowerDVD, Nero, RecordNowDX installed too (nothing else) Windows XP Home SP1 with all latest updates from (no other "latest" drivers) Links to good sites that can help you with PS8 Pinnacle Studio 8 and SmartRender of mpeg2 file Now when you use MPEG2 file as source it will re-encode only edited parts. New function SmartRender for mpeg2 files was introdused since version (I believe) 8.8. Current version that I use is 8.3.18.0 ( 83180 or Studio8 for search ) I use it for my home video that is captured by Sony DCR-TRV11 (Mini DV). Capture, Edit, Author and (next part is with some problems for my Sony DRU-500A) Burn. I think that this sofware is good for begginers because it is easy to use and can do all steps necessary to create DVD. I decided to create this post to share experience (not hate) with Pinnacle Studio version 8 that might help some people.
