Ok I have a copy of Adobe Premier Pro. Also Nero CD burning software

I have made two videos that I want to copy to a disk for purposes of playing on TV.

I have saved the file as .avi's and when I play them on the computer for the most part the resolution is really good (one problem is that there is a section where the action stops and the sound continues. Then the action starts again but I miss about 20 sec of video).

However, when I tried to save them as a Super Video CD (which took about an hour to burn) the resolution on the CD, when played is useless. I know Nate taught me about compression but I cannot find the software that does compression.

So the question is, how to burn a video that as good a quality of the original on a CD. - Note, I have a DVD burner on the desktop but I do not have the software on the desktop at this point. I'm currently using a laptop for this project. Would a DVD be better?

 

VCDs use a compression standard called MPEG to store the video and audio not AVI. The quality of a very good VCD is about the same as a VHS tape based movie but VCD is usually a bit more blurry.

The quality of a SVCD is much better than a VCD, especially much more sharpen picture than a VCD because of the higher resolution. But the quality depends how many minutes you choose to store on a CD, less minutes/CD generally means higher quality.

I would recommend burning a DVD, the quality is always better and same with the sound. Much easyer to burn and not as many steps are involved.

Here is a website to give you all the info you need.

 

So let me ask this.

If I was to burn a SVCD from the .pprt file, as oppossed to the .avi file, would things be better?

 

you im not sure, all the VCDs that i have burned were with a special program that does all the b1tch work for me.... but never really turned out very good. So i just started using a DVD burner.

the movie file "SHOULD" (not always) be an MPEG to be properly burned... there are AVI to MPEG converters out there too.
