<p>When you launch Devede, it will show you this window, asking what kind of disk you want to create.
|
|
You can choose between:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Video DVD: a classic video DVD, like the ones you rent in your videoclub or buy in your video shop.</li>
|
|
<li>VideoCD: a CD with CBR MPEG-1 video at a resolution of 352x240 pixels (352x288 with PAL), a fixed bitrate
|
|
of 1152 kbits/second for video and 224 kbits/second for audio. The quality is comparable to analog VHS,
|
|
and a CD can contain as much compressed audio/video than uncompressed audio (this is, a 80-minutes CD
|
|
can contain about 80 minutes of compressed video/audio). Is compatible with all DVD players, but video
|
|
quality is medium-bad.</li>
|
|
<li>Super VideoCD: a CD with VBR MPEG-2 video at a resolution of 480x480 pixels (480x576 with PAL) and
|
|
video bitrates between 500 and 2600 kbits/second. The quality is comparable to LaserDisc, and a 80-minutes CD
|
|
can contain about 60 minutes con compressed video/audio (more if you reduce the bitrate, but with less
|
|
quality). Is compatible with a lot of DVD players, but maybe there is one very cheap which doesn't support it.
|
|
Video quality is good.</li>
|
|
<li>CVD (China Video Disk): identical to Super VideoCD, but with a resolution of 352x480 pixels (352x576
|
|
with PAL). Offers less artifacts with same bitrate, but image is a bit less sharper than Super VideoCD. Is
|
|
compatible with a lot of DVD players, but maybe there is one very cheap which doesn't support it.</li>
|
|
<li>DIVX/MPEG4: creates DIVX files, ready to be played in DIVX-compliant players.</li>
|
|
<li>Matroska/H.264: creates matroska files with the H.264 codec, useful for HD content.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Of course you aren't limited to theses options, since you can choose, if you want, another resolution
|
|
for your CD/DVD. This allows you to create Super VideoCDs with a resolution of 352x240 (or 352x288 for PAL),
|
|
which is a very good compromise if you want to store a lot of video in a single CD. I don't recomend to use
|
|
other resolutions with VideoCDs, because CBR MPEG-1 is very limited. Choose the Super VideoCD or CVD option
|
|
(which uses VBR MPEG-2) and use there the resolution you want.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the upper picture, the VideoCD, SuperVideoCD and China Video Disc are disabled. This is because the system
|
|
lacks some program needed to do it. To know which ones you need but haven't installed, just click the <b>Programs
|
|
needed by Devede</b> button.</p>
