Making A DVD Version Of The Trailers

[Jedi Master Matt]

Ok gang, who here has any advice about creating a DVD version of both trailers?

I use to know how to make QT to SVCD; but, that was back in the AotC days and I've forgotten what to do.

I'd like to start with the QT versions; but, the HDTV version is tempting to mess with.

Any advice?

not sure if this is the proper place...

anyway, I have a solution for Mac: open Toast, choose DVD, drag your movie file onto Toast, click Burn, there you go.

I would wait for the higher res official trailer, the HDTV has a different aspec ratio and less image on each side.

What I'd probably do is convert the original file to uncompressed RGB video. Then resize, add black bars, and/or make whatever other adjustments, then encode to mpeg2, then author to dvd. The how's and why's are far too many to explain here, so use those links posted above.

"Soerenson squeeze" is also a good program to convert files, but if you are converting to DVD format (vob) you should dl "Canopus Procoder" it can convert just about anything into what you want.

here`s a link to a procoder torrent: http://torrentspy.com/search.asp?mode=t ... s&id=24105

heres how i did mine, i took the quicktime 640x360 size version of the trailer i found online (which is 37mb compared to 31 mb for the hyperspace large 480x206 version)

i then used roxio cd/dvd creator 7 to make a dvd out of it. it only came out to about a 168mb worth of files (the vob, bup, and ifo types) when put to the dvd, kind of a waste when the blank disc i used can hold up to 4.7 gb of data.

anyway, it plays just fine in my onkyo player and the quality is is just as good as if i was watching it shown on any regular TV channel.

tmpgenc - that's the one I used in the past. Thanks man.

As far as waiting until I get the high rez official site one, fuck it. I have a couple hundred blank DVD-Rs, so using one now and one in a couple of weeks is no big deal.

What I may want to do is wait until next week when I can get my hands on the Clone Wars DVD and pull the teaser trailer off of it. Hmmm... the choices one must make.

I have the 50mb HDTV .avi rip of it, and Toast doesn't seem to like .avis too much...any advice on converting and/or other programs that will burn one to VCD or DVD?

You can use Adobe Premiere Pro to convert from .avi to .mov or .mpeg
