O size of output will be no larger than whatever is set here Ğnsure “Split MPEG files ever (MB)” set to default of 4096.Set "Destination Aspect Ratio" to 4:3 or 16:9.O If captured from TV, aspect ratio usually 4:3. O If input video originally intended for playback on computer, aspect ratio usually 1:1. set "Source Aspect Ratio" according to input video.If want to append additional segments to your video, use File -> Append for each file.If asked for "special" mode to process file (as with H.264 videos), choose "Yes".If asked if want MPEG file to be indexed, choose "Yes.".Run GTK version (not QT4) for easier editing.Ĭhoose File > Open select video to put on DVD. (to edit MPG files, especially when removing commercials) Until then, I'm offering my own, for whatever it's worth: Still hoping someone can point me to a good info sheet on the settings. So still haven't found answer to why the video is not as clear as when it started. I tried the advice to "set video to Copy," but Copy changes by itself to DVD (lavc) when setting some of the other configurations I mentioned earlier. Or might there already be a tutorial for what I'm trying to do that you can point me to? In Calculator, set Format to MPEG, and Medium to DVD5. In Auto > DVD, set Source and Output Aspect ratios to 4:3. In Edit > Preferences > Output, set "Split MPEG files over (MB)" to 4600. Under Filters (left side), choose "Resample fps" and look for 29.97. Under Video (left side), choose DVD (lavc). I made a simple setup sheet, which I test your patience to condense here: All I want to do is remove commercials and then burn the cleaned up file. But there are too many for a simpleton like me. However, if I first edit out the commercials with Avidemux and then burn the resulting mpg file, the video looks blurry.Īvidemux is a wonderful program for experts who can take advantage of all its features.

If I burn the mpg file to a DVD blank, the video looks fine. A 1-hour program results in a 2GB mpg file. I have no problem transferring them to the computer. My daughter's Tivo was used to record some great programs on the History Channel (Modern Marvels, especially).
