    Possible to get higher quality dvd fit than auto transcoding?

    avpromedia Community Member

      After I drop a dynamic link sequence (2 hours long) into encore, I let it use the automatic transcoding to fill up the entire 4.7GB DVD5.

       

      Is the the best encoding I can get? Any idea how automatic transcoding choose the transcoding setting? What if I manually select the 2 pass VBR, build the dvd into a folder (and exceeds 4.7GB), and then use dvd shrink to shrink the dvd folder to fit on 4.7GB, would this results in better quality (in theory)? Last time I tried it seems to improve the quality in some segment, and lowers quality in other.

       

      My favorite DVD writeable is taiyo yuden watershield (glossy hub printable). Unfortunately they don't make 8.5GB version which would make transcoding quality a lesser concern.
