What is the maximum bit rate for a short NTSC standard def DVD?

I have about 30 minutes of content from FCP that I want to put on a DVD.
At first I tried iDVD and had problems with burning (although I did somehow make one DVD). So I built the project on DVD SP and made a DVD. However, the iDVD version looked much better. I checked out the file sizes and saw that there was 2 gigs on iDVD and only 1.6 DVD SP. Then I discovered the encoding options on DVD SP and I was curious what is the recommended average and maximum bit rate should be for the highest quality, yet still works in most DVD players?
Thanks.

The rate is not based on running time.
Some thoughts on rates
7.2 - 8.0 seems to be the general consensus for discs from computers. I play more conservative for the reasson listed in that link

  • Maximum bit rate for video

    I am using Handbrake to convert some video for use on my iPod. Their FAQ alleges that with the advent of iTunes v7.4 the iPod can handle an average bit rate of 2500 kbps. However, I find that the video intermittently pauses briefly on playback if I encode at that rate. Does anyone know the maximum bit rate that the iPod can handle?

    Changes to iTunes will have no effect on what the iPod can handle. Different software and hardware.
    Which iPod are we talking about? The original 5th generation iPod or the second versions (aka "5.5" gen)?

  • What is the best scrubbing rate for youtube?

    what is the best scrubbing rate for youtube?

    Ummm... can you elaborate? why do you think a 1-pass would be better? Before i go through another 5 - 6 hours of compression, I would like to understand a little bit better... 2 0r 3 word answers aren't going to help me at all. Sorry.
    Lisa <
    You have about three thousand pages of manuals, why do you think we can shrink that information down? Compression is really difficult to understand and to control. There are dozens of Web sites you can explore or you could look at amazon.com and buy yourself some training systems. If you are going to be doing a lot of compression and encoding, you will learn it the same way everyone else does, slowly. It's often easier and faster and therefore cheaper to pay a service to do your encoding. Spend a few hours reading the Compressor forum.
    Consider that you don't need to waste mjuch time rendering entire projects. Just assemble a short collection of problem scenes and use different settings till you get something you like. To confuse things even further, encoding results are totally subjective and a terrible compromise. You give up image quality to save time encoding or to gain program length. Youinvest tons of set up and encoding time to gain control the image quality. And you must process the audio separately to get the best use of your delivery media's capacity.

  • DPS(pdf): What is the maximum zoom-factor for the iPad

    Hi,
    What is the maximum zoom-factor for the iPad?
    Regards,
    Anil Yadav

    I'm sorry -- I have not communicated my question well.   When I use full
    page mode (no window borders, Ctrl-L) and zoom to many thousands %, then
    entire screen (14000 pixels by 1200 pixels) is not used -- only about 9000
    pixels x 1200 pixels.   The entire screen should have document content
    because I'm extremely zoomed in.  There is no meaning to pixels/inch in
    this context (and I tried your suggestion -- it made no difference).   This
    seems to be a hard limitation of Adobe Reader X screen display...?
    Thanks,

  • 6230i - What's the maximum attachment size for EMa...

    Hi
    I got my new 6230i (Firmware 3.40 on T-Mobile) yesterday and have just set up my email on it and discovered that you can attach files to emails. Only problem seems to be that it says my attachments exceed the limit. That's a bit unfortunate as I've tried to attach only one image (~350kB) which I took with the built in camera.
    Anyone know what the maximum size allowed for an attachment is and is there a way around it?
    Thanks
    Thomas

    We are talking about 6230i (and not 6630).
    In 6230i case, the max. size is limited:
    Sending: 100kB
    Receiving: 50kB
    This is limited by the phone (and not network or email provider).Message Edited by embedded_system on 19-May-2006

  • What's the maximum memory ram for Macbook Pro?

    Hello,
    May I know what's the maximum memory ram capacity for Macbook Pro?
    I am having Macbook Pro - 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Thank you!
    Alvin

    Hate to resurrect a dead horse but....I was looking in the instructions for memory upgrades and the instructions specified that the computer will only recognize 3 gigs. Will that still be in effect if I upgrade to Snow Leopard when it becomes available? Or do I need to save my pennies for a Mac Pro? What I am getting at is: is the reason for the RAM cap due to software issues, 64 bit not being native, different version of leopard used on notebooks, or is it due to hardware issues.

  • What is the maximum file size for Pages?

    Hi,
    What is the maximum number of pages and maximum file size that I can have for Pages document?
    Thank you.

    chessmagnet,
    As a practicality in a large document it pays to break it up into sections in different documents with the numbering carrying on from the last one.
    Assemble the final document at the end when you need to create a T.O.C. and any hyperlinks.
    Several users have reported being unable to save very large files and other problems.
    It is a good safety measure anyway and as Yvan says it will work faster.

  • What is the maximum size limit for a KM document to be uploaded?

    Hi,
    1.  I have a requirement, wherein the user wants to upload a document which is more than 448MB in KM.
    I am not sure what is the maximum limit that standard SAP provides by default, which I can advice the user at the first place.
    2. what if we want to increase the max limit of the size?Where do we do that, can you suggest me the path for the same?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    CM Repository in DB Mode:
    If there is a large number of write requests in your CM usage scenario, set up the CM repository in database mode. Since all documents are stored in the database, this avoids unintentional
    external manipulation of the data.
    CM Repository in FSDB Mode:
    In this mode, the file system is predominant. If files are removed from or added to the file system, the database is updated automatically.
    If you mainly have read requests, choose a mode in which content is stored in the file system. If this is the case, make sure that access to the relevant part of the file system is denied or
    restricted to other applications.
    What is the maximum size of the document that we can upload in a CM (DB) and CM (FSDB) without compromising the performance ?
    There are the following restrictions for the databases used:
    ·  Maximum number of resources (folders, documents) in a repository instance
       FSDB: No restriction (possibly limited by file system restrictions)
       DBFS and DB: 2,147,483,648
    ·  Maximum size of an individual resource:
       FSDB: No restriction (possibly limited by file system restrictions)
       DBFS: 8 exabytes (MS SQL Server 2000), 2 GB (Oracle)
       DB: 2 GB
    Maximum length of large property values (string type):2,147,583,647 byte
    What is the impact on the performance of Knowledge Management Platform and on Portal Platform when there are large number of documents that are in sizes somewhere from 100 MB to 500 MB or more.
    The performance of the KM and Portal platform is dependent on the type of activity the user is trying to perform. That is a heavy number of retrievals of the large documents stored in the repository for
    read/write mode decreases the performance of the patform. Searching and indexing in the documents will also take a propertionate amount of time.
    For details, please refer to,
    http://help.sap.com, Goto "KM Platform" and then,
    Knowledge Management Platform   > Administration Guide
    System Administration   > System Configuration
    Content Management Configuration   > Repositories and Repository
    Managers    > Internal Repositories   > CM Repository Manager
    Technically speaking the VM has a restriction according to plattform.  W2k is somewhere around 1,2G and Solaris, I believe, 4G.
    Say for instance I was on a W2k box I allotted 500+ for my J2EE Engine that would leave me with the possiblity to upload close to 600mb documents max.
    See if the attached documents (610134, 634689, 552522) can provide you some guidance for setting your VM to meet your needs.

  • What's the maximum internal space for Mid 2010 MacBook Pro

    Ok guys I'm about to upgrade my internal drive on my MacBook Pro and would like to know what is the maximum space to put in. I'm also gong to replace optibay a 128GB SSD. Is any 1TB 2.5" good?

    I suggest that you install the SSD in the same place as your current HDD.  Install the 1 TB drive  in the DVD drive location.
    I have HGST 1 TB drives, both 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm.  Both work satisfactorily.
    Ciao.
    I also have the HGST 1.5 TB HDDs but they are only available in 5400 rpm versions.

  • The best Bit rate for a 1 hour film

    Hi all
    Just a quick question does anyone know the best bit rate to use to compress a 1 hour film. I want the best quality possible
    Any advice would be gratfully recieved
    Thanks

    If you're using Compressor and it's a one hour encode then use the CBR setting with a bit rate of 6 or 6.5. Also encode your audio to the industry standard .ac3 file format. The combination of audio and video bitrate is always a compromise between quality and having consumer DVD players stalling or choking because the combined birate is too high.
    However, the media content you're encoding will always determine how you should encode: video with lots of fast action needs the VBR setting, whereas the CBR setting can be used when there is little action. But generally, the CBR setting in Compressor will do an okay job with project durations of one hour or less, regardless of the action in your video.
    Hope this helps.
