NTSC DVD is 720x480, aspect ratio either 4:3 or 16:9
(non-square
pixels), at 29.97 frames per second interlaced (so it's 59.94 fields per
second).
If it's progressive (non-interlaced) then the frame rate is 23.97 fps
with 2:3 pulldown.
AVS lets me set the video width & height, so I'm okay there. Alas, I
can't set fractional frame rates, so 30 FPS is what I start with.
Audio output is a 48 kHz WAV, what considerations do I have where that's
concerned ?
Thanks for the tip re: HCenc. I opened the GUI under WINE without
troubles, but I haven't tried using it. I'll try it after teaching tonight.
My current method of Kino-to-DVDStyler works, but the resulting video is
not good, definitely nowhere near as good as the original AVI. I'll be
investigating ways to improve the quality. I take it that expensive
higher-quality encoders are out there ?
Best,
