There's a lot to know about video/audio conversion. If you have deep pockets, there are some amazing products
that produce very good quality video and audio. There are free programs and programs that cost thousands of dollars. My question is... What level of quality are you looking for, and how much money and time are you willing to spend to achieve this.
i use usenet and can get just about any of the programs out there i was something simple to use Basic encodeing to DVD and sooneer than later to Blue-ray
Cinema Craft Encoder is the best software encoder I know of. There is a learning curve however. Main Concept, Canopus Pro Coder are also very good. You will need to learn how to author dvds and what programs to use, as these programs don't do that. I also use AVI2DVD
to transcode xvid or avi audio (typically pcm audio) to Dvd compliant
AC3.
Also does anyone know if i should just get a SATA DVD Writer or keep the IDE one i have in there now? and if that can cause probloms would an adapter solve the problom?
