Toast burn to dvd without reencoding1/6/2024 ![]() We now set the value with MP4Box:Īnd that's it. ![]() However, some systems choke on this 64/45 ratio, so I use 142:100. Ideally, we would like a ratio of (16/9) / (4/3) x 16/15 ~ 1.422 (or 64/45), that is changing the pixel ratio so that the former 4:3 image now has a 16:9 ratio. c copy to copy the inner streams (audio and video) without modification. map:a 0 means to keep all the audio streams. If you are encoding MPEG2 for DVD delivery, make sure you create a custom preset with Field Dominance set to Bottom Firstotherwise your DVDs will be. First, we transfer the streams into an MPEG 4 container:Īvconv -i res.vob -map:a 0 -f mp4 -c copy res.mp4 However, there's an alternative: use an MPEG 4 system stream, and put the pixel ratio there (in the container), and thus there is no need to reencode the video stream. There's an alternative, which is changing the PAR, however, as far as I know, this can't be done in the MPEG v2 multiplex without intervening on the video stream. Select Autosize: DVD 16:9 in Video segment tab. mpg file to ffmpegX window with summary segment tab selected. Ideally, we would like to set the DAR (Display Aspect Ratio) to 16:9, however I don't know how to do that without intervening on the video stream, that is reencoding. I want to crop to anamorphic proportions to burn as a 16X9 DVD. This is an application of the axiom of digital media: "If you can read it, you can copy it".ĭVD format (PAL) is 720x576, with a PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) of 16:15, for reasons I don't understand, so most of the time, you'll get a 4:3 format. Option-delete removes artwork from selected songs in a playlist. Option-drag adds artwork to all songs in a playlist. DVD Music Album Improvements (only available with Toast with Jam 6): Drag/drop support from web browsers (Safari, IE, Camino) when adding album artwork. The resulting file res.vob is an MPEG multiplex v2. Custom Hybrid CD burning from a Toast temporary partition now works correctly. In my case, the dvd isn't on /dev/dvd but /dev/sr0, hence the string. $ mplayer -dumpstream dvd://5//dev/sr0 -dumpfile res.vobĥ is the title's number, you'll have to figure it (try 1, 2, 3, etc. Ive also tested quite a few video file formats, and Toast 8 can burn most to DVD or VCD. If vobcopy / dvdbackup breaks, here's what you can do: But still, for everything else Toast 8 does, these are small things. However, some local little known productions that certainly everyone wanting to see is ready to purchase, I had most trouble (and regrets) after having purchased them to be able to view them at home.Įnough politics. And by the way, my experience is that the tiniest the expected audience, the more absurd the copy protection scheme: I was able to transfer The Avengers (8€ on Amazon) or The Big Bang Theory (25 €/season) without trouble. Not all of them, though, so from time to time, I need to type a few commands in order to be able to read on my mediaplayer the dvds I legally purchased, but that some bozo hasn't thought her pathetic attempt would prevent it when selecting a structural copy protection scheme. Many editors now understand that tampering with the DVD working to prevent copy is not only useless, but counter-productive.
