Until then, I'm offering my own, for whatever it's worth: Still hoping someone can point me to a good info sheet on the settings. So still haven't found answer to why the video is not as clear as when it started. I tried the advice to "set video to Copy," but Copy changes by itself to DVD (lavc) when setting some of the other configurations I mentioned earlier. Or might there already be a tutorial for what I'm trying to do that you can point me to? In Calculator, set Format to MPEG, and Medium to DVD5. In Auto > DVD, set Source and Output Aspect ratios to 4:3. In Edit > Preferences > Output, set "Split MPEG files over (MB)" to 4600.

Under Filters (left side), choose "Resample fps" and look for 29.97. Under Video (left side), choose DVD (lavc). I made a simple setup sheet, which I test your patience to condense here: All I want to do is remove commercials and then burn the cleaned up file. But there are too many for a simpleton like me. However, if I first edit out the commercials with Avidemux and then burn the resulting mpg file, the video looks blurry.Īvidemux is a wonderful program for experts who can take advantage of all its features. If I burn the mpg file to a DVD blank, the video looks fine. A 1-hour program results in a 2GB mpg file. I have no problem transferring them to the computer. My daughter's Tivo was used to record some great programs on the History Channel (Modern Marvels, especially).
