Re: Blu-Ray to DVD File Sizes

Before you go any further: bigger bitrate does NOT equal better quality. There are many other factors involved. Sure, there are programs that always fill DVD, they simply pad the file. True, the VSO software produces quite a good result despite the lower file size and lower average bitrate. I still...

Blu-Ray to DVD File Sizes

Hi, I've just done my first conversion of Blu-Ray to DVD and the resulting DVD file size is smaller than I expected. Converted the main movie only (1h 40min, 25gb ) to DVD9 and it came out as 1.8gb with a average video bitrate of 2.3Mbps. Is this normal or do I need to change some settings? Thanks.
