Short Media gives us the finale in their long series of how to rip DVD movies.
Quote from the article at Short-Media:
“Digital Video Discs are, of course, DVDs. To you lucky few (but growing number) who have a burner, this guide will also cover the creation of a DVD from a DiVX©/XViD source. Principally, the methods of creating DVDs or SVCDs are identical: simply change the bitrate of the audio and video, as well as the resolution. Using most DiVX©/XViD sources, people will typically get images that are close to, but not quite, DVD quality. The bitrate of a normal DVD is usual approximate to 10,000 kbits, whereas an SVCD runs in the 2500 range. While this may seem a large, disparaging difference between the two formats, it actually is a small one. SVCDs will exhibit some picture-blocking and colorbanding in high-activity scenes, but it’s usually unnoticeable. The resolution of the movie itself is far more deterministic in regards to the picture quality. The difference between both format boils down to convenience.”
