Convert mp4 to VOB (DVD-Video) while maintaining the properties of the source fi

Hello. To rip the video material from the VHS cassette I used the usb video grabber and the AmaRecTV program. With it and using the Lagarith Lossless Video Codec codec I downloaded the entire non-interlaced program with the AVI extension. Then I converted all the material with VidCoder, I set the image size to 960x720, the number of frames per second to 60, and also deinterlaced by the Yadif - Bob method. This solution gives me more or less the quality and smooth motion of the film as if it were played from vhs. I would like to record this material on a DVD-Video disc to be able to play this movie on a desktop DVD player. My question is as follows: How to burn to DVD or convert this material to VOB without reducing the frame rate? I would like the VOB (DVD-Video) file to keep such parameters as the source file, but unfortunately all the programs I used offer the option of recording it with 25 frames (DVD PAL) or 29.97 (DVD NTSC). Please help.

You combine like a horse upstairs. Do you do upsampling of SD material in addition from VHS, transform interlacing into progressive frames and then want to adapt it again to the format that supports interlacing? No sorry, but this is not the way.

Rewrite the material again in 720x576 resolution as the source quality is correct, or 352x576 as it is poor. Both of the above-mentioned resolutions are standard for DVD-Video PAL. Encode it to MPEG-2 (TFF interlace mode enabled) and burn the resulting VOB / IFO files to DVD. Everything.

Set the number of frames to 50? What program do you recommend to encode the ripped material with interlace TFF mode and to record the resulting Vob / info files on dvd? VidCoder converts to MP4 from mpeg2 but does not encode directly to VOB.

You always play 25fps, with interlaced material there are two image fields for every 1 frame.

I used to use either TmpgEnc or Pegasys Authoring Works a long time ago. TmpgEnc generated only a raw mpg file that had to be further subjected to authoring, e.g. with Nero Burning Rom and burned to DVD. In turn, Authoring Works did everything, i.e. compression / authoring and burning DVDs. However, both were commercial applications.

How MPEG-2 compression works in Handbrake / Vidcoder, I don't know, because I've never been interested.

I use Vidcoder for encoding in h.264. The x.264 library that is the basis of Handbrake / Vidcoder does not support typical interlacing, only MBAFF mode, let's say close to interlacing. In this way, you can easily and correctly make an MP4 or MKV file that maintains the smoothness of interlaced and playable material from, for example, a stick connected to any modern TV.

If you are interested in making a VHS rip in the form of an mp4 / mkv file, I can write what and how to set in vidcoder. I can't help with encoding to MPEG-2 with the same program.

I would like to ask for information about the vhs rip to mp4 / mkv and settings in Vidcoder.

To start with, prepare the source file correctly downloaded from the VHS tape. Recommended rip settings are 720x576px / 25fps interlaced (so-called 50i). Codec to rip any lossless interlaced e.g. HuffYUV / Lagarith in color space preferably YUV422



now VidCoder settings (version 1.5.35.0, newer have a pixelated setting of pixel aspect ratio)

After encoding we receive the file as in the attachment

Check it for yourself and what it looks like on a TV, it plays correctly on your computer in any player that supports interlacing, e.g. Media Player Classic / MPC-HC

If you have questions about the proposed settings, write.

I hope I helped.

I am only replying now because I was busy preparing to defend my thesis. Thank you very much for the advice, I do as you wrote, but unfortunately there is still something wrong. Your file is very well recorded, I found a program that converts directly to Vob while maintaining the properties of the source file - XMedia Recode. Using your file and it came out the way I wanted. However, with my recordings no longer. Do you know any programs that are an alternative to the one I am currently using (AmaRec TV)?

If you have problems despite the encoder configuration such as on the screenshots sent, it means that the source file has been recorded incorrectly!

I use the classic - VirtualDub for ripping. But my Hauppauge HVR-2200 framegrabber has a directshow interface. Many modern FG cards do not have a directshow interface, and thus do not work with VirtualDub. It all depends on the creativity of the programmer preparing the driver for your card.

In any case, as I wrote, ripping in 720x576 resolution at 25fps, YUV422 or ew 420 color space, lumina range 16-235, field order - TFF for PAL and BFF for NTSC. Compression is best lossless HuffYUV, Lagarith or lossy MJPG or DV (both from e.g. free ffdshow / ffdVfW).

If this helps you, I can provide you with a few seconds sample of the file on which you can perform tests and comparisons.

Yes, I ask for this file. I apologize for the slight departure from the topic. In what year was the recording you sent me and where was it?

Less than 20s and over 100MB
