Re: importing widescreen dvd properly

All I know is that the ability of various transcoders is all over the dial.

I know that I could master a BD from the VOB files and consolidate a season to one BD50 disk

The goal is to feed iTunes so my Apple TV box an play it on demand

importing widescreen dvd properly

most old tv shows are 4:3 but some are 16:9

720x480 is most common for dvd video but widescreen is 852x480

I know that MP4 is my favorite container but I was worried about audio track selection and more

Re: VLC 3.0.15 update not working

What GPU drivers are you guys running?

I have a Nvdia GT 710 on Windows 10 21.H1 running the latest Nvidia drivers and VLC 3.0.15 runs fine for me.

Only issue I noticed was no auto update from 3.0.14 to 3.0.15.
The GT 710 has been popular for media playback

Re: Adding SRT file to MP3

MP3 is an audio format, subtitles will be in the MP4 file

Make sure there is some video in the MP4 file

Re: Video File Conversion MKV to MP4

I made several presets for conversion for various needs and one i use the most just converts containers and retains video and audio as is

VLC can handle that case real fast and efficiently
