DVD Overburning

I don't understand as to why people actually place VBR audio on movies or video of any kind since it's mix is in CBR, or is it just me? :eyebrow: You're gonna have to extract the audio and save it as .wav and compress it again.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Concerning the AVI problem: AVI and even the new OpenDML AVI format don't have support for (any?) VBR material and the only way to integrate the material into the AVI is using a very dirty hack (which can cause trouble and VDub tells you so). AVI is outdated, most of the recent features aren't supported natively and some video codecs like h264 can only be integrated in a VERY limited form.
The mp4 container support is quite large on standalones, you should try remuxing the movie into a mp4 - also resulting in fewer overhead, ergo smaller filesize of the movies. If you want even fewer overhead, then try matroska.

I just find it kind of a waste seeing as how movie studios apply a audio mix for DVD release or what have you and then select to use VBR when the original mix is CBR. But that's just my opinion, I don't bother altering the audio when I encode DVDs to h.264. For the majority of movies out there, the DD5.1 track is always 448 all the way through.
