Re: FN-FORUM: FW: Flash to DVD continued

aspect ratio - stick to 4:3 to ensure maximum compatibility, decent DVD
players/tv's will 'widen' the ratio where needed, the important bit is
making your movie at 720x576.
Framerate - PAL systems run at 25fps, for best results stick to that,
you wont really see any benefits at higher frame rates, lower will
obviously be jerky.
Compression - as little as you can get away with! to be fair, you
shouldn't really need much more than 4000kbps for decent quality video,
animation will be lower still, probably around the 500kbps mark
dependent on the complexity of the stuff on screen.
Audio - I'm assuming you're including audio! depending on how long your
clip is, go for the highest you can. 192kbps is CD quality, 160kbps is
a good compromise and will probably sound OK on home TV's, 128kbps is
passable but will clip both treble and bass, which isnt good on a decent
hi-fi system at high volume, the audio ends up sounding muffled

Make sure the DVD playes the disc will be used on support SVCD or VCD if
you're only using CD's, otherwise they wont play your disc!

hope that helps!
