WMV Conversion Question

[pat]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hi,

A musician friend was given a concert video someone made of his group and
created a CD. I have no idea of how it got in its present format, but it
plays with Microsoft Media Player with no problems. Here is a summary:

(a) Windows Media File: Extension: (WMV)

(b) One A/V file: 405,372,682 bytes in size

(c) Audio bit rate: 1435kbps, 16 bit, 2 channel, 44kHz

(d) Video bit rate: 739kbps, 24 bit, Stream name: video 2

(e) Video Resolution: 640 x 480

(f) Video Frame rate: 30FPS (not 29.97fps)

(g) Video Length: 62 minutes, 47 seconds


QUESTIONS:

(1) Is the 640x480x24 at 30fps a non standard format?

(2) I am in the process of converting the above to a DVD using TMPGEnc Pro
with a 720x480x24 at 29.97fps MPG file and the WAV file being converted to
48kHz with 29.97 rate. I hope to take the WAV file, created by TMPGEnc and
post process it using Cool Edit Pro. Then, author the Audio and Video into a
DVD.

Is the above an accepted conversion methodology, or have I missed something?

(3) Any other tips?

No. It is the Microsoft's Windows Media Video format

Should work, maybe, if TMPGEnc accepts WMV, some of their encoders do and
some don't. If not you may have to get something else to convert it.

No other tips at this time.

The audio bit rate seems very high, I use 192kbps for TV
and 256 for musicals. Your video bit rate at 739kbps would
be low at 9 bit. 24 bit video? I haven't looked into WMV to
any extent, maybe I should.

Looks very much like the PCM bitrate.
