Output Quality
Now, since we have finished we want to also take a look at the quality of the created discs. Let us start with the regular DVD-Video disc.
DVD-Video:
The quality of the resulting video is good. There are no noticeable differences compared to other video editing applications, such as Pinnacle Studio. Same goes for the playback compatibility on standalone DVD-player, PlayStation 2 and other PC’s with software DVD-players.
Video CD:
Regarding VCD, we can say that we found the output quality as good as for VCDs, which are created with other applications. The playback on other PCs and compatible standalone DVD-player was ok as well.
Super Video CD:
The picture quality on created SVCDs is probably the most negative point we can add. It is our opinion the worst quality we have seen so far. We noticed much more pixels than we have seen on VCD, especially during quick action. The menu works ok and the compatibility to other playback devices is also good.
DivX CD:
Regarding the quality is nothing to say. It’s the well-known DivX standard.
DVD+VR:
The resulting editable DVD showed good results in picture quality and played without any problems in a standalone DVD-player. A negative here though is a strange rattling sound when we jumped between menu pages on a disc which was edited.
DVD-VR:
DVD-VR showed us a good picture quality but very poor sound quality when playing back the disc content.

, as when I burnt a DVD it halves the horizontal resolution from 720 to about 360, making ikky vertical blind effect. I tried twice - once from image file, once from DVD folder. :r :S Using the so-called good quality setting, as the high quality needed about 6 GB. The good was about 3 Gigglebytes :+ which is the original file size. Using Nero, I finally burnt an image file made by Flick DVD, and perfect original quality at least, if no nice menus or chapters. :c Disgusting waste of so much time desining the beautiful menu with 3 different backgrounds.
