| Uhh.. to save DVDs and because I don't really care THAT much about quality (if I want quality, I would buy the DVDs... if the anime sucks well.. I wouldn't care to have some HQ video file of it and it would be unlikely I would watch it again anyway) I reencode all my files to RMVBs. So yeah.. I can fit like 70 or 80 episodes if I wanted to. |
| You re-encode to RMVB?! Ahhhhhh, ahhhhhhhh. *vomits* lol. I put however many fit from the group I downloaded. Usually it's anywhere from 20-24 on one DVD. |
| Each episode is roughly 140-180Mb. So, 160Mb (average) times 22 episodes (average) gives us 3520Mb. A DVD holds 4.4Gb (4400Mb). Make sense how it works now? |
| the files i recode in nero end up bein like 600mbs mayb thats why you cant fit that many. i really hate nero to keep the subtitles i have to change it to bunr the video 16:9 and then use zoom on my dvd player its very annoying |
| Everything that I watch... I need a bigger HDD. *starts looking at Hitachi's new 1TB drive* |

| oh well...i always try to download the version with hightest quality so...normally its always 24-26 episodes on a single dvd but there are some exeptions (raxhephon / evangelion platinuin takes 3 dvds and 1 cd ) eureka seven was dvdrip and end up on 3 dvds.....mahou negima sensei isn't burned yet but the first 26 episodes are arround 6gbs so i still don't know how i'm gonna burn that XD well...i always try to burn dvds with 4.39 but some fansubers don't think much and just do the crappiest version of animes... And btw rmvb ? whats that ? uh...i think i downloaded a fake game in that format XDD ( and the only episode i saw on a page on that format was 40mbs so i though "uh..40mbs = the worse quality = youtube (no thx)" |

| Oh, now I understood what Kanashimi was saying. You make it into a DVD format. Haha, I just burn my stuff onto a blank DVD as data. Rmvb is another container like avi, mkv and stuff. It utilizes another codec.. which I don't remember what. Real thingyblabla. Size of a file isn't a good indication of quality by the way. Though a 40 MB rmvb is pretty shitty. I wouldn't call it YouTube quality though. YouTube, from my opinion is too bad even for me because the subs are illegible (and so is everything else). A 30~40 mb rmvb would be extremely blurred and blocky in action scenes especially, and the subs would be blurred a slight bit but still legible. |
| I think making regular DVDs is really user-unfriendly.. first of all .. you make 3-4 series to a DVD and second .. this way it uses MPEG2 which is around 10 years old (!?) If you'd like even better quality.. re-encoding in x264 for example, using a sharpner, ETC.. is a better way to go.. and the size is times lower.. a high bitrate episode (~22 mins) around 1800 for example at 23.976 FPS should be around ~340 MB.. so filling disks with these would be using less space, no ? |

Yeah, MPEG2 is kind of old, but then you still can't play H264 video on most DVD players which kinda sucks unless you have a lot of $$. I know that there was somewhere a guide which allowed you to put up to 6 half an hour episodes on one DVD. Also, when it comes to bitrate with 1000kbps in x264 you will achieve awesome quality, there will be very little loss of detail. I don't usually put my anime on DVDs, but I should start soon. And even if I want to watch it on my TV I just hook up my laptop and I'm ready to go... |

| I use my monitor as an "output device" in this case ;) |
| At first I could put in 24 eps. But now the quality I download is a bit better so I can only put 19 episodes in a DVD. |
| I use Nero and usually I put around to 3 episodes in a DVD. I care about quality, too or else I wouldn't even bother to download them. |
     ~Do you think that I smile because everything's alright?~ |
| Oh man...I feel like I'm back in the stone age. lol I don't even have a DVD-R. :) |
     |
| That is pretty stone ageish. Upgrade, it's only $45 or so. |
| It depends on size but i generally put the whole series on DVD. I hate it when I can put all but one episode on a DVD. This has happend way too many times. Then I put the one or two extra episodes on a CD-R. It took me a while to transition to DVD's because I needed to get some extra hard space because I my backlog and amount of series I watch. |
 |
| Old thread is old. Wow. :D When I used to burn stuff, I'd do either a full series (if it would fit) per disc, if it was too big, I'd split the series in half over two discs (ie a 26 series = 13 eps per disc) -- I don't really care about maximising the disc space. But HDDs are cheaper than (archival quality) DVDs these days, so I just buy a new one every couple months. |
DarkLaila said: Let's see...depends on the series length. If 26 eps don't fit a DVD I devide it equally (like 13eps per disc)...quite a pain, but I hate mixing animes. I'm exactly the same ^^ also, I don't re-encode my anime to make it watchable on the tv, I just watch it on my computer ;3 |
  |
| My computer is hooked up to my TV, so I dont burn anything. Old thread btw. |
