Which is a better format for videos to be stored on DVD's.AVI, MP3 ?

Answer 1

Commercial DVDs use MPEG-2, main profile at main level at about 6 Mbits/s and Dolby audio.

NOt all players can play AVI files or MP3s.

Answer 2

For storage only, then edit it later? Then AVI raw format on several DVDs. Use Winrar to chop it up.


Or, if you don't plan on editing the video, MPG (mpeg-2 720x480, NTSC=USA or PAL=UK) is what you want.

The newer DVD players will play a DVD DATA disk, that has all sorts of MPG files on it. JPGs too.
