I ripped my Evangelion DVDs and did alot of cleaning on the picture. Now i'm wanting to encode them and put them back on DVD but i dont know what kind of codec to use. I want something that will play back on a dvd player. thanks.

you would need to use some sort of video authoring program such as ulead video studio or tmpeg dvd author to make dvd files and then burn them to dvds

DVD Architect won't work?

DVD Architect will work. It's also an authoring program like the ones that Rollthe Stampede listed.

Well heres what I need to know. I ripped Evangelion disc 1 and cleaned up the first episode with AVIsynth. The first time I tried to save it, it was going to be 40 gigs. The second time I encoded it with XVid and after 10 minutes it was only on frame 50 of 35,000. What I need to know is 1. What codec to use so that I can put them back on DVD and 2. Whats the best way to do it. thanks.

Sorry, double post ><;

What I meant was I want to burn them to where the discs will play on DVD players. Just so I don't confuse anyone.

I'm not sure about DVD architect, but I'm pretty sure that a part of all dvd authoring programs converts the files to be written to the appropriate filetypes (vob, bup, ifo and ac3 I think)
All you need to do is make sure that the file(s) can fit on the disk.
...but then again the dvd that I tested doesn't work, so I could be very wrong

DVDs pretty much require MPEG-2 video streams (I must admit I don't know whether MPEG-1s will work, so I'm being careful with my words). Your DVD authoring program may include functionality for converting other video types to DVD-compliant MPEG-2 streams, but if you want to make use of it, then either it has to accept AVISynth files or you have to create an intermediate video file from the AVISynth scripts.

If you ask me, a better way to do it would be to feed the AVISynth scripts directly to a dedicated MPEG encoder like TMPGEnc or Quenc and encode your MPEG-2 with that. As long as you make it DVD-compliant, your DVD authoring program shouldn't re-convert the stream before burning.

Sounds good. I'll try that out. Sine the Evangelion discs look so bad, I'm trying to fix them and then i'll add a lot more stuff on the discs when I put them back on.
