How can I get equal or better output quality out of my Mp4 or other file format on DVD or BR with Power Director 15?

Thank you.

Hi Jeam -

It's quite impossible to burn a DVD without losing quality, unless your original MP4 is standard definition (not HD) or you burn an AVCHD DVD (which requires a BR player).

If your souce MP4 is 1920x1080, you'd be able to burn a BR disc without sacrificing too much.

I rarely burn discs, preferring to play the videos directly to my 4K TV or monitor, via USB stick or external hard drive.

Cheers - Tony

Thank you Tony,



I prefer MP4 too. But in this case, it is for a customer. I burned the BR bus she doesn't have BR player.

I but a DL 8.5 GB DVD. But the 7 GB drope to 4GB when star creating disk. Am I missing a setting on Powerdirector?

Thanks

Then you have no choice. Just burn 8.5GB DVD. Yes, the resolution will drop and so will the bitrate to make it fit. You could create a AVCHD DVD, but those can only be layed on Bluray. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit
