Notes to shrinking (requant)
If your source material is just a bit to large to
fit to one DVD, you may shrink the video file with requant. Requant is
the precursor of Rejig
and is based on the M2V requantizer from Metakine.
If you use it with care (don't go below 80% of original size), the
result is usually very good. As requant can only work with elementary
mpeg2 files, it is not possible to use it for mpeg1 or multiplexed
material.
The function is quite easy to use: Start the Video and Audio files dialog and enter the new video size in the text
field 'New video size' (or the percentage of the original in the field
'Factor'). Then activate the check 'Use Requant to shrink'.
The requantized video file is deleted after multiplexing.
For several videos you may also use the automatic factor calculation
function in the menu 'Start ->Auto calculate Shrink'. There a 'global' shrink factor can be
calculated which is automatically set for all suitable (elementary
mpeg2) videos:
