<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>TCREQUANT: You can reduce the size of your files and fit
more video on a DVD by using tcrequant, which is part of transcode. This
is done with the command:</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> tcrequant -i 1.m2v -o
1-rq.m2v -f 1.5</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The 1.5 is the reduction factor. You can adjust this
to be any value between 1 and 2. 1 would keep the file the same size
(wouldn't make any sense to do so), and as far as I understand it, 2
would reduce the video file size by half.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>DVDS WITH MENUS: The steps above create a DVD that
starts playing the video automatically. If you want to burn a DVD with
menus and multiple video titles, see "Creating a DVD with a Menu HowTo".</span></font></p>
