How to record videos from Hulu, Netflix to DVD with ease using screencasting software

[marcio22]

I've read the DVD specs, but I have problems recording DVD compatible videos with Replay Video Capture. I just can't find out how to make the recording region to be compatible with DVD-Video resolution. Any help is appreciated.

p.s. I record movies and TV episodes from Hulu and Netflix

Replay Video Capture 5 allows to record videos in DVD ISO image format ready to be burned on disc. This eliminates hours of conversion or transcoding, so can be handy for you.

How to record High Quality DVD videos with WM Capture / Replay Video Capture

You need to make sure that your computer can sustain a recording frame rate of at least 29.97 for NTSC, 25 fps for PAL. XP dual core computers with CPU speed of 2.0 GHz or higher can easily do this. On Vista and Windows 7 you may have to set Windows to "Best Performance" mode instead of "Best Appearance" as shown under Video Capture Options. To check if the DVD frame rate can be sustained, make a short two minute recording, use DVD video format, 6000 kbps, 29.97 fps, 720x480 size. When recording WM Capture / Replay Video Capture shows the actual achieved frame rate next to the preset rate in the Status window (for example 29/27 or 29/31 - the first number is the preset rate 29.97 the second is the actual achieved frame rate). Make sure the actual frame rate does not go much lower. If this happens consistently you can still record DVD's but the video quality may not be as good especially for high motion scenes.

The recorded DVD file needs to be "authored". The authoring creates the DVD folders VIDEO_TS / AUDIO_TS and usually takes a few seconds to a few minutes. It can be done automatically when recording is finished. The DVD folders can be burned as Data Disc using any DVD burner software (a two hour movie takes about 15 minutes to burn.) The recorded DVD does not have a menu so it begins playing when inserted into the DVD player. The DVD video has chapters set every 10 minutes such that the DVD can be quickly scanned in 10 minutes increments.

To maintain a reasonable frame rate of at least 20 fps even on slower computers

• the recording video size must be smaller than 1/4 of your screen.
• do not use the Full Screen videos, always try to make the video window smaller
• if the video plays in a web page use the Zoom function of the browser to make the web page and the video smaller
