I am a bit new to converting divx to dvd. I have tried WinDVD Creator and Roxio. I have an entire season of Rescue Me on Divx and when I try to create a dvd, I can only fit 2 episodes per dvd. I thought that you could pack more on there. I dont want to lose quality, but dont the DVDs that you buy in a store contain more than 2 episodes per DVD? Thanks for the help.

commercial dvd's are dual layered {dvd9} which hold roughly 9 gigs of data.

if you want to fit more ona dvd single layer you can use a app called DVD Shrink which will compress the video to fit, you have to convert to mpeg2 first b4 shrinking with this app

Commercial DVDs are pressed not burnt and nowadays most Hollywood Movies / TV Series are on Dual Layer discs. To get similar results you would need to burn them on D/L discs or shrink them with DVD Shrink, and then burn them with your choice of burning application.

You can also Use one of the Other DVD Standard that allow for more Video to be Fit on a DVD also if you use a High Quality standalone encoder you will produce better quality at a Lower bitrate which will allow you to squeeze more Video on a DVD.....

The Regular Full D1 DVD Standard (720x40 NTSC / 720x576 Pal) will Generally only allow you to Fit a Max of 2.5 to 3.0 hours on a DVD (3000kbs to 4000kbs) before the quality deteriorates to a Point were it is Unwatchable...

If you were to Use the Half D1 Standard (352x480 NTSC / 352x576 Pal) You could Fit from 4 to 5 hours of Video on a DVD (1800kbs to 2300kbs) with about SVCD Quality....

If you were to use the SIF/CIF DVD Standard (352x240 NTSC / 352x288 Pal) you could Fit from 6 to 7 Hours of Video on a DVD (1250kbs to 1500kbs useing Mpeg-1 or Mpeg-2) with better than VCD quality....

So with the Sacrifice of a Bit of Quality you can Fit considerably more on a DVD when useing the other DVD Standards....

Cheers
