Hi all,
Hope you can offer some advice.. I have burnt a couple of films downloaded from the net onto DVD using WinDVD Creator and initially thought everything had gone fine. The menus created looked great, the quality of the films on playback were fine and background music to the menus worked perfectly. However, when I checked the length of the films I noticed that both of them differ in length to the original film by 10 or more minutes. What would cause this? I haven't edited the original movies other than to create chapters and when viewing them there doesn't appear to be anything missing but what accounts for those missing minutes?

TIA

Peter

The frame rate may be change from the original.

I wondered whether this was causing the difference but I thought that would only effect the size of the file. Would a 10+ minute difference be expected then?

10 min is alot but if the original had a very low framerate I could see it doing that.

Yeap, It's probably frame rate. It can also happen when transcoding NTSC to PAL and vice versa as the 2 work off diff frame rates. (29fps V 26fps I think)I seem to remember reading some versions of WinDVD have a feature to eliminate this but in general I would'nt worry about it as over a 2Hr film it's inperceivable.
