Hi, I have imported video from a 3hour VHS tape onto my PC using Studio 9. It turned out to be 38Gigs.

Am I wasting my time trying to find out how to put it on ONE single layer DVD but still having good quality??

I used Virtual dub to compress the AVI file to just over 17Gigs, obviously too big.

Should I be looking at using a couple of DL's for sure with a little deleting of video that is not absolutely neccessary to have?

what you've captuerd is the uncompressed captures.
what you need to do here is compress it using mpeg4 codec, to me its either XviD or x264.
go read guide.
or you want to do a dvd encode with mpeg2.

vhs captuers are a definite grainy video, so you might want to filter all the analog crap out.

for automation try autogk or megui.
is it just me or i just can't figure out all the extra features of megui, i only use as a x264 gui...

shiroh,
I did use XviD Mpeg4 codec. Are autogk and megui for filtering out the analog crap?.

its an all in 1 kinda thing, and automated. yes if you set the right filters to remove the grains and unnecessary picture noise. since i'm a manual labor kinda guy, i don't really use them.
