Hi everyone, here's a dilema that i'm trying to resolve:
~i've captured video from my camcorder into my computer and have pieced all of the clips together. now i'd like to burn them onto a dvd, however the clips are exceeding 8.5 gigs of information and definately won't fit onto a dvd+r. the clips themselves only add upto about 50 minutes in length, so i have a feeling that the information just needs to be compressed down to fit the parameters of blank dvd media. could someone give me a basic idea of what program(s) to use for compressing clips of this nature and what should be my target format for compression. Thanks!!

Firstly don't try & bold what cannot be done ;-)
[edited thread title for ya]

What format have you got at the moment , is it .MPG ... MPEG 2 (DVD comlaint) ?

I normally encode to MPEG2 (w/ 48.000Hz & the right screen resolution) and then convert to VOB format ... but if over 4.36Gb then I'd compress DVD2One (DVD Shrink is a free alternative).
