Hello please help me I want to copy boxing matches that are 50 miutes long with 3 to 4 fights on one DVD+R is this possible?
I must add that I have copied movies that were 2 hours long plus all the extras that were another 30 minutes.Is that possible?I do have DVD Shrink but I'm only able to file the movies with it,then I have to use Nero to burn them .Is that what is allowing me to fit that much on one DVD+R?THANKYOU VERY MUCH.
It depends how much quality you are willing to sacrifice. You can get 6 hours onto a DVD but it looks horrendous. Realistically, one DVD-5 (4.6 Gb) holds 60 minutes of full-quality DVD video and audio. You can get up to an hour-and-a-half, maybe two hours to stretch things, while maintaining pretty much DVD-quality. After that, you really have to start dropping resolution or start accepting all the compromises that come from reduced bitrates, such as macroblocking, artifacting, and other quality problems.
Frankly, if you want decent quality, I'd only put one, maybe two, matches on a DVD. DVD Shrink is not a burning program - it just squeezes your video to fit on one DVD-5. Nero is for burning.
-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
