I have a friend who wants to put a 16GB video file (1hr long in standard definition) onto one DVD with as little loss in quality as possible. My initial thinking is that putting it on a dual layer disc is probably best.

Is there any kind of software tool out there that can do this? I was thinking maybe "ConvertXtoDVD", but I have only used this to burn small divx and xvid files to DVD. Not sure it could handle putting a 16GB video file to a single DVD.

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure exactly what kind of file it is. .AVI, MPEG, etc., but maybe there is software out there that can handle multiple formats? That is what I was mainly thinking.

The devil is in the details.

If you want good, informed help, you have to
get the details. Simple as that.

For example, if it's a format that has to be *converted* to DVD
compatible mpeg, single layer is enough - based on the 1 hour length.

Try something like avstodvd and see what it says:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/avstodvd/

You'll also need avisynth installed (version 2.58)
