It's down to the run time, minutes and hours,
which you haven't discussed.
Assuming it a typical 90 minute movie, you can probably put two on the
DVD. More than that, and you start getting into low bit-rates and
the quality will drop significantly.
The average lenth of the movies I have are 90 minutes each.
Let me ask this, what does the software look at when creating a DVD movie, is it the file size or lenght of move? I tried to convert a 90 minute avi(250meg) to DVD and it used up most of the space on the DVD. You would think that I could get 10 plus movies of that size but I guess it does not work that way when converting avi to DVD.
Thanks for your help. My daugher just had a DVD player put in her car and it only plays DVD's. It will not play avi's. Well, she will just have to do a DVD for each movie.
