Best way to burn DVD from DV

Post by dai »

Hi,
I just started with Ulead 9, captured 60min video and got 13G file, burned it into DVD and got very donwgraded quality.
Looks like I'm missing something, what would be the best way to put my video on disk, with good quality ?

Thanks
Dai

Thanks, Steve a lot.

Just for the case, in VS9 I don't have MPEG-2 as a file type on Capture stage, only MPEG, is it assumed to be MPEG-2 ?

Your initial post stated 60 min = 13GB that would be DV (AVI) not MPEG.
If however you were capturing to MPEG it would most likely be MPEG2.

The other MPEG formats are MPEG 1 which was very small and you could squeeze a hour onto a CD (Not a DVD - a CD)

MPEG4 which is a highly compressed format where 1 hour = roughly 800 MB.

MPEG3 never got off the ground and was originally intended for HD format.
