dvd disc space

Post by robcat »

Hi folks,

This is a simple question. How can I Put 160 Min's of video into a 120 Min dvd disc. If it is possible? if so do I lose quality in the video.

Yes it's possible and yes you do lose some quality as you need to lower the bit rate to fit it in.

You need to remember, too, that fitting 120 minutes of video on a single layer DVD means that the quality will probably only be average, depending on the initial video you have used. The bit rate for 120 minutes using LPCM audio would be around 4000 kbps. But you could fit around 10 or 15 minutes more using Dolby or mpeg layer 2 audio. So to fit 160 minutes, you will need to experiment around 3500 kbps using Dolby or mpeg audio.
