Making a Long Play DVD

[jpm]

Hi. I looked it up in the "Help" menu first and I think I now "Searched" long enough on the many pages of this forum but I can't seem to find anyone else having this same question! Anyone Last year I bought and successfully installed the download version of VS 11+. I just want to put 2 hours of video on 1 dvd (4.7GB). I remember in the trial versions I tested before (it was either Movie Factory or DVD Workshop) I had this option: you could select the quality of the movie you finally burn to the dvd in order to have High Quality (the normal 1hour and 20minutes), SP, Long Play that would be 2 hours etcetera.
It doesn't seem to me that I'm asking too much: any movie is that long!
THANKS a lot! Jean-Pierre

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I already used the "Settings and Options" button next to that "Project Settings" button in order to write a dvd in NTSC format as it had to be sent to the States. However, I didn't realize that, like I regularly do for pictures, for video there's a similar procedure to have optimal result depending on the available disc space and the desired quality. This needed some explanation by an expert indeed , and so I need a calculator too! THANKS! Jean-Pierre.

This doesn't make a proper PAL to NTSC version, so it may not work. Either send a PAL version for them play on a pc or use a standards converter programme - expensive - to do it properly.

In fact many if not most set top or standalone NTSC DVD players will play PAL discs, so long as they're not commercial discs with regional coding. All my players certainly can.

Thank you very much! In the end I'm going to learn all about this program wich is certainly a wonderful thing (VideoStudio). Until now I have probably only been using 5 % of it's capacity!
