Hello
I have 4 videos each being 50 minutes approx in my project and would like to write them to a 4.7GB disc (I can do this on my lounge room DVD recorder).
Is this possible in DVD Movie Maker 6? I don't mind sacrificing the quality.
Thanks in advance
George

I have seen a DVD where 6 hours worth was squeezed onto a 4.3 DVD disc and it was watchable. That was using bit rates intended for VCD discs.
DVD is considered a better quality format because of the larger space available on the disc so that you can use higher bit rates.
Top Quality is considered 1 hour per disc.
Then - just like your DVD Recorder in your lounge - you can use lower bit rates and get more on. Just how much more depends upon what YOU consider to be acceptable quality.
Also bear in mind that if you watch a video on a small screen it will appear much cleaner and sharper than on a big screen. Consider a video played in a window on a web site such as You Tube - now think of how that same video would look on a 42" flat screen TV.
