Hi everyone
i am pretty new to video studio ,
i convert vhs video to dvd but i am finding that 1 and half hours of video is about 6 gb,
How can i make the size smaller ? can i convert the output files ?
i tried saving a project on my computer but it ended up 39 gb !!!
Anybody please shed light on this matter i would be most grateful
thankyou shonka

You need to reduce the bitrate of your video. Higher bitrate = higher quality = larger file size. Lower bitrate = lower quality = smaller file size. You want to find the balance between quality and file size. Since you are starting out with VHS you can probably start with a fairly low bitrate (5,000 kbps), as you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear, as they say.

Read the following tutorial, From Camcorder to DVD, paying particular attention to the Project Settings section.

thankyou jeff for the reply , i will give it a good read thankyou
