Hello

I have the software Windows Movie Maker on my Packard Bell PC. It seems there is
no information on how to make good DVDs by recording from a DV camera.

What quality should I chose to get the best quality in order to burn a
DVD.

The original comes from a video 8 tape that I've digitalized via a
Canon camera with digital-analogue converter.

Which quality should I use to get the best possible DVD from this?

Is there no alternative between "DV-AVI" and "Good video quality"?

I would like to fit at least two hours on each DVD.

Is'nt this possible with Windows Movie Maker? Do I need another software?

Regards

David

You can't burn DVDs with Movie Maker or any software included with
WinXP. Go to www.ahead.com and take a look at Nero 6.X. Probably
the best package currently available for burning DVDs.

What program do you use? Is it possible to set the quality to e.g. 1,5 hours
in e.g. Pinnacle?

I'm using Ulead Movie factory 2. It only gives you three output options, DVD, VCD and SVCD. The program shows
how much video time the clips use, but you don't find out whether it all fits on the disk untill you get to the render and burn stage
That's when I found out through trial and error that I can only depend on getting about 90 minutes per disk. I gues
that lead in and lead out along with other disk info takes up a bunch of space. I would rather have the best video quality and get les
on the disk
