Will that make it so I can fit even less files on a DVD? I created a
DVD project in Sonic after creating my .wmv files and I was surprised
that it took 2 DVDs, even though I had less than 2 hours of video in
the .wmv files (about 300 MB), and these are low quality compared to
the .avi. Will it be even worse using .avi (.avi file is 50 times a big
as the equivalent video in .wmv), or will it take up the same amount of
space on the DVD since it will get converted into a DVD friendly format
anyway?
Thanks from a newbie,

DVD compliant discs are formatted in MPEG-2 according to strict video and
audio guidelines. It does not matter what your files are in originally,
although DV-AVI is the best choice. At standard DVD video quality, you can
get slightly more than one hour on a DVD. If your DVD authoring software
allows, you can record up to 4 hours on a single DVD, with a slight
compromise in video and audio quality.
..wmv files are not the best choice when creating files to be rendered to
DVD. You should *ALWAYS* use DV-AVI.
