lenth of wmm film to fit on dvd

[Guest]

i have made a film in wmm2 that is 75 mins long, does anyone know if this
will fit on a 4.7 gb dvd, once i have saved it and transferred it to my dvd
it, to makethe movie, is there a formula for how much fits on a dvd.

What dvd authoring software are you using?
You can use a bitrate calcultor to work out what bitrate setting to use to
make it fit, or some apps have a wizard, so you chose 60 mins, 90 mins or
whatever and it works it out for you.
You can fit loads on a dvd, but after an hour you start to reduce quality,
75mins shouldn't be too bad.

Thanks, i convert to avi using wmm, and then import to Sonic DVDIT version 5,
to make the menu and then burn to dvd.D o you still think that 75mins will
fit, i am not to sure about bit rates, or how to calculate them.
