ok i just got a dvd burner but i can only put about 1hour of video on a 4.7 disk.im useing mydvd to do this but i dont think its compressing it.is there something im missing.or do i need to get more software to compress it.im captureing useing aiw 7500
on high 720&480 ect.any help would be great thanks.
DVD use MPEG2 compression which you can capture directly with your ATI card. Some DVD authoring programs does not support mpeg audio and then decompress it to PCM audio, so that could be a reason?
What bitrate do tou capture with? 1 hour of video on a DVD-R is close to the maximum allowed DVD bitrate (around 10 mbit/s total). Try capture with a lower bitrate to fit more on one disc.
What you should do Is Capture to Low Compression AVI then encode the Captured AVI to Mpeg2 with a High Quality Mpeg encoder..Captureing directly to Mpeg looses a Lot of Quality so captureing with a Lossless codec or close to lossless codec then useing a Mpeg encoder that can encode the avi with all the time in the world to High quality mpeg2 would give you better results and give you much more on a DVD-R...
