The software will do the encoding for you. Nearly one hour of HQ (High Quality) video will fit on a standard-sized (4.7 GB) DVD. The time specs for HQ might be slightly different - e.g. 57 minutes, so one hour of video could mean two minutes more or two minutes less. Some software gives a Smart Fit option, which adjusts the quality so that it fits perfectly on the DVD's capacity. If you don't have this, you will have to choose SP (Standard Play).</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-with-dvd-writing#post-49132 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:45:07 +0000 robGRAUERT 49132@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You need to convert it to MPEG2. Do you have DVD studio Pro? It does the encoding for you, and it's not hard. A guy I know has tutorials on Youtube:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/getgoingtraining?blend=2&amp;ob=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/user/getgoingtraining?blend=2&amp;ob=1</a></p> <p>Just gotta look his DVDSP tutorials on his page, I think they're all mixed up. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-with-dvd-writing#post-49125 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:39:25 +0000 hokeee 49125@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi guys,</p> <p>I need some help please - I have an hour video (edited in FCP) that I need to get onto a DVD (for TV viewing), best quality. I usually export a Quicktime movie &amp; write it to IDVD, it works fine. But now it keeps telling me the video is too large (10Gb). How do I get an hour video onto a DVD to watch on TV then??</p> <p>Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? </p> <p>Thanx!</p>
