How long of a home video can fit on a Memorex DVD-R...?

Question

16X, 4.7 GB, 120 minutes? Is it really supposed to hold 120 minutes? I'm trying to burn a home video that is 71 minutes and my computer insists that it's too big for the DVD. Any advice? (I'm using Power Producer to burn the DVD)

Answer 1

It is about the quality of the video that determines the size. If you give up on the quality, you can certainly fit longer videos. I had DVD-R holding movies upto 2.5 hours. 71 minute vide shouldn't be a problem at all. I keep burning my kid's videos all the time and it should fit in

I use Nero for my DVD. I feed it either WMV or AVI format and you can make it fit to one disc. It adjusts the quality accordingly

I don't know if there is such option with Power Producer

Good luck!

Answer 2

It is based on the quality of the video. The higher it is, the less it can hold. Reduce it & it will fit.
