How to burn a show recorded using Media Center (Vista Ultimate) to DVD, when file too large for DVD?

Question

I have recorded a tv special using Windows Media Center from my Vista Ultimate computer. However, when I try using the Burn to DVD feature from within Windows Media Center, it says that the recording is too large to fit on a DVD (just over 2 hours, because i recorded a couple minutes before and after, just to be safe). I tried allowing it to burn the DVD at a lower quality to "squeeze" it onto the dvd, but it turned out really back (audio out of sync with the video, etc), so I don't want to do that. Is there another way to burn this to dvd, besides having to buy more DL discs?

Thanks for your suggestions!

Answer 1

You can import it to win movie maker and split it. Then export it and put them on DVD

Answer 2

One possible solution.

Go to thegreenbutton.com. From there, download DVR-Edit. I've been using this free software for over a year to edit DVRMS files.

You can use it to edit out the time you added at the start and end.

You can also edit out the commercials.

This doesn't effect quality.

From the posts in greenbutton, you'll see that some people have had problems using it; but I haven't.
