Creating a home movie

I have just started using movie maker 2.1 to create my movies I have tried to
save the movie as DV AVI file but is to large to burn on to a 4.2Gb disc,
when I save the movie as High Quality Video (PAL) I seem to lose picture
quality.

Can I compress the DV AVI version to fit on to a 4.2Gb disc or will I have
to cut the movie down.

Cheers

You don't put the AVI on the DVD. You use your third party software to
re-encode the DV-AVI file and burn the DVD. You can fit about two hours
worth of video on a DVD drive.

You'll save the DV-AVI, open your third party software, import the DV-AVI
and tell it to burn the DVD. Don't think about file size, think about time
length.

My dvd burner came with NERO. It has the option to recode. That recodes the
avi file to fit on a single DVD. Your dvd software probably has the same
type of options. There is very little loss of quality.
Your DVD burning program will make it fit on a DVD

cut file, save fragments, copy to another PC,
then compose again

XEDIT.EXE
http://xedit.smike.ru
for huge files more than 1 Gig use:
"Tools"->"Fragmentize File" to pieces
If you want for gather file again from pieces use:
"Tools"->"Compose File" from pieces
