Hi,
I am using Ulead Video Studio 8. I have just finished editing my holiday
video and find that it is an hour and a half long (6.4GB). Studio is
telling me that this will not fit onto a DVD.
Can anyone tell me the maximum length (time) of video that can be put onto a
DVD?
I was under the impression that it was about 2 hours?
Now that I have my video nicely edited can anyone suggest a way out of my
problem? Should I split the video, and if so how? And will 1.5 hours fit
onto two SVCD?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ray

I assume your file is .mpg

Any time. A DVD-5 can hold up to 4.37 GB. The time depends on the
bitrate. If you use a video bitrate around 7000 kbps, you shall be
able to stuff 1 h. aprox. If you reduce the bitrate by half, then you
double the time: 2 h. aprox. You can reduce the bitrate further, and
stuff 6 hours per disc, but that usually inolves usin lower
resolution, so that the bits/pixel ratio does not become too low.

Yes. Use the authoring program of your choice to make a DVD on your
harddrive. It shall take more space than a DVD disc can hold, but tell
the program to do it anyway. Do not try to burn this on a DVD disc,
but leave the .VOBs et al on the hardddrive.

Then use DVDShrink or DVD2One to reduce the size to 4.37, and burn it.

>Should I split the video, and if so how?

DVDShrink shall reduce the quality a bit. If you want to keep the full
quality, then you would need to use 2 discs. You can use mpeg-vcr to
cut your .mpg file into 2, and author both parts separately.

SVCD is a CD format, meant to burn up to 40 minutes per disc, but at a
much lower quality than regular DVDs.
