Jen. If you're interested, I have the TV movie "Bring Me the Head of Dobie Gillis".

Jen what program do you use to encode your dvds. I am using dvd Ulead and it is not really allowing many episodes to be put on a disc. Just Curious if you are using something else

Cheers

Jay,

Since I'm computer illiterate, I use Panasonic recorders. :wave:

cartoondvds: what version of ULead are you using? I started with 2.0 and it works fine. I downloaded the trial of 3.0 when it came out and it seemed to double the size of each video so I was only able to get 1/2 as much on each disc. Is that the same problem you're having? Anybody know what the deal with this is?

Added s'more. :)

Let me know whe you have time for another trade


Cheers
Jay :happyface

Jay, I think what you need to verify if that Ulead isn't re-encoding your video. If your video is MPEG2, dvd compliant, then it shouldn't re-encode it and keep it's original size. Alot of times programs will default to re-encoding the video, at some high bit rate, causing you to get less per minutes/hours per dvd. I know MovieFactory has a setting to disable the re-encoding for mpeg2 compliant files.

I use TMPGenc DVD Author, which by default, does not re-encode the video. So I can fit 4 - 40minute shows , or 8 - 20minute shows, on a single dvd (no commercials).
