I tried to search to find this answer but with no luck, so if anyone knows of a thread already covering this--please point me there. So the question..I have been converting home VHS into .mpg format and storing them on my Harddrive until I wanted to burn them to DVD. Now that I have a lot of them I went to burn them but am finding that only about 3 gigs of .mpg video files will fit on a DVD before it says it is full. However when I convert miniDV to .avi and then burn them to DVD it can fit a good 16 gigs on one DVD. So is this the way it is going to be or is there anyway I can fit more .mpg files on one DVD. Thanks.
If you are trying to burn playable DVD's it's all about the running time. What is the combined running time of those 3 GB's?
Thank you for your help. Thats where my problem was, I didnt even think about the length; only the size.
