    Moved to appropriate forum.

    How big are the files you are working with?

    The avi's should be around 700mb and will require no compression, but rather converting them to DVD compliant files for burning onto a DVD with a program such as DVD Flick.

    We really need to know exactly what you have here too...

    From the Camcorder...I have 3
    2 is- 2.5GB Movie Clip (.mpg)
    1 is - 3.5 Movie Clip (.mpg)
    I want to make a DVD using Studio 10 in the end. I have made video's before but could only fit 60 min on each DVD. So I wanted to know how people fit MORE on a disk.
