    Hmmmm compressed it last night, when its on the PC now it's 90 mins long, when it was finished it was only 63 mins long :(

    Will i lose some of it or is this what always happens ??

    Thats nearly 27 mins of set footage :cry:

    Cheers ;)

    There's :

    MPEG2 SVCD (NTSC)
    MPEG2 SVCD (PAL)
    MPEG2 DVD (NTSC)
    MPEG2 DVD (PAL)

    What one should i pick, when i did it originally i used the "MPEG2 DVD (PAL)" and thats when it cut the set down to just 60 mins when its 91 as WMV ??

    :)

    I'd use something like Main concept to convert it to an MPEG2 file (or DVD quality file) and then pass it through TMPEG DVD Author.

    Done it loadsa times and it works everytime..

    Right....

    I converted the file last night, when i come in today theres :

    PVD Dance Valley_mpeg 3.99 GB
    PVD Dance Valley_aud 145 MB
    PVD Dance Valley_vid 3.81 GB

    When i have gone to copy he mpeg one i am using DVD-RW's, there just new today and are 2X and 4.7 GB - however whenever it goes to copy the file onto CD the CD's just get ejected and it says failed :( :(

    I did try originally with DVD-R's but again that kept fucking up and am just getting sick now :cry:

    Can anyone help again or point me in right direction as to what files i should be adding to the CD n why it maybe fucking up ?!?!

    Cheers :)

    Get yourself a DVD authoring program..
    I use TMPEG DVD Author..

    This will above all other things allow you to convert the MPEG into .vob files.. which is the best file to write to a video dvd.

    Something is telling me that a 4GB MPEG probably isn't suitable for a dvd.. I'm pretty sure that 2GB chunks are the max allowed.. although I may be confusing that with some other file system.

    Also by authoring the dvd u could put in menus and chapter marks..

    the MPGs and AVI's that i get of my digital video camera are about 4Gig for 20mins... once you bung it into your DVD authoring prog it sorts it out. Nero does a good job of this and have never had any bother with AVIs of up to 9 gig!
