Help! I'm recording my old camcorder cassettes onto my hard drive so I can back them up on DVD's. How come I can only get about 30-45 minutes worth of tape on a 4.7gb DVD? Is that normal or am I doing something wrong? I have the Roxio Creater 9 suite.
Thanks!

You have given no information on how you are "backing up" your "old camcorder cassettes" to a DVD. We don't know if you are creating a data DVD or a video DVD. Without that information we are only guessing at a solution. A standard 4.7GB DVD will hold 60 minutesw of video when burned as a video DVD.
