I'm still working on a highlight video for my son's football team. it's all done, ready to export and create the DVD. Which file quality should I choose? I've got 10 games to put on a DVD, all are 3-5 minutes long and was recorded with an HD camcorder. I don't need/want huge files, but I do want very good quality.

same question for a photo slideshow....

thanks.

As long as all the video is under one hour total, you can output to the best quality possible for a 4.7GB disc.  If you use dual layer disc, just under two hours.

thanks Guru.....I initially saved them as DV format AVI, would MPEG 2 - for DVD's work best?

When you use MyDVD to create the disc, it will convert the DV AVI to the proper MPEG 2 for video DVD.  Capturing to DV AVI works best especially if you want to do any editing.
