:) Hello Folks.

I had done some calculations, but many folks have different oppinions.

So, after some math, on a 4.7 gigs DVD Builder saids I got
left 4.6 Gigs for the video, this is something like 117 Minutes.

The Question:  

Is that 117 Minutes of PERFECT QUALITY VIDEO or the video
will be compressed and the quality dropped ?

What is the maximun DVD builder will do on "Best Video Quality" ?

I had seens some post that if the video is too long, DVD Builder
will compress the video and drop the quality.
Some said 117 others 60 minutes.

I dont want this to happend.

Thanks again folks.......

The maximum at Best Quality you can fit on a standard 4.7GB DVD is 60 minutes.. Anything above 60 minutes will be at reduced quality.

I don't remember anyone saying you could get 117 minutes on a standard DVD, which would be quite incorrect, if speaking in terms of high quality.

I do remember folks properly saying that you could get about 117 minutes on a DL DVD at high quality, though.

You need a Dual Layer DVD burner to burn the DL DVDs.
