malatekid Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 No the entire video it already was edited before going to VHS where I captured it fromI am creating an ISO file now and then try to get it to DVD How(if the ISO is more Then 4.5GB)?? Before you hit the Burn icon in MyDVD, make sure to set the Disc size to 4.7gb and the Quality set to High Quality (HQ). Launch Disc Copier, choose the ISO created by MyDVD as your source. Disc Copier will fit it to disc. Let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimicher Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 The Qualety is like Long record Because its a file of my vacation and its like 2:20 hours and i want to create a nice menu in MyDVD and then just burn it on a DVD(4,5 GB) but When I import it the file( original 2,97 GB) is like 5 GB and That can't be burn on a DVD of 4.5 GB If you are trying to squeeze a 2:20 hour file on to the DVD, the resulting video will not be good quality especially if you have already copied it to a VHS and recaptured. Try to split the video in half an create 2 DVDs, you will retain most of the quality. In what format is the original vacation video? You might be better capturing from the original source direct to your hard drive and editing it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Whizzkid You aren't going to like the finished quality, because if you recorded that VHS at the slow speed, the quality is already bad. Bad in = bad out.

Many files are not DVD compliant and in order to make them so, gain size. Time is the important factor. I suggest you choose Best Quality setting and burn to an ISO file then use Disc Copier to burn the file to disc. Disc Copier will fit the ISO to disc at best possible quality. I've used ISO files as large as 7.2 GB with very good quality. 5GB will be no problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you want to do some editing to cut out unwanted segments and to enhance the video (e.g., adding text, inserting transitions if you cut from one scene to another--say from walking in a park to beach swimming, etc.). Editing is done in Videowave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
