Is there any way to make a playable dvd with a large amount of video and not loose quality?

[justin860]

I have 11 files in WMV format right now. Ranging from 400mb-783MB. And I was asked if at all possible to make one playable dvd. I assume quality is important too. It was a youth football season.

 

Is this possible, or is it a crazy idea?

In my dvd, it won't even lessen the quality to put all this one dvd.

Any recomendations?

 

I also have the other various formats the movies came in, like the dvd video files. I guess the dvd's were taken with a handy dvd cam.

 

If this is in the wrong area, please direct me where I need to go.

Time is the important factor, not file size. You can only get approx. 2 hours on a standard dvd. You might have more luck with dual layer if you have that capability.

One hour of video at best quality on a standard DVD, a little less than 2 hours at a somewhat reduced quality. If you have a DL burner you can about double that.

 

After that you get into non-standard formats like DivX where you need a DVD player that supports that format.

So I better off with telling him that it will be multiple dvd's in order to maintain quality.

Thanks guys.

Would be much better quality to use the original discs/files than using the WMV which have been compressed.

The program was crashing when I tried to use the original files. I am not sure why. Any ideas>?
