Depending on your system, this can take some time to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gi7omy Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 You have to forget original size when converting for DVD player format. Basically, one hour movie = 1 DVD .avi files are highly compressed. While they are only 600 odd MB, when you convert that to the vob format for a set-top player, it will be a LOT larger: so large that it will be over the 4.3 GB of a standard DVD However, due to a bit of trickery, EMC is able to compress the output to fit on a standard DVD and the price is a loss in quality, but usually that's not very noticable when viewed on a standard TV screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
