Any longer and the video has to be compressed and you lose quality. With 3 hours you would not want to watch it. Also, what you are trying to do is illegal.

redruner100 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I don't care whether it is legal or not. I'm sure that's mostly the reason why people buy it. The dvd holds 2hrs of video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDavis Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I don't think legality nor the capability of a DVD-R should be a factor in how long you can record. I don't want to go direct from VHS to DVD, I want to make digital files so I can edit prior to burning the DVD. I have personal tapes (as I said, legality isn't an issue) that are longer than 3 hours. Why can't I make one digital file, why should I have to create two? Now I know I don't have to limit the recording to 2:59, I can make it unlimited by not selecting the timer. But that also means I can't just start a recording and leave, I have to continually monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legality does not have anything to do with how long you can record, but Roxio can get into some trouble, if other users in the forums, help folks who are blatantly performing illegal acts of reproducing protected video. If you want to capture a file the length that you are talking about, even if the software was capable of doing it, I would be willing to bet that there would be so many drop outs, that the A/V sync would be so far off, it wouldn't be worth the time it took to capture it, nor would it be worth the amount of hard drive space that the capture squandered. Editing a file that length in time, would be another issue. But, if you feel that the software should be able to capture for that amount of time anyway, contact Roxio directly, and lodge your complaint.
