| [Need Info] Burn 2 1/2 hour movie to dvd
What program can I use to squeeze a 2 1/2 hour movie to a 2 hour dvd??? I have 3 old VCR movies that are (1)150 and (2)155 minutes long and need to put them each on it's own single 2 hour dvd if possible. I don't have a dual burner!!! 
Thanks for any replies!!! |

| First convert the vcr movies to DVD format, then use dvdshrink to shrink them to DVD5 size.

since they're coming from a vcr, chances are the source quality is low enough that you could squeeze a dozen vcr movies onto 1 dvd |

| said by Tikker_LoS :the length of the movie is mostly immaterial since they're coming from a vcr, chances are the source quality is low enough that you could squeeze a dozen vcr movies onto 1 dvd That's not quite correct. The real factor is the bit rate they are encoded to in the analog to digital process. |

| reply to Tikker_LoS The movie is analog to begin with. Have you ever noticed the quality difference between some DVDs? A lot of movies can be found in bargain bins with 2 or more titles on a single DVD. This is done by lowering the bit rate. This doen't mean that the source quality is poor. It's just a way to put more on a disc. |
