Finally get to post something on the site:D
Well I have been absorbing myself in my new ATI9800 All-In-Wonder video card. I have been following all the guides reading forums from this site and many others. I think this site is the most legit though:sly: But I digress.
Here is my dilema for all you DVB JEDI KNIGHT capture warriors:
I just recorded Seabiscut which is 2hr 20minutes. I used Pinacle Studio 8.10 and I recorded in MPEG2 format 720X480 with digital Audio. The entire file size is 6.6gigs in the raw. My ultimate goal is to get this to DVD format which is limited to 4.7gigs. Someone steer me in the right direction. Is 6.6gigs for 140minutes correct? Should I be recording in *.AVI format instead?
When I use TMPG DVD Author and then CloneDVD it looks like I am watching LEGO blocks. The video is really really poor.
So I ask you
1. should I be capturing in a different format to get the file size down?
2. Should I use a different capture utility for DVB like MPEG_VCR or FLYCAP
Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
