maximum running time on DVD-9

[kirbydesign]

Has anyone tried more than 4 hours on a DVD-9? I'm looking to put about 6 hours on. Any insight to DVD compatibility issues with this much content?

thanks,

ian.

It all depends on your video and audio bitrates.

A high bitrate means less time but great quality.
A low bitrate means more time but bad quality.

You could put more then 12 hours on a DVD-9, but most likely it will look horrible due to the low bitrate.

Compatibility is not an issue, but quality is.

great

thanks for your help.

i've verified with laserpacific, delux, technicolor, and radius 60.

cheers,

ian

Although I would normally reply in full, here, it seems pointless to duplicate something I've posted already, elsewhere, and that others have also made useful contributions to, so here's a link to a recent thread on 2-pop that should prove informative.
