What really matters is the size of the video that you want to burn on to DVD. A standard single sided DVD has a capacity of 4.70 GB and a dual layer has a capacity of 8.54 GB (there is blu ray, but I will leave that out). What you want to do is have the final video file size within the capacity of the media that you are burning it to (no bigger 4.7 GB for single sided and 8.54 GB for dual layer dvd's). You can lower file size by trimming off unecessary parts or by encoding it to a lower resolution. Although encoding it to lower resolution will degrade the picture quality, but as long as you don't lower the resolution too much. Then the picture quality loss would be hardly noticeable. You could also find a slew of DVD burning programs that could help you achieve this easier. Just google for it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
