How do I burn 6 hours of video to a standard 4.7GB DVD

david6477 · 07-02-2007, 05:54 AM

using my computer's dvd burner? I know that I can do it if I use a commercial, stand alone, dvd burner. Yet, all the software that I have tried on my computer has a maximum of 2 hours. Is the limit dictated by my hardware or the software that I use? Thanks!

Make A Roughly 16 Hour Video Dvd

3 things are needed

1. Proper Codecs
2. TMPGEnc 3 Express (Best for this job IMO)
3. TMPGEnc DVD Author (Dual Layer Edition)

simply start a new project in TMPGEnc 3 Express, Set the output for said file as an NTSC MPEG1 (VIDEO CD)

Make sure you set at NTSC (TMPGENC WILL ONLY ACCEPT IF FRAMERATE IS 29.97 FPS)

once you have made roughly 8 hours / 16 hours depending... of video files open TMPGEnc DVD Author..

Simply press "SOURCE SETUP" you will notice you can set up multiple 'tracks'

if you add more than one file to 1 track, the program automatically sets up 'chapters'

just add your video files (and follow the steps in the program).. it will take roughly an hour or 2 to do an 8 hour disc, maybe 3 or 4 for a 16 hour disc (i don't have a dual layer burner but i am sure that it works)..
