2 or more movies on dvd

[stanna]

I have just purchased a PVR capture card and was wondering if it is possible to burn more than one tv program or movie onto a dvd-rewrtable disc

[Baldrick]

Yes, you can burn several movies on one dvdr. But more movies means worse video quality(lower video bitrate).

it will only be like half hour programs off the tv that I miss while at work, just really need to know how to get more than one on a disc. How would be able to choose each program once on standalone player

I do the same thing. Capture Mpeg2, 352x480 and set the bitrate to average 3000 kbps. With these settings you should be able to fit around 4 hours of video. For better quality go with 720x480 at 6000 kbps, you can fit around 2 hours at this setting. Be sure to set the audio capture to DVD compliant 48 khz, a bitrate of 256 kbps should be good.

After that you will have to author a DVD to create menus and DVD structured files (i.e. vob, ifo, bup). A simple program such as Ulead Movie Factory will allow you to creat simple menus that will allow you to select each title. There are many guides on how to author a DVD on this site. Also, www.lordsmurf.com is a good site to go to for capturing questions.
