Who the hell are they kidding ? Remember when digital video was a postage stamp sized clip with grainy video ? Those days are with us again. 16 hours on a DVD5 and 27 hours on a DVD9. Never mind the quality, feel the length.

Must have stole the idea from me posted Posted: Sep 12, 2004 08:31 After I figure the math out... Compliant single layer DVD with 24 hours. Don't have the file anymore but it wasn't terribly bad, good enough if you wanted to archive security video or something along those lines.:

I was able to even create a ridiculously large amount of video using a solid black video but I guess that would be cheating.

I am doing a test run at the moment. 8 90 minute movies - 12 hours give or take. It has (correctly) suggested 352 x 240 for the resolution, and 64 kbps for the audio (to improve the video quality, you understand). Seems reasonably fast - around 7 hours to encode and author. Some little menu design tool - better than TDA for those happy to use templates. Still 4.5 hours until I get to see the video quality though.

I guess theretically you can get practically any amount on a single disc, the video I made from my above post was only limited by the fact that it was as low as my encoder would go. As I said it didn't look terribly bad but it was a slow action video, addtionally my DVD player had some issues with it, played fine on the computer.

I'm not THAT much of a "quality-whore" myself, but thats ridiculous.

I'd rather have 3-4 hours of NICE quality video on DVD-5, than 20+ hours of garbage quality.

Though 4 hours is pushin' it. IMO, DVD-5's definitely can get 3-Hours of Good quality video(provided that all excess junk consuming compression quality is deleted first).

That was my thought too.
