2:12 hrs of mpeg to DVD

[yadoc]

I copied 19 analog tapes (8mm) each containing 2 hours and up to 10 minutes of footage, using windows xp media center. I have managed to convert each to mpeg using click to DVD but that software is not able to treat that conversion as a "capture on long play" so each tape would fit on a dvd .
Do any of the other softwares do that ? ie: borrow the mpeg file, allow me to splice it in chapters then reduce the quality while writing the DVD ?

Thanks for any input

It's probably a different thing to what you're doing but I recently had a 2.5 hour movie captured from a TV card that I wanted to burn to a DVD.

I burnt a DVD-9 ISO image and then mounted that into a virtual drive.

Then used DVD Shrink and Nero to shrink it to fit a normal blank DVD.

Use a standalone mpeg encoder such as TmpGenc, CCE or Mainconcept. These will let you have full control over the bitrate you encode at. The bitrate is what determines the final fileszie and so wether or not it will fit on a DVDr. You will then need to take the resulting mpegs and use them in a DVD authoring program. Consider TmpGenc DVD author, or DVD-Lab as good value packages that include downloadable trial versions. Be prepared to read a few guides and leran some stuff.
