Burn as DV or DVD?

[orenma]

Hello all experts!
I have captured with my camcoder using Ulead Video Studio 7 a video in DV format and edited the movie.
I want to burn this movie to a DVD media.
In what format do i burn it? DV or DVD

TIA.

You burn as DVD.

This means you'll have to convert/encode it from the DV file into MPEG(2) and then author into a DVD discimage, complete with VIDEO_TS folder and IFO/VOB files, and then burn.

DV is great for prosumer editing and archiving, but it uses up 25 Mbps, which means that a 2 hour movie would take up ~11 GB of disc space, IIRC!!
