I've captured video from a digital camcorder to my computer with WinDV. Each 15 minutes file now has 2.6 GB
1. How can I compress that so that I can burn the avi-file onto a CD?
2. If I want to burn a DVD do I have to do that using any of the tools mentioned here (e.g. Avi2DVD) or will the burning software do that automatically?
And if I burn a DVD will the file size stay at 2.6 GB for 15 minutes or is there a way to decrease that?
I admit these are probably stupid questions but I've read so much about converting on this site that I'm now confused. I understand how to do a conversion but not in which cases I actually do need to convert.
I'll appreciate any hint!
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

1. If you want to keep the quality you must split it on several cds. But you could also compress it to avi divx/xvid or wmv with for example AutoGK(AVI Divx) or Windows Movie Maker(WMV).
2. Do you mean a dvd-video that should work on dvd players? Then it depends on the burning software, some can convert,author and burn to dvd-video like avi2dvd, nero vision, tmpgencdvd author, convertxtodvd, dvd flicks or see our tools list under all-in-one dvd converters. The size on the dvd-video disc depends on the video bitrate you use, most all-in-one tools set the bitrate automatically for you, 15 min around 600MB. -
