I've got a 2h+ long recording, retrieved from a VHS, that I wanted to put on a DVD. It is a wedding video that I want to preserve and I don't really want to edit much out of it.
iDVD does not provide much control in terms of bitrate so I tried Toast Titanium.
When importing the MPEG2 recording in Toast it gave a projected DVD size of 5.7 Gb. I tried playing with the settings (automatic, manual, then even manually decreasing the video bitrate) but the projected DVD size never varied ?!?
I eventually proceeded in two steps: I first produced a larger DVD folder on the hard disk and then created a 4.7 Gb DVD from it using the Fit-to-disk copy option, but there must be an easier way!
