  RE: 15fps to DVD with motion frame interpolation?

  RE: 9GB AVI file doesn't need to shrink for DVD5?
  "Why doesn't DVDA need to "fit to Disc" when burning a dvd5? Why does it say it's already 3,405 MB?" This is purely academic because you should not be trying to author a DVD with an AVI file anyway. However, since you ask, you will see that the

  @integrityvideo No, you are definitely not limited to 1 hour on a DVD. You could put as many hours as you want on a DVD disc, you just have to deal with the lower bitrate as you add more, stopping when it starts to not look 'good enough' for you. 4
