I am creating my Movie in Vegas Movie Maker, and have 1 hr 31min so far edited, When I went to render it and burn off a copy to watch my progress it wont go, because it is up to 5.7 instead of the alotted 4.7 on standard DVD.

On previous editing systems I have used it would decrease the quality to fit a full 2 hours on the DVD..just needing a little help on how to do this?

Thanks.

What takes a long time is printing designs on the discs!

Yes, and the CD inserts. However, I really don't want to skip that part, because it is part of the value I provide, and which, to some small degree, makes people want to order extra copies from me, rather than simply make their own copies.

Actually Best Buy had those on sale for $1.50 each around a week or so ago Paul. They were in 20 packs for $29.95 You should keep your eyes open for sales like that then go wipe them out.

Keep an eye on dealnews for anything media related.
For costs on printing, assuming you can get & maintain a working setup, external tanks for short runs works well if you DIY.

John, I think the cheaper ones were only 2.4X, wheras I believe I paid $40 for 15 for 8X media. Anyways I bought both, but I'd almost rather pay more for the faster burn speed. P.S. On my burner the first layer always burns 2.4X while the second layer only averages about 5X.
