Christmas (aka Holiday) Greetings:
I have recorded several football games on a SA2 TIVO and want to archive them to DVD. I did a test of one game as follows:
The TIVO is connected to an Adaptec hardware mpeg2 encoder via component cables then to the computer via USB2.0. I used WinDVR3 to capture to my hard drive then used Screenblast MovieStudio 3.0 to cut out all the commercials. I then rendered the video in MPEG2 and it came out at almost 8Gb. The game was a bit over 3 hours long. Now I am stuck. I have a single layer drive so I am space limited. My questions are:
1. Is there an easier way?
2. How can I compress or fit the file to a single DVD?
3. Is the file size about right or did I do something wrong to cause it to be so large?
thanks
