Compression

[Tom Wolsky]

No good answer without knowing why you what to get it down to that size. Where are you going with this? Where are you trying to get to?

All the best,

Plan on putting it as main feature on a dvd which must include an additional 1-1.5 gig
Thanks

If you’re making a DVD (not a data DVD) then you have to encode it to MPEG-2. Should be able to fit 45 minutes with plenty of room to spare. Use Compressor and try the 90 minute best. The front panel will tell you about how big the file will be.

All the best,

Tom
