Compression Question
I have a 3 hour timeline which I need to put on to one DVD. It can’t be duel layered. In Compressor it only allows 150 minutes maximum. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance.

Why can’t you burn a dual layered DVD?
The 150 minute compression setting is equivalent to VHS tape in quality. Any more compression is going to look really bad.

Thanks Wayne. You’re right. I convinced the client to break it in to two halves. Thanks again.

That’s good.
But I am still curious as to why you can’t put it on a dual layer DVD.

I would take your 3 hr audio track into compressor and encode it as a Dolby Digital audio file at 128KB/sec. This will reduce your audio track from about 2GB to 180MB. You will then have most of the DVD available for your video.

Alan: If I did that, what setting would you use for the video? Thanks.

You might get away with 3mb/sec for the picture. Try encoding 18 minutes worth and see if the file size comes out to around 400MB, then 10 times that should be about 4GB plus 180MB for your audio and you should be okay.

I’m trying it now. Thanks.
