Thanks for the help. The Win2000 software that came with the Hauppauge PVR only outputs in MPEG2 and these DVD standard/long/Xlong play and SVCD formats. Might it be possible to use other software to read the data from the Hauppauge converter? Any suggestions? (also, the Win2000 software does allow me to change bitrate for recording, if that would help).

Also, VMS can output to .avi. I assumed that since the AVI files were so much larger than the MPEG2 files, that my disc size problem would be even worse.

So, you are suggesting (w/o purchasing new software) to take the MPEG2 file from the Win2000, open it in VMS edit and render to AVI or render to AVI then edit and render again to AVI? Then let DVDA ‘fit to disc,’ yes?

Also, i didn’t see anywhere in VMS to change bitrate, only in DVDA.

Thanks,
Scott
