That would work, but for very little money now days you can get a Dual Layer burner (internal or external) and use Dual Layer Disks which is what the DVD video industry uses on those LONG movies. My D/L is external (USB of course) and I have burned a couple thousand D/L disk or so. Been using it for about 6 years now. It is in it's second case however. This one has internal fans.

I use D/L when my video goes over 1 hour 50 minutes. No one has ever had a problem reading them, that would be the 8.5 gb option in create disk.

Hi,
I have a Double layer burner and a Blu-ray burner, but I am contemplating that some of the recipients of the DVD when compiled may not have Blu ray player, and even a double layer DVD may not be suffice...so I was planning ahead for the actual
worst case scenerio...LOL

I have learned from experience that anything over 2 hours people lose interest. Even when it is about them. (Events, weddings, whatever) Even pushing 1 1/2 hours is a stretch for attention span. But you can get 1 1/2 hours on a standard DVD.

For me there is no Blue Ray (HD) audience here. (town of 5000) and the local DVD renter is going to stop getting in Blue Ray as he never rents them to anyone. Some people have HD with their satellite but not a lot, even though I have 7 HD capable TV's in the house, I do not do anything HD, except on my desktop computer and laptop.

Hi Bubba,
Thanks for the replies and comments/suggestions! I appreciate them. MY past experience 6 years ago with a 50th anniversary compilation was a real labour task every one sent there personal videos snapshots etc and I produced DVD incorporating the images/videos on an old computer. It took me forever to render the final output.
I am hoping with my new system I can eleviate a lot.

This doesn't necessarily answer the question, but it might help. I recently did a video that was too long for one disc. I put the main event on one disc and then put the photos, secondary videos, etc on a second disc and labeled it 'Bonus Material'. Might solve the need to link the disc in sequential order. __________________________________
