I have burned a perfect BluRay disc of a (nearly) 2 hour school play but I'm having problems doing the same with DVD, from HD.
I think combing is the fault, and I've already decided that I have to use 2 DVD's to keep the compression as small as possible.

I tried Power2GO and inadvertently burned the discs in the DVD data Mode, BUT the quality was exactly what I wanted, but of course it plays on Windows Media Player but won't play on most DVD players or even Cyberlink Power DVD.

Question, what goes wrong when I burn to DVD-Video, OR what goes right when I burn to DVD-Data, AND is there a way of making use of the answer.

Getting desperate I downloaded a trial of Nero Burn, to find that it would not burn Video files directly and someone pointed me at the AVS4You Video conversion software trial. All within the space of an afternoon these downloads produce as near perfect a DVD as I would wish - and that after a month or more of trying every conceivable piece of encoding the Cyberlink software could muster, and trying the burn on every programme on the computer.

Looking through the DVD threads in the Forum the elements leading to the questionable quality of the final DVD is clear.

Have I found the answer, or even, an answer ? I'd love to hear from anyone who has found 'THE' answer.

If I have found it I would be pleased, very pleased to report.
