When needing to a produce a video that will not fit onto a DVD, I first produce a video file (MPEG), then use a converter to convert from MPEG to WMV. I have had a lot of success doing it this way. I use a program named
iWisoft Free Video Converter to do my conversions.
Then using the WMV file, I make a final DVD production with the menus.
I recently shot 7 hockey games, each period has an official 20 minutes time - but with penalties, fights, goal scoring and injuries the 20 minutes can then extend to up to 30 minutes for that period, thus making the game video longer than 60 minutes.
The video w/ menu and trying to put it onto a DVD failed, it was bigger than a regular DVD could take. This was the case for all 7 games. So I took these converted videos of a WMV file, brought the WMV file back in and finished making a DVD with menus as well. Quality of the video, to me, was not lost.
Hope this makes sense. It did while I was typing it, but who knows now after the typing has been done.
Just a thought.
