I'm using Power2Go 6. I don't seem to have the option to burn any more than 60 minutes onto a dvd. My guess is that I need to adjust the write speed, but the only option I see in the drop-down menu is Maximum. I'd like to be able to fit a feature-length film on a dvd, and don't understand why I can't adjust this.

Hi Curt,

I would suggest that you uninstall and reinstall Power2Go 6, the maximum speed is going to be what your burner max speed is, but you should have the option to change this. I can change speed from 8 to 6 or 4 or 2.4.
You have clicked on the down arrow haven't you?

We can burn DVD's in three qualities i.e. DVD HQ(High Quality), DVD SP(Standard Quality) and DVD LP(Low Quality).

i) DVD HQ : Has resolution of 720 X 480 in NTSC TV format and 720 X 576 in PAL TV format and video bitrate of 8000K. This option lets you burn 60 min. of high quality video content onto the 4.7 GB DVD.

ii) SP (Standard Play) : Has resolution of 352 X 480 in NTSC TV format and 352 X 576 in PAL TV format and video bitrate of 3400K. This option lets you burn 120 min. of video content onto the 4.7 GB DVD.

iii) LP (Long Play) : Has resolution of 352 X 240 in NTSC TV format and 352 X 288 in PAL TV format and video bitrate of 1750K. This option lets you burn 180 min. of video content onto the 4.7 GB DVD.

Power2Go always burn the DVD in HQ quality and do not provide any option to change it. So, it always burn 60 min of video. It has nothing to do with speed.

Other burning software of CyberLink provide you option to change the HQ, SP and LP.

Robert--sorry if I didn't put my question well.

Ashly--that's exactly what I was trying to ask about. So which software permits SP and LP burning? I got the whole suite--is it Producer?

Yep.

You will get that option in PowerProducer software. You can check it in the preferences section and set it before burning.

Hi Curt,

Sorry, it had been a long day, up 20 hours, it was your heading that was confusing and I misread your issue.
Ashly is correct

Dear Curt,
You may burn Video in SP or LP quality by simply import more than 60 minutes of video, the capacity bar will change to 120min which represent SP. And if you continue to import more video over 120mins the capacity bar will then change to 180min which represent LP.
Have a try and see
