I have over 7 hours of family film footage covering twenty some years. I already am trying to burn them to four separate DVD's. I may look at reducing each to an hour and thirty minutes per DVD. That would only add one extra to burn.
I have no idea what type TV will be used as I am making a few copies for different family members that all have different TV's. I thought someone here once recommended to output at 480 and 4.3 for this type of work. I may have misunderstood the suggestion. I understand the 4.3 ratio and that has worked better for editing, etc.
4:3 may be the best format, because I seem to remember most film formats in the olden days was 4:3.
Film is an interesting media, because you can digitize film in pretty high resolution if you have the right Digital conversation. What you have is very dependent on what equipment was used to transfer from film to Digital Video.
I am going to transfer the same video to my computer at 1080 and see what the difference is.
Regarding the burning to dvd, any ideas? What is meaning of the error number?
Thanks for the help.
Those error numbers are very often a mystery to everybody except the programmer that put them in the Program.
Mostly we guess what they mean by what caused the error.
I think you may have answered that question when you said your were trying to put too much on a DVD DL disk. (Maybe the error is Disk Full).
If you reduce the amount of Video you are tying to Burn to the Disk, and you do not get the error, that is as good an answer as any.
