Windows DVD Maker is limited to 150 minutes. Since most DVDs will record only 120 minutes, that's usually enough.
I use any video converter to convert it to mpeg status to burn as my dvd maker wont make dvd's of anything else for some reason and yes I am computer savvy enough to get where I'm going I just can't find the file to change the time. In answer to other question My dvd recorder hooked to my cable box will record up to 6 hrs. on a 2 hour dvd
I guess that's the trick. You have to rerecord with the video recorder. You lose quality though. Or maybe there is even a way to hook up the recorder to the PC for recording. I have seen equipment that allows the hookup for input to the PC.
yeah I've done that, it is just a waste of dvd's ya know? I was hopin to cut down on the waste! Thx for all the replies!!!
Apparently the recorder uses some different compression to get 6 hours on a DVD. The .vob (Video Object) is the format on commercial DVDs which isn't compressed as much as .mpeg files are.
I can offer an option while it's not a solution to your question.
Use Blu-ray disks and a recorder if possible in your setup. One BD has 25GB and I think would record well over the DVD maker limits.
cool when I can afford it I'll try that appreciate the help!
