Anybody other suggestions? > Well you can start by purchasing a DVD writer that can burn double layer DVDs and purchase double layer media to burn it with. Most DVD drives will read double layer media but not many burners will write it. The media also costs a fortune. You must reauthor your DVD. You have 2 choices. First, you can read in the video file and split it in half. Then burn the first have to one DVD and the second half to the other DVD Second you can read it in then use a higher compression rate. Of course this will really degrade the video quality. Ted No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
