| 248234 | 2004-06-28 09:43:00 | Hi. I have a 6.1GB dv file I want to get on to a standard DVD. How can I compress it to fit? Thanks. |

| 248235 | 2004-06-28 11:27:00 | we might need more info..... what DVD writing software do you have?? your DVD autoering program should do the compresion for you..... do you want a DVD of the video or do you want a DVD data disk with the DV file on it?? if you want a DVD data disk with the DV file then you should use a video editing program to compress the file a bit. |

| 248236 | 2004-06-28 14:28:00 | Not sure what "dv compression" is but you could try DVD Shrink 3.1 (not sure that it will work, but it might) | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 248237 | 2004-06-28 14:34:00 | dv format is the standard used when video is transfered/captured to harddrive via a firewire port. | metla (154) | ||
| 248238 | 2004-06-29 08:12:00 | The file was created using ULead VideoStudio V7. It is from a video tape approx. 1.5 hours long. It is probably one of the longer ones to be transferred to DVD. Most of the remaining tapes are less than an hour in length, so I'm assuming they will fit on a DVD without additional compression. We are trying to progressively xfer our home vid collection to DVD. So... how can the files created with ULead be compressed? I can't find any info in the ULead manual on compression. We have DVD Shrink and another program from 321 Studios. I've forgotten what it's called. Will either of them do the job and, of so, how exactly (not too technical, please). Ta. |

| 248239 | 2004-06-29 10:28:00 | The different formats you can encode into are forms of compression. As an example,codec stands for compresser/decompressor,which is why you need the relivant codec on a machine to view video files in different formats,the codec decompresses it on the fly and the decompressed image is played in your media player. Which is also why different codecs/formats give different quality and file sizes,....different methods and level's of compression. Perhaps the easist way is to re-encode the file in the same format but with a lower bitrate...which will remove a tiny amout of data from each frame and give a lower overall file size,You can also lower the audio quality,or lower the resolution of the video or pick an entirlly different format with more extreme compression. Keep in mind you can lower the quality but you can't put it back,encoding into divx for example gives an excellent file size and reasonable picture quality when viewed on a computer screen,but if you then wanted to view it on a tv then it would look fugly as all hell re-encoded into a mpeg format. |

Thanks for taking the time to post all the info Metla, I appreciate you taking the time to pass along info that you had to learn the hard way.
