I'm working on a DVD that will total around 100 mins. Should I just use 2 discs? I would really prefer this on one, but not if its going to lose significant amounts of quality. Even changing the audio to ac3 instead of pcm the first part of the dvd which is roughly 60mins is still 3.7 gigs which will not leave enough space for the other part of the video which is just under 50mins.
The default setting for video bitrate on the program im using (dvd archietech) is set at 8mbps. How much lower if any can I go before the quality drop is significant? I've searched around for the "standard" dvd bitrate but everything just keeps saying its variable or to adjust it to allow your video to fit on the dvd.
I'm starting to think using 2 discs is the best option, and I'm starting to realize how bad of a format dvd can be when you can only fit an hour of top quality on it.
If only I waited for double layer...
