hey guys

ive got some vhs qualit videos from a friend she'd like burned to dvd

problem is i cant seem to get Toast or DVDSP to burn them as 352x240, everything just wants 720x480, causing me to go way over the 4.7gb limit of SL DVDRs

am i missing something??

thanks in advance!

Yeah. The MPEG2 codec wants at least 640x480, preferably 720x480. MPEG 1 can be 320x240. You could burn a Video CD, but that won't necessarily play in all DVD players, and it will look awful.

Thats odd, i swear once upon a time i burned as 320x240..well i know that video CD...but i also know thats only VHS quality, so upscaling what i have now isnt gonna look much different..

i guess ill tinker more. How do those shrink programs work that compress a DL down to a SL? what do they change?
