How much video on a finished DVD total?

I'm authoring my first DVD and I don't know how much video each DVD can hold. I'm putting together a seminar that is 18 hours of total video.
How much compressed video can each DVD hold?
On one of the DVD's I plan a slideshow of some 40 pics. The rest of the DVD's will contain video only.
thanks!

Depends on how you compress the footage.
http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_7.php discusses how to calculate the rates
The rates also depends on the type of footage, talking head type video can still look good with lower rates, while race cars will usually be better with higher rates.
Kind of broad stroke - in general 2 to 2 1/2 hours or so can usually look good on a single sided DVD-R but it varies. 2 Should usually be easy to do
There were some threads awhile back discussing all possible ways to squeeze the most onto a disc
One was here and Hal has some good info

  • How Much Video Can Fit on a DVD Burned in Encore???

    Hi there,
    I'm hoping the always helpful adobe community can help me with a question I've had for a while. I am using Adobe Production Suite CS4 and frequently making DVDs in Encore. I am filming with a Canon XH-A1 camera, capturing with HDV Split, and importing the footage into premiere where it is recognized as being .M2T files and 1440x1080.
    I am wondering how much video I can dynamic link into Encore (how long a dvd can be), while maintaining 100% quality? Is there someway to tell within Encore, or is there a rule of thumb on which to go by? How about for Blu-Rays?
    Also, given the answer to the question above, is there a way to make longer DVDs while maintaining the same high quality - such as with Dual-Layers? I don't know much about Dual Layers or much on this topic in general, so any info would be greatly appreaciated.   
    Thanks in advance,
    Aaron

    >Encore (how long a dvd can be), while maintaining 100% quality?
    There is no such thing as 100% quality when you go from HD to the SD that is on a DVD
    Read the Tutorial HD to SD w/CS4 http://bellunevideo.com/tutorials/CS4_HD2SD/CS4_HD2SD.html for ideas
    As to how much you may fit at "high" quality... that all depends on the subject matter
    A soccer game with a lot of fast action will require a higher bitrate setting and take more space than a speaker standing still at a podium
    There is no one answer
    Yes, you may fit more on a dual layer DVD... I think that is discussed in the user guide
    The individual CS5 pages also have links to the CS4 user guide pages

  • How much video (time) should fit on standard DVD?

    Importing from VHS to iMovieDVD then "sharing" to iDVD to Burn to Disc.
    What should my expectations be regarding amount of video on one DVD? It looks like 1 hour of video will fit on the DVD (4.2gb).
    The specs on the DVD says I can record 2hrs at SP but didn't seem to have an option to select prior to iDVD burning to disc.
    Would like to get at least 2 hours on one disc since I'm only archiving video and highest quality is not a requirement.
    Thanks

    Welcome to discussions:)
    Question 9: How much material can a single DVD disc hold?
    Answer: A DVD-R disc can hold about 4.7 GB. This allows up to 120 minutes of high-quality video to fit on a DVD.

  • How much video footage can be in movie for Best Quality

    I made an IMovie with about 1 hour of video and exported it to IDVD.  I added a slideshow with about 150 photos and music - about 15 minutes long.  When I went to burn it to a DVD - it would not allow best quality.  Why?
    Is there a limit to how much video can be procesed as Best Quality?

    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • How can I tell what video card and how much video memory does my iMac have?

    How or where can I find out: which video card does my iMac have and how much video memory does it have? I've tried looking in System profiler, but I did not see it there. Thank you.

    Once you open System Profiler there should be a line called "memory" which is the RAM (vs. hard drive size which is not what is called memory), e.g., Memory: 1.5 GB
    For video click on the line Graphics/Displays and look at the chipset line, e.g., Chipset Model: GeForce2 TwinView
    Kappy's instructions are handy for checking the original configuration of your computer, but that may have been changed at some time, especially if you bought it secondhand.

  • Size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file?

    I'm making an AIR app to play a video locally.  It is on a PC with no internet connection, so the video (fv4) is  included with the air install file.  Is there a size limit for how much  video can be included in an AIR file? I seem to get the "...file is  damaged..." error when I include a video over 200mb. I use Flash CS4 to  create and AIR is v 1.53.

    I'm authoring in CS4 on a MAC with the latest OS and 4GB ram.  It plays fine on the Mac.  On a WIN7 PC with all updates and 4GB ram I get the errors if the air file that contains a video file over 200mb.  I heard that AIR 2 should solve the issue and that it is just a PC issue.. Maybe...   I have not tried using ADT to package the file.

  • How much video record time do I have on iphone6

    how much video record time do I have on iPhone 6

    Your basic limitation is how much free storage space is left on the phone (found in Settings / General / Usage). How much time does each GB equate to depends on how you are shooting. The i6 shoots at 30 fps by default but can be set to do so at 60 fps. Plus you can shoot at regular speed or slow motion. Unfortunately, Apple does not publish exact specs on the device manual, so you'll have to do some test shots and see how much they take and extrapolate from that.
    BTW, the iPhone 6/6+ manual is found here (or you can download it for free in the iBooks app)

  • How much is the single dreamweaver in total?

    If I buy the single App plan with prepaid $239.88/year for dreamweaver cc, do I need to pay the next year? How much is the total of it?

    You would need to continue paying annually, at whatever rate Adobe sets for the year, or switch to a month-to-month plan to continue using the program past the initial 12 months.
    As Nancy mentions, CS6 is the only version available from Adobe on a Perpetual License where you pay once and have the program "forever". Of course that's barring any software/hardware conflict as you upgrade your systems in the future that could potentially kill the program. As noted, there are no updates coming out for that version any longer.
    There hasn't been any word that I've seen on exactly how long CS6 will remain available from Adobe. Chances are relatively good it will go the way of the dinosaurs sooner rather than later though, leaving the subscription as the only way to get Adobe apps.

  • How much video on a dvd

    I have a 2 hour project shot on HDV 60i. I would like to be able to get the whole thing on one DVD. Is there anyway I can do this and what work flow would I need to take. So far I have exported my sequence from Avid Express Pro as a Ref file and imported straight into iDVD to do the encode. I tried a 5 minute piece doing this and it looked great. Unfortunately trying to import 2 hours exceeds the disc space. Is there any other settings I maybe able to use. Any help would be appreciated.

    A few users on this forum have reported success in going a tad over the 2 hr. limit on SL but only by a few minutes max and also by limiting motion menus, slideshows, etc. Frankly I'd prefer using Toast's Fit to Disc if I were limited to a SL DVD-R as opposed to DL media.

  • How much video will a 3GS 32gb record (Minutes?)

  • How much video can be recorded on the new iPad?

    What is the new iPad's video recording capacity?
    Kal

    A better question is to ask what the average data recording rate is.  Based upon that you can calculate whatever limits you desire.
    I've recorded a few short clips, in the neighborhood of 10-30 seconds, and from that and the resulting file size I calculate that 1080p recording requires roughly 2.8 MB/sec, or 168 MB/min, or 10 GB/hr.
    You should be able to figure out whatever you need from that.  Of course, these numbers are based upon the videos I've taken with my new iPad.  YMMV.

  • I am going to Challenge my 3rd Endurance World Record "Unstoppable BMW Challenge" utilizing both the New Ipad and Iphone 4s and I want to ask how much Video recording space is used per minute on both the iphone4s and Ipad2 ?

    Unstoppable BMW Challenge 2012
    I dont yet own the Iphone 4s or the New Ipad hence the question. I would also like to ask what Iphone Apps would the community recommend as essential apps for a Herculeun Guinness World Record Challenge with a view to showcasing a video diary and picture diary whilst the challenge is underway.
    Kindly Simon Newbound

    Seems like you're just advertising and showing off rather than asking a question, but a 16 or 32 3GB iDevice would do for video recording.

  • Finished DVD plays (shows) complete green screen instead of movie for part of the movie

    In Premiere CS4 the movie I made plays fine. In Encore timeline the movie plays fine. Yet when the DVD is burned and then played, part of the movie just shows up as completely green on the screen and then it will stop and the rest of the movie will play fine for a while and then the screen will go all green again. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

  • How much ram can my MBP support?

    First of all, there are two slots for RAM in a MBP, right?
    Is there a limit to how much each can support, and a total limit for both?
    I just discovered an article on DIGG about 8 GB sticks of RAM, and it got me thinking.

    The actual amount of RAM depends on the specific model, since you don't mention that, it's impossible to tell.
    However, I can tell you that currently the most any MacBook Pro supports is 4GB of RAM - two 2GB DIMMs.
    I don't know the Digg article you're referring to, but it's highly unlikely that it's referring to laptop memory. It's likely to be full-sized DIMMs where space and power consumption are less important factors (all laptops use low-profile DIMMs which consume less power and take up less space than DIMMs used in desktop computers).
