What's the progress on this george? Did you pick up the software?
I almost forgot how long it really takes to get a movie on dvd. I'm making one right now using nero.
1. Open up nero and get my mpeg into the storyline thing.
2. Clip the movie to start and stop where I want. (It was a tivo recording
) A few minutes.
3. Setup the chapters. I did 24 of them, around 5-7 minutes apart or so. It would suck to have to hit the fast forward button to find a certain part of a movie. 5 minutes.
4. Setup the menu. To save time I setup 1 menu. It's a simple template built into the software. It has the title of the film and 1 button. When you click on the little picture the movie plays. 5 minutes.
5. Begin recording process. Estimated time? LOL, 5 1/2 hours! This is how long it takes to convert a movie (mpeg in my case) to DVD specs and then to record it. It's also using the 2 pass method, which takes extra long so there's less chance of a screw up and a wasted dvd.
I use dvd+r because when I bought them, they offered faster recording speeds. 16x vs 8x. I have a 16x dvd burner.
My computer is freaking crawling right now. Aw well.
