Hello all:
I think I 'm doing this correctly but please let me know if my thinking is faulty.
I have recorded a show that is 42 minutes long in XP mode on my hard drive. I have two episodes and want to dub them to a DVD-R and maximize the use of the DVD.
I set up a dublist with these two episodes. If I select XP as the record mode, there is not enough room on the DVD. If I select SP, then I'm wasting about 40 minutes of the DVD. So I though if I selected FR, it would take these two episodes and maximize the bitrate to fill the DVD.
First of all, is this the smart way to do it to maximize picture quality or should I just record in SP mode and then dub three episodes to DVD like I have in the past?
When I tried this, the first episode was dubbed to the DVD but the second episode was not dubbed over. I popped out the DVD and could see it appeared to be about 2/3 full. What did I do wrong? I haven't used FR before to maximize the DVD so maybe I set something up wrong. When I selected FR, it showed 6:00 as time available on the DVD but I thought it would fill the DVD with what the amount of material was placed in the dub list up to 6:00.
Your help is appreciated!
