Hi,
thanks for the input. Your proposal works, but is not the solution
that I am asking for.
To explain more: Having a movie of more than 2 hours ... reducing the
quality of the recording (lower bit rate) makes the move fit to a
SL-DVD. This works.
BUT: I am asking for a solution, where I don't change the recording
quality and ONLY take out (by hiding) some pieces in the movie (the
advertisement). If then the length is less then 2 hours, i.e. hidden
parts not counted but still included in the original version, then it
should fit to the SL-DVD.
Any further comments.
Cu.
