Yes, from what I have been reading, it does seem like MPEG compression
is a lost cause.
I ventured into the GOP sizing options, but that will not reduce the
overall size by one-third. I suppose you cannot make a watermelon the
size of tangerine, if you know what I mean.
I am very happy with the quality of the finished videos and think I
will just copy them to a new DVD since a DVD can hold all of them with
a little room to spare.
Thank you again for your assistance. :-)
