I'm not sure this answers your question which I believe is how to compress
the information by slightly lowering the quality? I was frustrated by the
small amount of data on the DVDs so I got a double layered DVD which works
well with my new double layered recorder. Well over 120 minutes of video
with no loss of quality.
What I would like to know is have you installed the latest update to Nero 7
ultra (which has NV4)? Keeps crashing during editing and burning.
