newbie questions

Yes but we're talking about a kids talent show, making copies for all the 
parents.
Each video could be JUST the 5 min. or so for each family, but each would 
then be a custom job, no a duplication job with a master VHS or DVD file. 
sigh...

bottom line everyone want to seee their precioussss--


BTW our iDVD shows only 60 mins possible on a DVD disk. What's all this about 
a 90 min limit?

I would suggest that your son learn the fine and tedious art of 

editing. Even without seeing the video I am fairly certain it can be 

edited. I am certainly no pro. I once did a video that was only 18 

minutes long for my office and one of our engineers decided they could 

use it in a presentation at a national convention. The only problem was 

he didn't want it to be any longer than 9 minutes!!!


He reviewed the video several times and then told me what should be cut 

out. I didn't agree initially but decided i wanted to have my video 

shown so I did what he said and kept at it until it went from 18 to 15 

to 12 to 10 to 9 to finally only 8 minutes. Now if you viewed the two 

videos you would say that the first 18 minute video had too many shots 

that were just too long. The final version is much smoother. It won an 

award! >>
