[MacDV] Re: duplicate archived DVDs

[Mark M. Florida]

Whether you burn with DVDSP 2 or Toast or the Finder, when you burn a 
video DVD it has to be more than 700 MB (I have no idea why) -- so it 
will burn "blank space" on your DVD-R to fill it up that much -- thus 
the extra time.  Even though your 1 minute video is very small, it will 
burn 700 MB on the DVD, and most of it will be empty sectors...  Maybe 
it's a spec for video DVDs that they have a certain number of sectors?  
Anybody know why this happens?
