[MacDV] Re: More than 90 minutes

[Gerhard Kuhn]

I just took a look at what I did and it was more complicated than I 
remembered.  I had taken the video and made a QT movie reduced the 
frame rate to 15 per second, size 352 x 240.  I had done this to 
approximate what Eye TV would be like to watch on  my Powerbook.  This 
is the file that I dragged into Toast and it encoded and burned the DVD 
which is less than VHS quality.  But it did fit on the DVD and Toast 
encoded it without problem.  I still have the file so I dragged it back 
into Toast and the blue graph in the lower right shows using more than 
75% of disk for 149 minutes.  Sorry that I misled you but I did not 
remember all the experimentation that I had done in mid October.
