Image quality and Rec time

[newport_j]

In a previous post concerning using IMBBRN and DVD Flick combination, I was told that IMGBRN always makes room for the files you a putting on (burning on) DVD. That is fine, but what about a dual layer disk? How does it (IMGBRN) know whether to go to the next layer? Do you have to tell it; by it I mean the software.

 

Also, if I download a 30 minutes program made in the fifties (from Youtube) and burn only it to a single layer DVD it will take up all of the disk. What a waste of space! If I burn two 30 minutes programs on a single layer disk that is more efficient usage of the disk and I bet that I will suffer no loss of quality, and likewise if I burn three 30 minute programs. At some point the quality (image quality) starts to fall off since I am trying to squeeze a lot programs onto a 4.7 GB single layer disk. What is this point? I thought on a prerecorded store bought disk that a two hour color movie what about 4.7 GB or the space available on a single layer DVD blank. I am assuming that store bought DVD's have the highest quality images.

 

I am not so sure now. My single layer DVD blanks say that for 1 hour of highest quality last fr only 1 hour on a single. I want high quality, but I want to avoid wasting space.

 

You can never do better than the original quality of the program.

 

Please help. Thanks in advance.

DVD Flick uses ImgBurn for the burning part, so you really should be asking that question in DVD Flick's forum.
