I am trying to figure out the best way to archive recordings to dvds. However, at ~2GB per hour, it looks like I can only get about 2 hours per DVD. I would definitely like to get more than this, even if I have to sacrifice a little quality. I have tried converting my recordings to divx using mencoder, and this cuts the size in half, which looks good. I then tried converting the divx file to dvd using DIKO, but this seems to just increase the size back to the original (actually, it's a little larger, but that's probably just due to the additional dvd stuff). The DIKO website mentions getting 10 hours of good quality video on a single dvd. Has anyone been able to get this kind of output? What am I missing?
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for getting more than 2 hours of recordings on a dvd (but still being able to play it in a dvd player)?
Thanks!
