DVD Recording Time
The following table lists the approximate DVD-Video recording time for different disc
sizes at different video quality settings (your DVD recorder may not support all these
disc sizes).
• The video quality depends on your PC’s speed and graphics processing
abilities. Some PCs may be unable to capture video at the HQ setting.
• These are estimated recording times. The maximum duration is reduced if you
use animated menu buttons or backgrounds.
• To choose the audio format, see “Changing the audio format (DVDs only)” in
the online help.
• Your version of MyDVD may not support Dolby Digital audio. See the online
Help for details.
