Hello Everybody,
I am trying to create a custom Video DVD with Roxio DVD Builder. I have
three lenghty home made movies with 352x240 resolution. I don't want to
increase resolution as it will make the videos blurry. So I set the custom
screen size for recording DVD.
If I copy all these videos into a Data DVD, I still have some empty space on
it. But When I create a Video DVD without changing the resolution of videos,
I can hardly copy one video. Why is it so? Are *.vob files usually bigger
than *.mpg or *.mpeg files (like in case of *.bmp and *.jpg images)?

Thank you,

This depends on the authoring program your using, many, almost certainly the
one your using re-encode the video files before making the .Vob files set.

If the files are DVD compliant - then the best program to use would be
TmpGenc DVD Author, it does not re-encode video, and does an fast job of
making the Vob file set. If they are not complaint, then you'll have to
encode em anyway.

Yes, Roxio almost always re-encodes. I think the only time I've seen it not
is when using it to burn VCDs using compliant movies.
