DVDIT / REELDVD help

[anthwork]

Howdy,
Currently having some problems with DVDit and ReelDVD at work... With DVDit, we are attempting to bring a 2hour captured mpeg2 file to DVD-disk. We first of all brought the footage in threw a Dazzle Capture card and placed in mpeg2 format with 8000 bits for video quality. We found out that when importing the 3.9gb file into DVDit, it said the project was too large to export to DVD-r.

I was first of all trying to find a way around this problem. We wanted to fit all of it on one dvd. We had tried lowering quality of the video in dazzle, but only got far poorer quality then was exceptable. We started running out of ideas. I tryed cutting some of the footage down, but still had problems with dvdit.

Can anyone please suggest ideas on fixing this or going around it atleast?

With ReelDVD....
We first of all attempted using reeldvd after having captured in our video footage using Dazzle. When 'importing' it into ReelDVD, we get an error saying "ReelDVD only supports a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio". Right away we thought the size of the footage was wrong and not exactly 4:3. We then attempted changing the mpeg file to be 720x480, 640x480, and some other size schemes with out any luck. Does anyone know the exact frame size that Reel DVD requires footage to be captured in at? Is there any way to get around this?

We need to get these answers as soon as possible... If anyone has any ideas, please let us know asap. Thanks for *any* help.

thanks,

reel dvd

if you want to keep quality and reduce size, cinema craft encoder is good to use, i am working on 2 hours and twenty minutes of footage with respectable quality but i am finding that it becomes jerky after a while, not sure why but will let you know, you should give cinema craft encoder a go, its not cheap but does the job very well

HELP!

I'm trying to make a dvd of a film (25 min) with DVDit 5.0.

EVERYTIME When the program has transcoded the materials and is starting to burn the disc, it says: Could not complete the last command because decoding of audio failed (DVD ERR, -47 007).

I've sent the movie file from avid as it's supposed to
What's wrong with it?
