Burn 10 GB of film to DVD - so it'll work
If you want to burn a very long film with around 10 GB onto a DVD, this does not work straight away. We'll show you different ways that you can still use.
Burn film with 10 GB onto a DVD - there are possibilities
- A normal DVD holds a total of 4.7 GB, it is also called DVD-5. However, there are also the somewhat less well-known types DVD-9, DVD-10 and DVD-18. These are described on both sides and therefore hold 8.5, 9.4 and 17 GB.
- Such blank DVDs are also much more expensive. Better, on the other hand: At around 50 cents each, BluRay blanks are comparatively cheap. A common BluRay holds 25 GB, but the burner in your computer and your DVD player must fundamentally support BluRays.
- If that doesn't suit you either, the film can simply be cut into several parts or reduced in resolution. So the 10 GB film also fits on one or two normal DVDs. This can be done for free and quite simply with the "Freemake Video Converter" software. The video instructions in the video will help you.
In the next practical tip, we will show you how to legally copy copy-protected DVDs.
