I thought I was going to have no problems, until I began reading deeper into help files for the nuts and bolts of "how to...." But now I need some clarifications. Maybe you can help me.
I am using an ATI AIW9600 with the Pinacle 8 that came with it. I have 60 GB to capture to, and a 3Ghz P4 with 512MB, which seems enough horsepower to do what I need (move my VHS home movies to DVD for permanence).
After figuring out that the 60 Gb is good for about 30 minutes (and I agree that 20 minute vinnettes are probably best), now I'm wondering about getting the hour's worth of media onto the DVD.
Where I'm going with the question is: to burn an hour long DVD, how much disk space would I REALLY need? - Can the process be done in chunks that can be assembled with the menu stuff before or as the burning process is imminent?
The reason I ask is that the only CD burning I've done has been data files, and I was under the impression that creating a music disk (for example) I would need to have all the music files arranged just so, before burning to avoid fouling up the target disk. This being a much larger project, I don't want to have to re-do everything several times to get it right.
More questions are inevitable...
Thanks!
