Hello Alex, You should be able to fit about 2 hours of standard-definition video on a DVD, or about 2 hours of high-definition video on a 25GB Blu-ray disc (I don't know whether Toast 7.1.3 had Blu-ray capabilities), I use Toast Titanium 10 Pro. Did you trim out the commercials before

Toast does indeed allow you to set the quality settings to cram more on a DVD. A few days back I burnt 4 hrs of standard def video onto a dual layer DVD +R without problems using Toast Titanium 7.13. Here's a bit more info from the Roxio forums:

Hi Alex -- -- Yes, most recordings with EyeTV over about 90 minutes are too large to fit on a DVD. Look at the list of Recordings, if more than 4.3 GB they won't fit -- if you open Toast to DVD-Video and drag the recording over to the page, the green quarter-circle above left of the big red

Hi Alex, It takes a little bit of time and requires FFMpegX. Basic steps are: 1. Edit show, if required. 2. Export from EyeTV using MPEG Elementary Streams 3. Using FFMpegX - Mux the two streams back to a DVD (FFMpegX will create a standard DVD Video TS etc.) It will also create an MPEG-II

Hi Alex, BTW: Editing is your best bet with regards to making the show fit on a DVD. Due to the typically inaccurate nature of programming on some channels (7, 9, 10) I have EyeTV set up to record 10 minutes before and 30 minutes after automatically. This usually results in a 4.5Gb file
