I have been converting VCR tapes to DVD with Pinnacle movie box and Studio ver 9.4. I am using mpeg4, but I can only get 60 minutes. On 1 dvd. Is there a different compression I can use to get maybe 2 hours on a dvd.

Thanks
Denny

You need to try reducing the resolution of you captured video.

TV's use a very low resolution of 288x352 so anything higher won't make any difference to play back on TV.

It may be worth capturing directly to your Hard drive and then using a DVD burning app, like Roxio, to reduce the resoultion.
This way you should get more than 60 minutes on each DVD.
