Preserving my films

Post by nileo6 »

Ok so My computer is practically dying from all of the memory ive taken up for my videos, and i want to just burn them all onto dvds so my comp will go faster. But, i want to be able to store my videos that ive worked my butt off to make in the best quality possible. I don't care how many dvds it takes i just want to preserve them on dvds instead of leaving them on my computer.
ANY help would really help

Here are formats for most of my videos
Size:720 x 480
Frame rate: 29.97.
I exported them as a Microsoft DV AVI which opens with real player, quicktime, windows media.
And they are about 1024k per/sec. which is about 2 GB for every 10 min or so

Ok if they are in DV format then just write the avi files to DVDR. That equates to about 22mins per DVD. If you are paranoid like me you will write them to 2 DVDs and store in separate locations :)
