Hello ... I've been successful in burning a DVD (thanx to this newsgroup!)
yet with a low recording quality - LP - using SonicRecordNow. If I'd like to
select "fit-to-dvd" a 2 hour or 2+ hour program onto a 4.7Gb DVD+R disc
without lowering my recording quality to LP, should I upgrade to the newer
version as recommended by Sonic (MyDVD8); or research DVDShrink, Nero, Roxio,
PowerDirector, etc. BTW, I am using a Dell 9100 Dimension computer Windows
XP with MCE. There's so many options out there (as there are so many threads
relating to this subject), but I'd like to get a suggestion or direction
which way to go. I don't want anything complicated or will cost me a high
investment.

thanx!
 
Try downloading WM encoder 9 series,run the file thru the encoder before
burning to a dvd.
 
Hello again,

I'm unfamiliar with the term "encoding". In the other threads I've
researched where you've responded, you gave gave steps/advice on how to go
about resolving their issue. Can you do that for me too? I'd really
appreciate it. Will I be converting a file over to get the better quality
recording?
 
Hello Andrew E,

I've downloaded the WM encoder 9 series as you suggested but am at a lost as
what to do from there? Will the end result allow me to burn onto a DVD a
better recording quality? Can you please give me specific instructions on
how to run my file through the encoder before burning to a DVD?

Also, since my burning software is Sonic, what are your thoughts that I
upgrade my current Sonic software to include the capability of getting a
better recording quality DVD? I've heard many suggestions to use DVDShrink,
Roxio, Nero, WinDVDCreator, etc. I'm thinking of sticking with Sonic (since
I've been successful in burning a DVD there), but would like your
feedback/suggestions.

Thank you.
