I redid the QT conversion to mpg 2 in Compressor, and was able to do TWO 90 minute shows in 3 hours or so (instead of 20 hours for one - don't know what happened).
Both exports were set for Best 120 min. 16:9, and One Pass CBR. The average bitrate for one was set at the default 5.0 and yielded a file size of 3.43 GB, the second, the average bitrate of 7.7 resulted in a 5.29 GB file size. I imagine the first will fit on a single layer DVD, the second on DL. I'd rather do the first if nothing is terribly compromised. This is a filmed play with very little fast action.
Meaning:
The DVDs are for non-commercial use. There will be a total of 10 DVDs made. Will the difference in the bitrates I used be noticeable, or rather not that noticeable?
