    hi i hope anyone can help me in this feature
    i have a r leadtek winfast pvr tv card
    i have transfer many vhs straight to dvd and most of the vhs tapes movies where about 95 minutes long,so in this case is not a problem it burns perfect and plays it perfect on any stand alone dvd player,my problem is that i cannot figure it out, i cannot put any movie from vhs that is longer than 95 minutes ,it will only record straight to dvd for 95 minutes,and i t will not compress the rest for example a 150 minutes vhs tape,
    i know someone of you is more expert and have more knowledge in this matter can you please help resolve this issue.tanks

    I don't know about the leadtek winfast pvr tv card. But, are you sure you have enough free hard disk space?

    It depends a lot on your capture settings (capture resolution, bit rate, etc.) but for example, to capture 95 minutes of full resolution .mpg I think you would need 3-4 GB of free space on your drive. To capture 155 minutes you would want at least 6-7 GB of free space. Do you have enough space on your drive?

    yes sir i do have 2 hardrives lots of space 200 gb each and half is free,i am thinking that something that i am doing wrong it is probably the bitrate ,or the capture settings needs to be change,but i am not sure i installed and i left the way it was originally,
