A standard movie DVD requires MPEG-2 video, so that's
why MyDVD has to re-encode it. Unless you're using the
deluxe version of MyDVD, which includes AC3 audio
compression, you will only be able to fit approximately
1 hour of video on a DVD.
And you are correct. It makes no sense at all to
re-compress the video prior to importing into MyDVD.
You'll get the best results if you leave it in DV-AVI
format.
