Re: Nero Patch

It took around 2 hours to burn a 2 hour 10 minute movie. Since a standard DVD will only hold 2 hours, it had to "squeeze" the quality a bit. Since I didn't start out with the Best quality in the first place, the result would be somewhat less than Better.

I'll try it again, with some of the other stuff I've got recorded and see how it does.
