How many minutes of video can I fit onto a DVD 5/DVD 9?
During the Authoring process, the video is encoded as MPEG2. This allows for variable bitrates. The higher the bit rate, the better the image quality and the bigger the file size. One average, a DVD 5 can hold up to 90minutes of video, and a DVD9 up to 180 minutes.

Duplication is when data is burned onto blank CD’s/DVD’s by means of CD/DVD writers. Duplication is a good option for small quantity, quick turnaround orders.
