4 hour timeline

[brownhood]

In bringing clips to the timeline for a project I'm working on, I find myself with 4 hour and 20 min. of footage in my timeline....all footage I have to keep. After some editing I plan to put this all to DVD. I know I will need more than 1 DVD when time to burn. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this seperation... e.g. have 2 timelines, etc... these clips are mostly interviews.... if that helps
Thanks

Ummm two time lines, you just answered your own question. Start a new sequence with the same settings and copy and paste the new stuff into it, delete from old timeline then you are good to go.

Wow - I'm surprised that it plays back without dropping frames at that length. Off topic question: are you playing back at "Full Quality"?

Thanks nic..... just a thought....... everything that I've burned in the past has been about 1hr. or less.... without ever needing to do it, i imagine that i have a 2hr. max on a DVD.... so with a 4 hr. and 20 min footage timeline, I'll need 3 dvd's and 3 timelines?
Cyclone, RT is unlimited RT in full quality, audio is not at full though..... and yes I'm getting some drop frames if try to watch all the way through.
