Pardon me if this all sounds like a stupid question, or that the answer is obvious. I may be stupid, or may have missed something along the way, but here is my question. Obviously video takes up a ton of space, for instance, I just put together a mini trailer for my own use, and at 2 minutes long, the full quality version is about 1.2 GB. I didn’t compress, I just exported the entire thing as a quicktime file and it’s size was massive.
If I’m going to be making longer items, obviously the file size will be huge. In theory, Id like to make a 60 minute documentary, but my thought would be that it will be a MASSIVE size file, and not able to fit on any normal DVD disc, once it’s finished. If I have to compress, and lose the quality, it certainly wont be as good visually. Basically, my question is this-How do I get a full quality film I’ve cut and edited and pieced together, to a format that can be viewed by the masses? I would think DVD’s wouldn’t have enough capacity-Pardon my ignorance, I’m still trying to navigate through all the technical needs!
