Convert video?

I made a couple videos and captured in original DV format or whatever its called. The file was 11gb after it finished. I want to convert it to lower DVD quality video at around 3-5gb. I honestly can't tell much difference between the bigger file a lower quality ones. Might have something to do with me using a low budget camcorder.

Whats the easiest way to do this?
 
I am assuming it is an uncompressed avi file.

I would get 3 tools

1-Goldwave
2-TMPGEnc 2.5
3-DVD2AVI

First open the avi file in goldwave, you should be able to save the audio track as a .wav file, select save and save the audio track

Then open the .avi in DVD2AVI

File > Open>find your .avi > select ok>save project
select a destination and a name. it will be called "insert name here".d2v let it create the file


Open TMPGEnc 2.5, use the wizard

select DVD NTSC > next >video file: browse for your .d2v file > audio file: find the .wav file you created with goldwave > next > next > use the arrow buttons to make the file 95% of the DVD >next> select the destination you want and hit Ok

It will take a while, so I suggest you do this over night

To author to a DVD you will need a DVD authoring program, I would suggest TMPGEnc DVDAuthor 1.6 (TDA 1.6) It is easy to use and make a simple menu

You can find instructions here for DVDAuthor.
