DVD Recording

Options
We have to record training sessions in work. Up till now we've been using a normal video camera plugged into a VHS recorder.

We've decided to go digital. How much does a typical DVD hold. Our training sessions last for 2.5 hrs. If we used a camera fed into a DVD recorder would this last for 2.5 hrs.

Also are there any cameras that hold a DVD that would record for 2.5 hrs.

Thanks

    Depends on the quality that you select, you can get up to eight hours of video on one single sided DVD.

    An example;

    "500 Line Horizontal Resolution in LP Mode Panasonic DIGA technologies always ensure the highest quality of recordings even in Long-Play (LP) mode. Conventional recorders reduce horizontal line resolution when using LP mode. The DMREZ25 maintains the full 500 lines horizontal resolution in LP mode, allowing four whole hours (not just two) of recording to be put onto a standard DVD without sacrificing picture quality from the best quality XP mode.

    Thanks for that. I think we'll go for a decent camera and a DVD recorder and record straight to disc.
