DVD Author Plus will automatically convert your original video file into the video DVD format that will work on any DVD player.
Sometimes your original file may be longer in length than what will normally fit on a standard DVD. Change the quality setting on the right panel of the Storyboard to get a longer recording time. The default Good Quality mode will allow you to record about and 1 hour and 30 minutes of video. Change the setting to Standard Play for 2 hours of video or to Long Play for 3 hours of video on your DVD.
