Burning a Movie File (mpeg) to a DVD

Q:  I just went to burn to DVD an analogue capture from a good VHS tape that 
    was 2:07 long. When I opened Power Producer Express, I had to select Long
    Play to get it on the DVD. The video is not as good as the original VHS 
    tape.
 
    What I used to do with my ATI AIW 8500 was capture it and author to 
    a video file than put it through my Shrink program. I tried and the 
    components of the video file are in a program that my computer doesn't
    recognize. Are there any other capture programs that will allow me to do
    what I want?


A:  There are 3 modes of burning in Power Director:  
        High Quality 60 mins 
        Standard Quality 120 mins 
        Long Play 180 mins. 
    Your capture is 2:07 long, which means you will need to use Long Play 180
    mins (as you already know). If you have a burner that supports dual layer 
    burning and a dual layer DVD disc, then you can double these times for 
    each, enabling you to burn a 2:07 capture using higher quality settings.
 
    As for the 'shrinking' you could edit the capture to make it smaller than
    2 hours. You could edit out the 'intro' and or the end credits of the 
    movie. Sorry, we are not aware of any other programs that can do what you
    want.
