See, I would SEARCH for it, but the ****ing search engine won't let me put in '90'.

GEE AWESOME.

Oh yeah, APPLE! THANKS A LOT! Jerks.

there's an app called Sizzle which is a wrapper for various unix programs that will take one video (mpeg2) and one audio (mp2 or ac3) and author a disk for you to burn. So it can be any length, but you have to encode the video and audio yourself, and you don't get chapters (next version I think), and you don't get menus, and it might get sound sync problems and it might just not work. but it's free

With DVD Studio Pro I've gotten 3 hours of video that still looks pretty good. I could get a little longer, but then the quality drop off becomes much more obvious.

Relax guys. Ca$h is a kind of troll that just likes to stir things up. His been account-slapped more times than I can count. I don't think his post is sincere in the least.

more like thanks to apple, you can make one at all, for free, and it looks great, and you don't have to spend hours creating menus and **** like that. We gave you two other options to squeeze more footage on one disc, and you're still ignoring them, so in fact you are just a troll, and your post wasn't sincere (don't know if you've noticed, but unlike the lounge people post here to solve their problems, not just to rant)

well it's not entirely out of the blue. I know he's been working on home movies about his neon for quite a while...and even if he just gets off on this, it is a common question (why the arbitrary limit), so it's not a total waste to rehash it for future generations that actually can figure out how to use a search engine...
