I don't know what good to burn as highest if the file isn't highest.. or
you can't take $10 to the bank and ask to exchange for $10,000

Back to your question, right now the highest if HD, I don't know any other
supports HD quality, but I know TDA (TMPGenc DVD Author) v3.x does.

joe,

i checked out TMPGenc DVD Author. it runs only on windows. is there a
similar application that runs on linux? i have a file size that's 22 G
and i don't know if i can take this to windows. isn't their filesize
only goes up to 4 G?

I can only answer the second question:
The NTSF file system, for example with Windows XP, handles larger
files. The 4GB limit is with FAT32.

Some 32bit software still has that limit even though
NTFS files do not.

I am not Linux user so you should know much more about Linux than I am. By
standard (I may be off a little somewhere).

- DVD has limited the file size to either 2GB or so. I am 100% sure it
won't be >4GB (not even 3GB)

- DVD standard the VOB size limits to 1GB. And the DVD Author should divide
the larger size to its standard size.

The file saze of Windows will depend on the format either FAT, FAT32, or
NTSF which I don't remember the exact size (you can GOOGLE for info).

There's no problem handling video files of 22GB on XP with NTFS - typical
file size off my local HDTV is 15GB for a MPEG TS format.
The problem the OP has is to decide how to downscale to DVD definition
standard. Maybe he could use as a starting off point HDTVtoMPEG2 this will
reduce the resolution to 576i. Then any DVD authoring program should be able
to make the vob files within the VIDEO_TS folder etc but still the overall
size may be too large to burn so then use DVDShrink to bring it back to
4.3GB. Maybe the project should be split over 2 or 3 DVD's? All of this is
Windows, don't know about Linux.

I am talking about DVD *not* OS. And you can try to copy any file >5GB to
DVD see if it works or not.

The DVD standard doesn't care about the size but the resolution and
britrate. So the 22GB AVI may fit onto single 4.7GB DVD, it may require
4DVDs, or may even fir onti 1/2 of the DVD-5

Yes, DVD-Shrink can compress the oversize to fit onto DVD-5, but it may
refuse to shrink larger than 40-50%. About the SIZE, example if you try to
convert few hundred Megs to RAW AVI then it may end up with few hundreds of
GIGs.

P.S. it seems like the OP is dead or something?
