1.03mb is in what format (dv or mpeg2). To tell you the truth, that doesn't even sound like vcd quality. I know when I capture one minute video in mpeg1 format for GOOD vcd is 19.4mb/minute. mpeg2 format for dvd is 55mb/minute (BEST quality). As you can see, the number tell the story.
Creating a movie in premiere with desent quality and resonable size is my problem. I take a DV from my camcorder, compress it, reduce quality to ~75-80%, 32kbit audio quality and a 7m50s video ends up taking 1.03 Mb and quality isn't that great. What do you do to get as close to dvd quality and be able to stuff 2 hrs on a dvd.
