Hello,
I'm using the Australian Panasonic DMR BWT 700 GL Recorder...
I recorded a TV programme in DR mode, I edited out the TV commercials and it's final length on my DVD Recorder is 43 minutes...
Then I burned it to DVD-R (4.7GB) using FR mode as FR mode is supposed to use up as much disc space as possible from what I thought I understood?, however I have saved the 4.7 GB DVD-R to my computer HD to make a copy for someone, and I noticed the size of the file on my computer HD is only 2.84 GB, as I used FR mode to burn the DR recording to the DVD-R shouldn't it have used up as close to 4.7 GB as possible, rather than just 2.84 GB?
*It seems to be a lot of space not used.........
So I checked out a couple of other discs, I have a programme on my DVD Recorder recorded in DR mode which is 3hours:18minutes, I burned that to a 4.7 GB DVD-R in FR mode and ripped to my computer, the size on my computer HD is 4.02 GB, I also burned the same 3hours:18min DR recorded programme from my DVD Recorder to a dual layer 8.5 GB DVD-RDL using FR mode and ripped to my computer HD is 7.61 GB.
Is this normal?, isn't the purpose of burning to DVD-R in FR mode to fill up as much of the discs space as possible?
Shouldn't 43minutes of DR recording fill up much more than just 2.84GB of a 4.7GB DVD-R?
Thanks
