Compression Options

Together, the ConvertX and WinDVD Creator support many different
MPEG-1, 2, and 4 and DivX compression profiles for incoming video.
WinDVD Creator supports an expanded set of these formats for output,
too. How much you can fit on a DVD or CD? Storage rates vary based
on the capacity of the disc, frame size and selected resolution. See the
tables on page 54 in Appendix A to help you decide what compression
and media to use.
