Video Quality and Disc Size Sonic MyDVD includes four DVD video quality (bit-rate) settings, and a Fit-to-DVD option that can be applied to a video project or to individual movie files. The DVD quality settings are: ■ HQ (High Quality) - Best audio and video quality, but requires the most disc space per second of video. Good choice for video files that contain high-speed action (for example, motor sports). ■ SP (Standard Play) - Good audio and video quality with most video sources. ■ LP (Long Play) - Fits approximately twice as much video onto a DVD as HQ. Not recommended when the original video is low-quality or noisy. ■ EP (Extended Play) - Fits the most video onto a DVD, but video quality is low. Not recommended unless the original video is very good quality. ■ Fit-to-DVD - As you add more content to the project, MyDVD reduces the project quality automatically to fit the selected disc size. Fit-to-DVD is the default setting for new projects. n rYioguhtc.an record the same file on a disc at each different speed to compare the results.
