Looks like I missed the original post of this one, but since there
weren't any other responses online: 1024 x 728 is *way* too big for
DVD format. I don't have my notes in front of me, but I think you'd be
better off downsizing the video to one of the valid DVD formats, i.e.,
720x480. This would also help with the capture size. And if SnapzPro
will let you capture directly to mpeg format that would save you the
pain of image conversion as well.
