Using standard quality, one DVD holds 120 minutes of footage. If source will not fit, using next media results is addition of its price and 30% of initiation price.
30% of initiation price is addded also when more sources are copied to one media or when separate titles are created in the DVD menu.

is raised of 5,- CZK, so for one copy the price is 8,- CZK/each next minute.
