Make a judgement on how long you think the ceremony and speeches are likely to be. All the other events of your day tend to be short by comparison to these two events.
Small to Medium / Shorter Weddings
If your wedding is a small affair with a civil ceremony or a condensed traditional ceremony, it's a fair certainty that everything will fit onto single discs without radical cuts (Classic or De-Lux HD Packages). From experience, speeches also tend to be shorter at smaller weddings.
Medium to Large Weddings
If it's a larger wedding with a longer traditional ceremony, it usually follows that the speeches will also be longer. As a general rule everything takes longer at a larger wedding.
Couples always tend to underestimate the amount of time it takes to do everything. Photoshoots tend to be longer, line-ups etc.etc. If a condensed edit of your day is not your preference, it's probably a better option to go with the Twin Disc Packages (Premium or Ultimate).
Both of these options ensure that everything will fit onto the twin discs in it's entirety without any need for radical cuts. Usually you'll also have enough room left on disc two for good bit of the dancing as well.
Can you not cut to fit? I don't want twin disc sets...
Regardless of the length or ceremony, speeches and all the other events of the day, if you don't mind everything being cut to fit onto single discs, it certainly can be done. A DVD will hold about 1 hour 50 mins.
So if the ceremony is an hour long and the speeches last 45 mins, expect there to be some cuts in order to fit on all the other sequences of your day as well. Some couples do prefer a more condensed approach to the editing, whilst others tend to want as much coverage of their day as possible.
What about HD Blu-ray Discs?
It's inevitable that DVDs will end up like VHS tapes - it's just a matter of time. Blu-ray is the 'super DVD' giving you 5 times greater picture quality.
Your wedding video is something you'll want to keep for many years to come, but unfortunately technology moves on at a furious pace. If you still want to be watching your wedding in ten years time, Blu-ray is globally accepted as the 'Future Proof' choice.
Blu-ray players can now be purchased for as little as £80. You can also play them on a Playstation 3. All HD packages also come with standard DVDs, which friends and relatives may still prefer.
