I am trying to burn a DVD from the DVD workshop trial version. It says I need 4.0 gb of space and I have 4.4 gigs available but everytime I try to burn it, after about 15 minutes I get a disc space is not sufficient and I can't continue. I tried changing the settings to burn from the 120 minute to the 180 minute and then even tried customizing it to a lower, worse quality setting, nothing works. I am a novice at this. I was using Adobe Encore and found it very erratic and frustrating and then Ulead was recommended. I was initially excited by how easy it is to use and the project looks great when I go to finish, but I can't get it to burn. I want very much to buy this program if I can just make sure that it will work.
My video is coming in from Adobe premiere pro 1.0 through Adobe encoder and I am willing to sacrifice some picture quality to somehow fit it on the DVD. Thanks for any help.
Not enough disc space
Check in the preferences to see where your TEMP files are located. Make sure there's enough TEMP space available for DWS to prepare your dvd.
Are your source files already dvd compliant, or is DWS actually doing the encoding?
In the EDIT STEP, under the VIDEO tab, you see a check box labeled "Convert to disc template" -- is that open, or ghosted? Open means your source files are already dvd compliant, and so DWS will not convert to your disc template settings unless you put a checkmark in that box. If it is ghosted, then your source file is NOT compliant, and so DWS will encode to your project settings. NOTE: there is a similar checkbox under the AUDIO TAB (for your audio).

You might be running out of hard disk space. Workshop may need about 9GB of temporary space in order to render the DVD file.
Try "burning" your project to your hard drive instead of a real DVD:
On the burn screen, uncheck Burn to disc, and check Create DVD folders. Once you have the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders on your hard drive, you can check to see how big they are. And, you can copy them directly to a DVD if they are OK.
It's best to "guess" the correct bitrate and encode once, but you can also use a free program called DVDshrink that will make a more-compressed copy of the file on your hard drive, that will exactly fit on a DVD.
