What happened to SHRINK TO FIT option

[ridave]

Hi and thanks in advance if you can help ...
I'm new to VS10 ... and had a bit of a problem with my instalation ... (that problem had to do with the fact that auto music refused to work ... but have sinced got that to work by reinstalling VS 10 and ignoring the VS8 client/program that says you need it to install automusic and get it to work...) '
Well, the reason for all the above ... was that before I found out automusic was non-functional I edited a few video files ... and found that their length was slightly larger then 4.7 gb ... obviously you can never get more the 4.1 on a 4.7 dvd disk and could never figure out why... but being so close (to that GB range) when it came time to click BURN ... a new button showed up ... called "SHIRNK TO FIT" ... now that automusic works ... no matter how close to 4.7 (meaning 4.9 5.1, 5.4 GB) that SHRINK TO FIT button has gone away ... disapeared ... vanashed ... and there's no mention of it anywhere in the pdf manual for vs10 ... anybody know what happened to IT ????? sure would save a lot of extra editing and good scenes ending up on the cutting room floor.
Again thanks in advance

...... obviously you can never get more the 4.1 on a 4.7 dvd disk and could never figure out why......

If a GB actually had 1,000 MB and a MB had 1,000 KB and a KB had 1,000 bytes.... then you could get 4.7 GB onto a disc. Unfortunately that is not the case. A GB is actually 1,073,741,824 bytes or 2 to the power of 30. It's a bit of "creative" sizing. hard disc manufacturers do the same , very confusing.

Incidentally, you are slightly off target when you say you can never get more than 4.1 GB onto a disc, it's actually 4.36 GB. Not that that makes much of a difference.

I could wafftle on here trying to explain it, just to get myself confused again better to have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte for an explanation.

Its a pity that for the ordinary guy in the street they don't just put 4.3 on the disc covers/labels/boxes.

It's one of those things that you read and understand the reason why then a hour later you cannot remember it!

Hi

So What happened to Shrink to Fit / Fit & Burn???????

Not that I ever used it!!

But the option was there to re-render your video during the burn process.

I suppose same as rendering a vsp in the burner window. (I’ve never done that either)

Yes I know there can be confusion regarding 4.3 v 4.7Gb but that’s the manufacturers selling you something bigger than your getting.
Is 1K 1000 or 1024.

So What did happened to Fit & Burn in version 10 ???????
