FILE TOO LARGE FOR DISC

herman · Post by **herman** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 11:01 pm

I'm making a movie with 30 short clips. When I go to share, it shows 7.83 (7.29)GB in Blue, then there's yellow and red. On the right side, it shows 1hr. 48 mins. which should be about the amount of time of my clips. I can't find anything in tutorials or the time I've spent online and here, looking for the answer. I removed 1 clip to see how much it would reduce it and it was only .22 gig. I'm not sure what I'm NOT getting here. In disc template manager, I tried to click to SP mode but that doesn't seem to make any difference HELP, PLEASE.

Read this http://phpbb.ulead.com.tw/EN/viewtopic.php?t=8959 and come back with the required detail.

There is no such thing as SP with DVD, it spins at a certain speed

The bitrate determines the size of the file.

I didn't realize my question was so complex. I certainly know there isn't SP in DVD. I simply told you what I read and where I read it. I read the link you sent me to and have yet to find a post on this board that includes all that info. I'm just a newbie, trying to learn. You never were? Itried to be as clear and concise as I could be. The only thing I knew to say but didn't, was that I'm working in version 9. If there is a particular question I can answer that would help you help me, all you have to do is ask.

Instead, you could tell us what you did with what and how, that might get us going. If you can't be bothered to fill in some details in your profile and give at least the properties of your clips and your project settings, I can't be bothered asking questions to find this out, sorry.

The people on this board are not getting paid for their efforts. They are volunteering their spare time. Surely, you could be volunteering some of yours.

Yes, I was a newbee like you once and it wasn't all that long ago. I stated all the facts I knew about what I was doing and on which equipment and help was usually swift and to the point.

Thanks Steve. Your links gave me exactly what I needed. I changed the MPEG setting which is what I was trying to do right from the start. However, I don't find switch to dolby under compression. I don't have time now but will update my computer info. next time I'm here.

If your version of Video Studio has SE after it, then I am afraid it won't include the Dolby codec for licensing reasons. SE versions are free and Dolby requires a licensing fee for each use of its codec. Companies of course won't shell out the fee if they are giving the SE version away free...

Thanks Ken. Would you recommend using MPEG or LCPM, or does it even matter?

LPCM is the rock standard audio for DVDs. High quality but the price is relatively large file size, meaning you can squeeze less video onto the disc.

MPEG layer 2 audio is very much smaller, around the same size as Dolby AC-3 dual channel stereo. Quality is much the same (i.e. quite good). The only negative about mpeg layer 2 audio is that it is not part of the NTSC DVD standard, though curiously enough, it is part of the PAL standard. However, if you are in an NTSC country, unless you and your friends and family have very old DVD players, this is unlikely to be a concern as most (all?) modern NTSC players appear to have no trouble with it.

Bottom line: if you are only doing an hour of video, then LPCM is the way to go. But if you place greater importance on having more video on a disc, use mpeg audio. The quality is still excellent and it means that usually you can squeeze up to 10 or 15 minutes more video onto the disc.

Or upgrade to VS10+ if you want to produce DVDs using Dolby 5.1 channel audio...

sjj805,

I was reading this thread and appreciated your constructive information regarding profile information. I used it to create my profile that hadn't been filled in yet.

Your response was vastly superior to simply deriding a newcomer to the forum for not having entered the profile information (as frustrating as I know it must be for regular forum contributors).
