DVD burning problem

[Eduard Wolfson]

Hello everybody, It's me again.
Start working more with VS10+ and have another problem;
-MPEG2 file 1hr42min long start burning on DVD (FUJI 4.7GB)) after 9 hours completed just 3%, I stoped burning.
My DVD burner Pioneer 16X16
Another software, Pinnacle Studio 9+, burned DVD without any problem.
Same file, same DVD, same computer.
What I'm doing wrong?

No one can possibly give you an answer until you tell us the properties of the mpeg-2 file and what steps you took to produce it. Where did the original video come from? Was it all from the same source or have you mixed different videos with perhaps different formats? What other editing did you do to it?

The fact that it is taking so very long implies that VS thinks it is not a DVD-compliant mpeg-2 and is trying to convert it on the fly during the burning process (which I assume you realise is a no-no). With your computer specifications, 9 hours would be far too long even for a straight conversion.

It would also be helpful to know what burning speed you set. Even though you have a 16x burner, it is never a good idea to use the highest speed when burning a home-made video DVD. We recommend 4x or 6x if your burner won't go as low as 4x for the type of disc you are using.

Hello Ken,
Thank you for your respond. I captured video as MPEG file from camera. Without any editing a try to burn this file to DVD with VS10+. Nothing special, no effects. File size 5GB. Maybe I need to use different steps.
My video file was in a time line, then I choose Share and Burn Disc with settings to buirn directly on DVD. Maybe I need to save as a video file on hard drive and then to burn DVD? I just start exploring VS10+.
