Title bitrate check:The total bitrate (Video+Audio+Subtitle) of the above title is too high Please change the disc template or reduce the number of audio tracks.
I get this mess with DWS2.
I imported files from a DVD burned on a set top recorder. Total time 2 hours. Upon Import the files were broken into about 7 titles. There is only one audio track per movie, so how can I reduce the number of tracks per movie? The menu I created from scratch has lots of stills and moving menus. Is this the problem? How do you change disk template? Each of the seven titles is rec. this mess. I cant burn a DVD or DVD folder or ISO folder. Final project is 7.5G but I do have a DL burner (Ive never used) Can someone please HELP!!
Thanks Diane
The total bitrate (Video+Audio+Subtitle) of the above title
Firstly, make sure you have all the upgrades installed. DL will not work without them. Next, click on the hammer and spanner icon and then on Disc Template Manager and make sure your system is the right one and that DVD is selected on the right. Then choose standard play and click on Edit. Go to the compression tab and make the following changes:
Quality 80
Video data rate Constant 4400
Audio format Dolby Digital Audio
Audio bitrate 192
Then OK back to your project
This should usually allow you to generate a 2 hour DVD on a 4.7 Gb disc: make sure your project size is not more than 4.1 Gb; if it is, reduce the video data rate a little until it is (it depends on many things). Once you have mastered that, you can start tweaking things to optimise the quality or going on to try DL discs with a higher bitrate. For general playability in most DVD players, make sure your combined video and audio bitrates never exceed a sum of about 7000 kbit/s: big mistake to try and push this limit, even if a disc isn't full.
Read the manual!

Hey Devil, Hey George thanks for the replies!
What I did was remove some of the movie files, and made 2 seperate DVDs because I had to show a client some samples ASAP! Didn't have time to tweak. Devil, I was afraid that lowering the bitrate would reduce the quality too much on a 2 hour DVD that is why I want to start burning DL. I did download the upgrade file. It is my intention to play with the settings a bit more. Also, I realized after the fact that the drive I stored the files in was a FAT32 formatted drive with the 4G limit. So now what?
Should I just move all the files to another drive? Will DW2 be ok with that?
Here are the properties George from each of the imported DVD rom files, which made up the 7 movie/title files:
Format:NTSC DVD
Video Type:Mpeg 2 video: upper field first
Attributes: 24 bits, 704x480 (704??)
Frame Rate:29.970
Varible bit rate: (Max 9554 kbps)
Why are the frame attributes 704 and not 720?
Thanks again so much guys!!

Firstly, 9554 kbit/s max is FAR too high. If you have taken the default LPCM audio system, this adds >1000 kbit/s and the total is WAY higher than the DVD standard permits. Apart from that, there is no way you can fit a 2 h video with such a bitrate on even a DL disc.
Did you know the average bitrate of most Hollywood blockbuster DVDs is between 4000 and 4500 kbit/s?
I don't believe, if you do as I suggested in my earlier post, that the visual quality will be anywhere as bad as you fear. I posted that with the philosophy that one should learn to walk before trying to run. Do things simply before trying to do the complex things. I urge you to do a SL DVD as I suggested before attempting a DL. If you MUST use DL, your best settings will be CBR 6800 kbit/s for video and audio as I outlined above. Be warned, however, that not all DL discs will play in all players; they are very tricky. Anyway, I'm 95% confident you will find a SL disc quite satisfactory for ordinary viewing. At least try it, rather than trying to break a stick over your own back first off.
Presumably your 704 pixels wide is what you captured. This is perfectly in order for some systems, but, as you haven't told us how you captured, with what, with which codec and with which settings, I cannot comment.
I recommend your whole affair, including your temp files be on NTFS and not FAT 32. Why not simply convert FAT32 to NTFS? It's easy and you lose nothing. Go to Help in WIN.

Hello Diane,
To fit a 2 hour movie on a SL DVD you can apply the following settings:
Datarate video: 4400 Kb/s (constant)
Datarate audio: 320 Kb/s
This way you have pretty good video quality and good audio quality, but will depend on the quality of the source materal (light, movement, steady).
If you do not like the quality afterall, burn it on 2 seperate DVD rather than on a DL DVD.
Good luck,
Erik

Hi Diane,
Are you editing the source videos, or are you trying to use them "asis"
What did it say for AUDIO in the Title Properties, and in the EDIT step under the AUDIO tab, what do you have listed for the AUDIO TRACKS
Did all 7 clips come from the same DVD, or from different discs
If from the same DVD, then was it a Single or Double Layer disc -- if single layer, then the reported bitrate is not the true bitrate of the encoded mpegs. You might just have to change your project properties to use AC3 audio, and in the EDIT step, under the AUDIO tab, check the option to "Convert to disc template" (do not do the same for the video if you want to use the video "asis")
Regards,
George
