I'm currently using Ulead DVD Movie Factory for my Toshiba laptop and am having trouble making a DVD using two titles sources. When I select the two sources and get ready to burn the disc, I get an error message that reads "The Total Size is Larger than chosen project. You can 1. Press (yes) to try to fit DVD 2. Press (no) to go back and change project or re-select clips.
I'm not sure why I'm getting this error message. I'm copying to a Dual Layer DVD so there's enough space on the disc. There is also plenty of space on my extra hard drive.
Has anyone encountered this message? If so, is there a workaround?
Thanks!
Error Message Re: Total Size (Please Help)
How do you know there's "enough space"? What's the total playing time? What audio & video bitrates are you using? (The space required on the DVD is usually different from the original file sizes, depending on the formats.)I'm not sure why I'm getting this error message. I'm copying to a Dual Layer DVD so there's enough space on the disc.
Here's a handy online Bitrate Calculator.
You can also estimate file size with the following formula:
File Size in MB = (Bitrate in kbps x Playing Time in minutes) / 140
(Use the combined audio & video bitrates, and if using variable bitrate, use the average.)
