Trouble Burning DVD (size does matter)

I have two MPEG clips, one is about 2 gigs and one is about 1.5 gigs (total around 3.5 gigs).

The bar at the bottom of my Movie Factory 3.0 says there is plenty of room for both of them, but when I try to burn the disc, the software goes through the entire process, right up to the burn, and then says the disc doesn't have enough room.

I tried this with several DVD-R's, and now they're all coasters (at least I think they are).

Any idea what my problem is?

At the window that shows all your options for burning, take note of 2 sets of figures. At the bottom it shows the size of your video/size of your disk. Above that it's the size required for the temporary files generated/ the size of your hard disk that is available. Make sure that the latter number is bigger than the former. Many a times it is referring to the hard disk not having sufficent space to store the temporary files.
