Fitting to DVD

Post by wemcn »

I have a project that is just under 100 minutes and VideoStudio reports that it requires 5.31GB. I have tried all 6 provided templates and 2 new templates that I created, using compression factors down to 60%. Every one still shows the 5.31Gb requirement. How do I adjust settings to put this project on a 4.7Gb DVD?

Please read the very recent thread "Why is my file so big?" at http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=44441 as it goes into the response to your own identical question in some detail.

The thread you posted reinforced my opinion that the size should change with the change in bitrate.

I finally discovered the solution: When you use the template manager, the program does NOT apply the template you have selected. The template can only be changed when you go in through "Change Mpeg settings" under Project settings.
