I've been having a problem trying to burn a project with three movies onto a DL DVD.
The three mpegs are:
1. 2.88GB (1:05:00)
2. 2.73GB (1:01:47)
3. 2.86GB (1:04:41)
Settings are:
24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Upper Field First
(DVD-NTSC), 4:3
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps)
Audio data rate: 256 kbps
Dolby Digital Audio. 48 KHz, 2/0(L,R)
I realize that I have a red area over the size limit for 8.5GB disk, but I've burned single layer disks with slightly higher size and the program compresses it to fit.
But with this dual layer project, the burn process goes up to 97% and freezes. I've also only created and ISO file of the project, but, using ImageBurn, I find that the ISO file doesn't have the proper configuration to split the layers correctly. It tells me:
"Optimal L1 Data Zone Start LBA: None Found! (VTS_01)
This image has not been mastered correctly for burning onto a double layer (OTP Track Path) disc.
None of the cells meet the 'DVD-Video specification' criteria for a potential layer break position."
Is there something I'm supposed to do first? Is there a step or two that I'm missing? Or does VSX2 have a problem burning DL DVDs?
I also realize that VSX2 was not designed for Windows 7, but I figured the ProPatch and Windows 7 updates were supposed to make VSX2 work on Windows 7.
VSX2 won't burn dual layer DVD

and welcome to the forums, apologies for the delay in replying, guess your post was missed somhow?
I guess the main problem is the size of the video files.
If you were to create a video file using a lower bit rate then the file sizes would reduce and the files would fit to disc.
A single layer disc holds 4.3 Gb, a 60 minute video file using 8000kbps will be approx 4 Gb
A duel layer is double that, so effectively you will get 120 minutes, comfortably.
You are trying to squash 180 minutes. I think you should use about 6000kbps, maybe push it to 6500.
You can force the burner module to re-render the project prior to burning, select the cogwheel lower left, deselect Do Not Convert Compliant ……..
Set the conversion properties, view the result in the timeline so that it is all green, no yellow or red.
But the best option is to create the correct size Mpegs in the first place.
