VS9 Thinks my video is to big to burn to a DL DVD when it's

[ha_bang]

NO. I am not buring anything. I'm trying to create a DVD disk on my hard drive (i.e. ISO image or VIDEO_TS folder). I already have an MPG dvd-compliant file and now I want to write to a DVD structure. My MPG file is only at 7 gig so it should have no problem fitting onto a 8.5 DVD DL.

Hi

Not sure if this has been mentioned previously.

From the burner module press F6 to open the properties box.

Here you can change the ‘Dvd Disc Size’

VS 9 may auto select this if you place a DL disc in the drive, but without a disc how does it know??

Hope this Helps

Yes, the DVD Disc size is at 8.5 gig. The problem is that it "think" that is is over the project limit of 8.5. But I have already encoded this at a variable bitrate of 8000 and the file size is only 7 gig. So I don't need to recode but the project size is pass 8.5 which prompt the message "Exceed Project Size Limitation" and will not allow me to create DVD.

I'm guessing that nobody know how to resolve this since this subject has already been a few months old? I think this is a VS9 bug/enhancement then.

Hi

I have just created a TS folder 7.76Gb (8,334,483456 bytes)
So which figure should we use.

In the burner window the slider shows on the left 8.52 (7.93)

The first attempt failed with the ‘Exceed Project Size Limitation’ it was to big.
I removed some of the Video files to reduce the size below 8 Gb but still got the warning.

I believe there may be a bug in the burner module that remembers the settings of the first attempt.
I have had problems when changing the navigation of the menu’s.
So by using the same project for your burns, you will have problems.

My solution was to start a new project, modify the project settings to match my video clips.
Share create disc. Add sufficient videos to fill the slider to 8.5 Gb. Only hitting burn when I was sure the levels were low enough.

This time it worked ok.
