Hi
I have VS8 and have the following problem.
I have captured 1hr and 58m of vhs video at the following specs.
352x576
4000kbps
with the file size ending up at 3.7 GB.
Obviously this is well below the 4.7 for my DVD RW disk.
When I add the video to the project it ends up at about 6.25 GB. Why is this when I have already selected settings that would bring the mpeg file below the DVD maximum? Surely I shouldn't have to render a file already under the maximum DVD size.
Secondly if I then choose Half-D1 (what is that by the way?) it shows the size at about 3.3 GB on the scale.....but when I try and burn it to DVD it eventually tells me that there is not enough disk space.
Please help as this is rather frustrating.
Regards
Not enough disk space

Did you select that option to "Do not convert compliant mpeg files"? This will use your source video "as is" (as long as it meets valid specifications for the type of disc you are creating).
Look here for valid specs (and an answer to your Half D1 question)

Your question is not susceptible of a simple answer because we don't in effect have enough information. The format size in which you have captured (352 x 576) is not a particularly common one - at least not to me - and I for one would like to know what the source was or why you selected that particular format size. (I concede, though, before anyone shoots me down, that it is a valid size for a DVD in PAL format.) I am assuming, in any case, that you captured in mpeg-2 format. But I would have thought in any case with the other capture properties that you could have used the full 720 x 576 at 4000 bps and still have fitted it on a single layer DVD. (By the way, depending on how you count your bytes/bits, the maximum you can fit on such a DVD is really only about 4.3 GB.)
It would also be useful to know what the exact properties were which you selected to produce your DVD-compatible MPEG (Share > Create Video File) before burning the final DVD (Share > Create Disc). If, for example, you chose a larger frame size and higher bit rate, then the file would naturally be (much?) larger than your original capture.
As George has also suggested, you would still have to check the 'Do not convert compliant MPG files' -- and this would be so whether you selected your original format or the 'more' standard frame size of 720 x 576 to produce your DVD compatible mpeg. This can be found in the burning module page under the little cog wheel icon in the bottom left of screen. It will at least ensure that your production time is greatly reduced and should also avoid other potential problems.
