File too large for DVD?

[Brandon19ec]

Hi, I currently use Adobe Premiere 6.0 for my video capturing. I have recently done a project which is 2 hours long, and around 20gb on my hard drive. When I try to burn it to DVD it says the file is too large for me to put onto the DVD. How can I compress it to make the 2 hours fit onto a DVD with out losing the quality? This is my first time working with DVD/r and I am trying to figure this out. Thanks for the help!!

If the file is an MPEG file, use TMPGEnc Plus or suitable substitute to extract the m2v and mp2 files from it. Change the file extension of the mp2 file to mpa. Open IfoEdit, select DVD Author-->Author new DVD. Load the video and new mpa file, select the folder to put the resultant files and "OK". The resultant files should be DVD files. Use DVD Shrink to compress them to fit on a DVD. Burn normally.

I never heard of a 2 hour MPEG file being 20 Gigs. Is the 20 Gig file an MPEG or AVI file?

If it's an AVI then use TMEGenc to encode it to a Compliant DVD MPEG file. If it's an MPEG file the how was it made?

Regards,

Chas

DVD2ONE IC& or IC8 CLONEDVD DVDSHRINK all these program will make the DVD fit. Some reason whenI capture MPEG2 DVDshrink does not like my Dazzle 2 file's. I have use DVD2one and cloneDVD. I like CLONEDVD better also IC8 is very good but take's long
