Without getting into to many details, most generally you first need to shrink the file size before you author to dvd (withe TDA). Thus, I would first suggest getting a copy of DVD Shrink (IMHO a great program). It can be found on this site via the "Tools" selection on the left hand bar.
Once it has done its job, then use TDA to create your dvd.
Presuming you have a single MPEG file with the proper audio inserted and are not dealing with extras, menus, etc. Then, bewarned that a file of that magnitude will require over 50% compression and the end results you may not like. So use an RW disc to verify your results before comitting to a final DVD.
EDIT UPDATE:
After rereading your post, my original suggestions may have sent you down an unnecessary path or been confusing. Let me try again.
If not mistaken you have an MPEG file (10Gb) you want to get onto a DVD-R (or +R as the case may be).
I have not tried to use DVD Shrink on just an MPEG file and not sure that will work. But, you can feed the MPEG file into TDA and IGNORE the size warning it will give you. You can then take the VIDEO_TS folder TDA created and use that for input into DVD Shrink. DVD Shrink will then compress the file so that it fits a standard DVD.
Now that output can be put back into TDA and burned to disc. But my warning from above still applies. -
re-encode using TMPGEnc Plus. Lower the bitrate to fit on one DVR using the bitrate calculator here.
If in doubt, Google it. -
Be prepared to explain all THAT as well.....Originally Posted by jimmalenko

This is how I would do it....although, I have to say 10 GB is HUGE for an mpeg file. In any event, you don't have much choice, either encode at a lower bitrate or go ahead and make the oversized DVD and then shrink it.Originally Posted by jimmalenko -
Yeah, I know.Originally Posted by makntraks
I was contemplating taking up the rest of the page with step by step instructions. Some benefit of the doubt though.If in doubt, Google it. -
Shrinking an mpeg that big is going to look like complete shit. Re-encoding is what you want to do here.

hi again
still no luck with your help...dvd shrink wont open any mpeg files and with tda it wont re encode it. the size of the movie is 10.4 GB.just don't have a clue on what to do
all i want to do is resize it to fit onto dvd -
....reduce with TMPGEnc Plus, hasn't that already been mentioned?
Then, author to DVDr with TMPGEnc Author.

TMPGEnc DVD Author isn't an ecoder. You need TMPGEnc Plus or some other mpeg encoder.

Oh not at all, Will. I hadn't seen your post when I made mine. Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to this:

It appeared to me that he tried to use TDA to re-encode because he had tried to do so with DVD Shrink, which we know doesn't accept mpg's. That's why I made my post.
-
i'm not to sure on how to do it in the TMPGENC PLUS.tried to open my mpeg file but wont let me.
-
Install the TMPGEnc MPEG2 Plugin in your TMPGEnc program folder.
-
then what do i do?????
-
I don't think you ever said how long your 10gb file was. What you need to do is plug the length into a bitrate calc, such as the DVDRHelp Bitrate Calculator. Take the average bitrate it gives you and plug that number into TMPGEnc. Start off with the project wizard and select the DVD template. Once you get the stage 4 input the average bitrate you got from the calc. If you are still unsure of what to do you need to go to the guides section because you have a lot to learn.

Let me try to clarify my point.
First the poster has an mpeg file that is way too large to fit on a DVD. And he wants VOB files. My suggestion was to let TDA create the VIDEO-TS foler for him (and the necessary VOB files). Yyes, you are correct it is not a reencoder but that wasn't the purpose of this step. It was to get it to VIDEO_TS format. Then input that into DVD Shrink for compression. Whether the poster will be satisfied with the output after that much compression is up to him. Please re-read my warning about using an RW to verify before comitting to a final DVD.
Now whether re-encoding with a lower bit rate to get it to the proper size will be any better in quality is again in the eyes of the poster. And I would STILL urge the poster to use an RW to verify the results (for quality) before comitting to a final DVD.
As I see it, there have been TWO (2) options given to the poster to get to his final goal. Which both will work. -
edsmith77, first let me say that I agree with your method. I think it is the faster option and requires less work for the poster who is relatively new to all this. At no point did I argue the merits of your suggestion. It just appeared to me that gary_uk21 attempted to use TDA believing it was an encoder. That's the only reason why I chose to point out that it was not. Because it was clear to me that he wanted to re-encode rather than transcode with Shrink, that's why I chose to assist him in that task. I don't exclude the possiblility that I misjudged the entire situation and it was not my intention to step on anyone's toes.

teegee420,
No harm no foul.
I was not just sure I was clear enough with my first post and thought I needed to clarify. English is hard enough to understand when spoken let alone read.
I took offense from nothing anyone has had to say. We are all here (I believe) to help one another and offer advice on personal past experiences.
Cheers.
Ed
