    I am working on a family project. I am making high quality slideshows with ProShow Gold. I encode at the highest bitrate and with PCM audio. I don't mind having only 2hrs of video on one DVD.

    I use TMPG DVD Author to make a VERY simple DVD menu. I choose MPEG II audio to help fit as much as possible. When I finish, the capacity of the disk is full, but when I write the folders and burn it is only half full. I thought it was the because of the audio compression from PCM to MPG2, but when I leave the audio as PCM it increases the size of the DVD beyond 4.7GB.

    Is there something wrong here?

    Hello,

    PCM is uncompressed audio. MP2 is compressed mpeg audio (different from ac3 but still compressed).

    You can use a bitrate calclulator to figure out sizes.
