Problems putting 2 hours of video on DVD

[dewleng]

Hello,

I am new at burning DVDs from my home videos. I captured using Ulead VideoStudio. I imported it into Showbiz to edit and saved it as a DVD file. Tried to burn it with Showbiz but it said that the destination does not have enough space. I looked at the MPG2 file and it was 4.04GB. I thought that the DVD disc can hold 4.7GB? What am I doing wrong? Is there something I'm not understanding?

Try another authoring tool, like TMPGenc DVD Author. Probably want Showbiz reconvert the audio to wav/pcm and then it will become bigger. It may be possible to change that but I haven't used it.

You could just edit and even author right in your VideoStudio program.

I ran into the same problems using TMPGE and DVDit. I would get the file size to about 4.2-4.5G and then Nero wouldn't let me burn because the disc wasn't big enough??? Finally had to re-encode at a lower bitrate and put 2hrs 17min on the DVD, but it was only 3.5G and it looks like poo-poo.

Are you sure the media is empty? Is it one of those cheap media? I have problem with them, couldn't wirte to full capacity.Try better media
