DVD transfer: not enough disc space

[Frebo]

Just got Slysoft - it worked great a few times with Nero. Now I get an error message that the DVD I am copying is too large for the blank disc. I tried using CloneDVD and had the same problem. Here's the thing: the DVD I am copying is only an hour! (no there is no bonus material!!) What gives?

Is it a dual layer disk ?
How big does windows explorer or DVD decrypter say it is ?

One hour of video encoded at the highest alllowable bitrate, combined with LPCM audio, plus menu overheads might push it over size.

Could it be hard drive space that is lacking?

I don't have the discs I was trying to burn anymore, but I can say they were very short and without alot of graphics. No other ideas on what's going on???

Without knowing how big the originals were, there is little else to say. Pixies ? Beer ? Eels ?

Ok - now I've had the same problem with an audio disc that I know is plain old 60 minute CD. Does Nero have a glitch that I might not be aware of. This is happening with CDs and DVDs - I get an error message that says the file is to big to fit on the disc.
