9.3Gb Video_TS 'Cannot Create File' & MovieFactory2 Tria

[aimbuster]

I'm trying to make a DVD with 21 mpeg1 files (All of season 1 TV episodes) that are 400+mb big. Each episode has its own thumbnail, 3 episodes per page totalling up to 7 pages. Totals to around 15+hrs and 9.3Gb big. Instead of writing to a DVD-R, for obvious reasons, I just want to save as a DVD folder (Video_TS) so I can edit the folder later with Pinnacle InstantCopy 7 and compress to fit on a 4.7Gb DVD-R. The problem is that after it has finished re-encoding the video files and got to "finalizing disc content," and finally to about 96% of "Video/Audio multiplexing"...it stops and gives an error "Cannot Create File (93006:1:0)." I have enough room in the drive so I don't understand why I'm getting this. I tried restarting the app, rebooting the computer, and defragmenting my drive. I've tried a few times and still the same error. I even started from scratch with a new project and still the same error. I'm using the trial version.

I might try doing the same thing with NeoDVD or something but I'll have to buy that 1st.

Anybody have a clue?

Cannot Create File (93006:1:0)
Maybe you need NTFS
supports singlefile sizes over 4.0GB

I ran into this problem as well... what it seems to be is that its unable to create vob files over 09. With your file being over 9 gigs the remaining megs try to get put on vob 10 which it can't do so it messes up. You have to lower the total filesize to under 9 gigs. At least that's my experience with it, I could be wrong

I don't think it is possible to do since even a DVD-9 will only allow you to get just over 7GB of files on it. Since most consumer level authoring pakages are only designed to author for DVD-5 or DVD-9 using a DLT as a master source. If you try to create a file that is bigger, it will crash every time. I have sonic fusion system, cost about $20,000 and it wouldn't even do that. And I doubt even the top of the line Sonic Creator system would do it either. Whenever you try to break the written DVD spec you will run into problems.

I'm going to get rid of 1 video at a time and finalize (write as DVD folder) each time to see what I can get away with. I just think I'd be kewl to squeeze all the videos in there. I don't even care about the video quality at this point. I had a hunch that it was the 9+Gb limit but wasn't quite sure. I guess there's no point to even try this with NeoDVD.
