I am a newbie to Adobe Encore, creating my first DVD, and my project has 19 video avi files (edited home movies), with a total of 82 minutes of video for the project. When I go to build the DVD, it says there is 6.4GB of data to be written which is over the capacity of the 4.7GB disk.
I am not using motion menus, and I have changed the bitrate to the lowest quality preset CBR setting. I thought I would be able to get more than 82 minutes of video on a DVD. Does this sound right? Any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks.

You need to knock it down to size with an MPEG encoder with more options like TMPGEnc first, then import it as elementary streams into Encore. Make sure Encore sees that it is already transcoded so that it doesn't try it again. I encode all my film assets before importing them into anything anyway, you usually have more control over the quality settings this way.

One other thing. As I mentioned, I have 19 AVI files that total 82 minutes of video. The longest AVI file runs 15 minutes and is 3.5GB in size. However, the much shorter AVI files are larger. For example, one AVI file is 5 minutes long and 13GB in size.
Could this be the reason I can't get 82 minutes of video on a DVD using Encore?
Thanks.
