TMPEG Exceeds Capacity???

[Spassvogel]

When I create a project in TMPEG that I've been trying to get made with about four different programs with no luck, the size bar on the bottom tells me that the capacity of the burned DVD is 4173/4438MB

However, when I encode the DVD folder and try to burn it, I always get the message that the file exceeds the capacity of the DVD-R!

How is this possible that 500 megs are magically added? Particularly when the program tells me I'm okay?

I don't know why your file size is getting bigger but you can shrink it to fit with DVD Shrink.

I tried that once, and the quality seemed to suffer a lot more than the 3% it said it was shrinking it.

I'd rather know why TMPEG won't correctly display the size of the video.

I assume you are encoding video with Tmpgenc MPEG encoder. Are you? What program are you using to create the DVD and burn it?

It is possible that the authoring program is re-encoding either video or audio or both - although the 500Mb increase makes me suspect audio is only re-encoded, possible converted to LPCM.

I was using TMPEG DVD Encoder to make the DVD and burn it. I made sure that the "re-encode audio to match..." box was unchecked on all of the videos. Is there any other setting I could be missing??

Thanks
