Toast is saying not enough disk space (how can that be?)

[kubrick74]

Hi All,

I had a two hour TV show converted from a Final Cut express project, which waas converted to a Quicktime (.mov) 21.62gb file. In order to put on DVD, I used ffmpeg, which converted it into a mpeg2, 1.86gb (.m2v) video file and a 102.1mb, (mp3) audio file.

Now, after putting them into toast 6.0 under the video tabe to burn to DVD, i am told that "Not enough free space on disk 2514367 sectors (4.8gb) are needed, 2298496 sectors (4.4gb) are available.

I have no idea why sinceboth audio and video are no where near 4.4gb.

Any help would be great, as I havent seen this specific problem addresed anywhere. Thanks.

Because Toast is wanting to reencode the video. Author your DVD outside of Toast and simply burn using the program.

...or just free up more space.
