Dear forum
Concerning this query, please forgive if I seem uninformed i am just a newbie
I have been using the free prog dvdbuilder to author dvds then I burn using nero 7 to create a dvd for watching on tv. I have been using mpeg2 files I got by recording tv programs using dvb-t usb dongle.
I wish to know what total size of file (mpeg2) I can get on one dvd.
When I assemble the files for authoring, they total , say, 4.gigbyte
After dvd builder has assembled the files in the video-ts folder they have increased in total size. (to about 4.4gigbyte )
When I tried to burn this folder to dvd-video using nero it said it was 4.9 gbyte and too much for a dvd disk .
therefore I would like to ask what max mpeg2 file total size can I start off with for dvd authoring
I would like answer for both single layer and dual layer dvds please
Yours with thanks
Ian

For elementary streams (separate video + audio files) the total size can roughly be calculated:
Totalsize_in_MB = Videosize_in_MB + Audiosize_in_MB + (VideoDuration_in_seconds * 0.011) + some MBs for menus if any.GUI for dvdauthor:

...nero isnt being an idiot
Use ImgBurn to burn Video DVDs. The new 2.2 version is superb! (and free)GUI for dvdauthor:
