Procoder split/split by size/media query

[kippard]

I making a VOB from the Premiere Pro timeline with Procoder. I want to fit my entire 105 minute program on one DVD-R. Under advanced I selected split by size, one 4.7GB disc. I got three folders (after a day of rendering). Was it because I didn't close the advanced settings before rendering? Is there a way to use the three VOB folders (they do not exceed 4.7GB)? Thank you! :P

Why are you making one big VOB from the timeline ? You should render to elementary streams, then author to create the VOBs you need.

To save a step, guns. It's just so quick and easy to have Procoder make the VIDEO_TS, no frills - DVD done. (But apparently I don't know what I'm doing). As ever, thanks.

So you got three video_TS folders ?

With what in them (exactly) ?

[kippard]

BUP, IFO, & VOBs. They look like individual DVDs, the timeline divided into three - the first two are 1.8GB and the last is 472MB. Don't suppose I can fix them. My guess is that I didn't close the advanced setts before rendering and they weren't applied or were fouled up. I want one disc for the whole program. I suppose I could calculate the length and adjust the data rate to make sure it stays below 4.7GB total, but Procoder seems to be capable of making the adjustments. I think there is a calc page on videohelp.com. Best and thanks guns.

It sounds like you had markers on the timeline that Premiere took to be separate titles. Something made premiere believe you wanted three titles, not one.

I tried another and got three folders - can I just join these VOBs (takes 3/4 of a day to encode the MPEG2)?

You can try VOBMerge to create a single large VOB, then try to either author with this, or demux it back to elementary streams and author from there. I would try the latter if this is a single probram, as what you have currently is three separate titles.
