Format Too Large For A Single DVD?

[Keala]

Hi Everyone,

Just got a new Hi-Def Canon Vixia HF 200 and a Canon DW-100 Burner.
I'm recordering in a high quality mode setting: FXP, which is 17Mbps.

I filmed one hour of material but when tranfering the video to the Canon DW-100 burner, it took two DVD disk to cover 1 hour of video.
Is this video files (FXP setting) too large to put all into one disc?

I'm recording onto a DVD-R, which has 4.7 GB of space.

Actually a DVD-R has about 4.37GB of space. The 4.7GB is just bad math from the manufacturers. One Kilobyte = 1024 bytes, not 1000.

If your video rate is 17Mbps = 2.125MBps X 60 X 60 = 7650 MB or 7.65 GB for one hour of video. So it will fit on a dual layer disc (About 7.95GB), or two SL discs.

Hopefully my math is correct or someone will tell me.

And welcome to our forums.
