dvd it

[kody]

i tried to burn a dvd using dvd it and the file was only 4 gigs and the dvdr was 4.7 and i recieved a message saying there was not eoung disk capacaity anyone know what is wrong

Depending on your audio settings (PMC or Dolby Digital) and you source file (AVI or MPG) I would suspect that DVDit wants to re-encode your file. If this is the case then the projected size of your project would cause this error.

If your source is an AVI then...
1) Lower the bitrate of the project -or -
2) Convert to MPG with TMPGenc or Ligos encoder

Also try converting your audio to Dolby Digital (you can do this in DVDit).

Hope this helps.

AFAIK this is only supported in DVDit PE (professional). So if you are unfortunate enough to be using the LE (light) version you are stuck with PCM audio. This will take up about 1.3 gigs for a 90min movie!!.
Also I have had sync problems on some movies using DVDit's AC3 audio option and so have others I have heard.

As dmonty said, re-encode to a lower bitrate or better yet, author with something that supports MP2 audio such as Dazzle DVD complete or (I think) Ulead DVD workshop.

uh. oops. I forgot to state "PE". my bad.

"Bad, Bad, Bad Dmonty! Straight to bed without any ripping for you!"

so tmpgenc does not convert audio? can i use it to convert my audio and make dvdit not do this? also for stream type i selected system(audio and video) because i thought this converted for me?

In the DVDiT Build menu you will see audio, under audio set this to bitrate 192, dual digital, if you don't DVDiT will force the PCM mode on your process. Setting this will also create a smaller file. I use it all the time and it works great. I can get two 2+ hour movies on one DVD-R in SVCD format usint the KDVD Half templates found on www.kvcd.net.

TmpGenc will only produce Mpeg Layer II audio, not PCM or AC3, which is all that Dvdit will handle.

As Bud said, select AC3 audio in DVDit, or use a different authoring proggy that supports mp2 audio.
