barryg013 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I don't understand how to limit the size of a project so that it will successfully fit onto a blank dvd when i export it. I have created projects that have spent 6+ hours preparing to 'burn' only for a message to appear telling me the file is too big - but then i have to start again, wasting the whole time spent trying to burn?

An alternative would be to produce to the hard disk - testing different formats - to determine suitable quality vs. file size. Then use another burning application to create the DVD.

Dougie Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 The average DVD will hold about 4.7G of material (in reality about 4.5). If your finished file is smaller then that, you should have no problem with, as borate says, an alternative burner program. The one included with Videopad is....well....never mind.

Nationalsolo Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 HI Try DVDStyler. It's free, open source, allows your own images and menus and music...and at least tells you whether your proposed project will fit and you can see your project before you burn it. http://sourceforge.n...ects/dvdstyler/ Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
