I remember that in the past MPEG2 files (original 50i) was possible to render into 50P. It was on old Vegas version, I think it was even Sony Vegas. Now it doesn't render even a source native 50 P video. The conversion / interpolation from 50i

RE: 1.02gb video to DVD, System states video 6.9gb . < space 4,7gb DVD ???

First and foremost: Do Not Trust the estimated file size in DVD Architect. It is usually wrong. Your final MPEG-2 + AC3 + Menus size must be NO LARGER than 4.35 GiB for a DVD5. That is etched in stone tablets. You will adjust your MPEG-2 video

RE: DVD Architect disc space used much larger than actual file

Although, the incorrect size estimate happens long before one gets to the burning stage, so it may still tell you that your project is way too big even before you prepare. If the prepared files are going to fit, then they'll fit no matter what

No, DVDA was going to recompress. The mpg file that I added to DVDA was rendered from a 2 hour 33 minute file in Vegas Pro 17.0 using Program Stream NTSC from Main Concept MPEG-2, with customized template of about 3,500,000 bps (average) to result

From here : "If the estimated file size is a bit too big, Prepare (not burn) the DVD folder anyway and see how it turns out. An estimate is an estimate." Or try ImgBurn instead.

RE: Pro 15 won't play YUY2 files, but plays UYVY

Your max bitrate is WAY TOO HIGH, your average bitrate is WAY TOO HIGH. Your max should not be over 30 or 35 at most. Average should be close to your target (25). Min is okay. You should always render audio separate from video, it just works better

A Video DVD will only take MPEG2. Don't try other formats. Are you trying to make a Video DVD or a DATA DVD? File size is determined by 2 things. Bitrate and length. If you need to make it smaller, you have to change something, in this case,
