  RE: 2 hr DVD
  Thanks to everyone for the insight on Mpeg compression. I have another question, I rendered out to mpeg2 in V4 with bit rate of max of 4 to a project of 1hr 58min. The resulting files (I spelt the live music video to 4 files at band change breaks.)

  RE: DVDA File size
  Any resembelance between DVDA's file estimates, and actual file sizes, is strictly coincidental. Everything about DVDA's file estimation and time remaining to burn is completely broken -- not even close. I've had burns that show 60% complete that

  RE: DVD menu authoring
  I've found Ulead Movie Factory (v2) very good, easy to use. It is fairly basic though (in terms of how much you can customize the menus). For me that's fine, as I spend most of the time I have available to this hobby on the editing side - and I

  RE: Why double Rendering?
  A 23 minute video should not re-encoding because of size. Just to be sure of everything, open your DVDA project and click on File -> Optimize DVD. In the columns for each video you have put into DVDA, you should see either a green check, a

  much smaller DVD files than MPEG??
  I've been making DVDs from MPEG files, to which I've added chapter points in DVDA. One thing I've noticed is that if I start with an MPEG file of around 4.5GB, the estimated project size will be a little less, say 4.2 GB, but when the DVD is

  Override optimize. Impossible, right?
  When DVDA intends to recompress a video and/or audio, its impossible to override, correct? I believe so, but am hoping for confirmation. Situation: I created a series of mpgs in Vegas, imported into DVDA and all was well. Now, because of the lack

  RE: How much video on a DVD?
  I made a DVD that was slightly under 4 Gb. For some reason the Ulead software that I use for burning would not accept the MPEG file unless it was slightly under 4Gb. I think that it had to do with the overhead of the DVD menues. It's hard to

  RE: Estimated DVD Size
