Defragging a standard magneto-mechanical drive is somewhere between useless and dangerous, and should be avoided. Defragmenting an SSD drive is just plain absolutely pointless. A 100% fragmented SSD will perform exactly and precisely as fast as a 0%

RE: Disc Space Used

Just ignore the estimated size - it's notoriously conservative. I prepare my DVD files into an empty folder on my hard-disk. If Windows Explorer says it's less than 4.7Gb, then I know the project will fir on a DVD.

RE: Increased file size when adding movie media

1) Render your files to COMPLIANT MPEG-2 using DVD Architect template in Vegas. 2) Render your audio using a DVD AC3 template in Vegas. 3) Use a bitrate calculator to give the correct rendering bitrate. 4) I the DVD Architect estimate is too large,

RE: Increased file size when adding movie media

A Video DVD has to be MPEG2 files. The WMV files will be converted and DVDA is probably giving you an estimate of the final converted size. You should create the MPEG2 files using the templates in your editing program. Dave T2

RE: DVD size too big

First, if you really do mean the "DVD NTSC" template, don't use that. It's a bad thing, and I wish Sony would remove it. Use the DVD Architect video stream template for the video and then a PCM / WAV or AC3 template for the audio. Second, there are
