Burn to DVD

I am adding Events to my Timeline, until there are enough to fill a 4.7 GB, DVD disk.

Can/How will Vegas tell me when my Timeline is approaching the disk’s, 4.7 GB limit?

I am using Vegas Pro 12.0

Tools / Burn disc > DVD gives you an estimated size.

It is essentially arithmetic. If you know the project duration and the bit rate you are going to render to, then you can calculate the size. You need to allow a bit more of course for audio and menus.

At 8 Mbps, the max you should probably use, you can fit about 1 hr 15 min. At 6 Mbps, you could fit about 1 hr 40 min.

Interesting. Net-nanny allows the diminutive of Michael in user names but not in posts.

m i c k,
in future PeterDuke's advice will be more useful to you.
The data storage size of a video is determined by the bitrate.
Google 'bitrate calculator'.

The one a lot of us like is Mark's bitrate calculator.

The John Cline website is down from where I am. Is there an alternative download link?

As a guide, you can burn more than 2 hours of watch-able footage onto a DVD. I've done it, it works for clients and it looks great.

Grazie

LightAds, if you click on the link the file should automatically download to your hard drive so check your default download location.
