I just finished rendering my wedding video from AVI file to MPEG2 using Vegas 5.It took me about 9 hours to finish it. Now I have a problem is that the MPEG2 file is 7.7GB does not fit into 4.7GB DVD blank. Is there any way to split this file so that I can burn them into 2 DVDs

Thanks

Billy

Billy ,

You can use MPEG Wideo Wizard by Womble. It works great, and it doesn't re-encode.

Or you can burn it to double layer DVD+R disk.

Just be aware that DVD Arch doesn't currently support double layer burning, and SonyEPM has also said that they don't support DVDA projects being burned with software that does support DL burning.

I have sucessfully burned a DVDA project to DL using CopyToDVD.

you also could use DVD Shrink and shrink it down to size -- but really re-encoding it or splitting it (wobble as mentioned) is the best way ...

next time use a bit rate calculator !
