Not enough disk space - BluRay

Komaryt wrote on 9/23/2017, 2:07 PM

Hello,
I made BD menu and everything was okay till I wanted to prepare ISO (because I haven't blu ray recorder) and even I have 40Gb of free space on disk DVD Architect is saying that I have not enough it.

Strange thing is that I have movie clip (in .mp4) which have 20Gb and 10Gb and in this two situations when I change disk - architect shows me that entire project have 32Gb - when my main files have at least 21Gb.. What is going on and how can I change it?
It is really strange for me that DVD Architect is making 32Gigabytes file from file which have 10Gb. Anyone have the same problem? I am new in DVD Architect so it is strange for me.

I don't know if it's relevant but I've always understood that when creating iso images you need at least twice the final disc size available on your drive. This is because source files are copied or created into suitable files and then these are copied into the iso image. But I'm always open to correction.

It seems legit.

But why Architect is making from 10Gb file - file which have 31Gb? :/ and with file which have 20Gb it is doing the same thing. I am so stupid at this thing and can't figure out why it is doing like this. I could understand when it will make a 5Gb file from 10Gb but not the other way around.

In your Optimization image yellow diamonds are shown which indicates recompression is taking place. Probably your source files are at a much lower bitrate than your project settings. Consequently after recompression with a higher bitrate the files are much larger.

You say your source files are mp4. Mp4 files are not Blu-ray compatible so will always be recompressed (re-rendered). You could try reducing your project to a lower bitrate to reduce file sizes. But firstly what bitrate do your source files have?

yee, I thought about that MP4 is not compatible - so I'm f*cked :D I hope that I will save some time for renderings,because from V15 movie to MP4 is rendering only 1hour (with effects), but I won't save time.

So I need to render it to mpeg2 :( Okay now I know what is going on. Thank you for help and for your time.

Best of luck but personally for 1080 I'd use mpeg4 (AVC/H264) not mpeg2.

Try render short first, and check put the file into DVD Architect before doing long render.

For Blu-ray compatible format, your choice is just 2:

Mainconcept MPEG2>Blu-Ray template settings, (MPEG2) or
SonyAVC>Blu-Ray template settings (MPEG4)

Don't forget to render the audio part too with Dolby AC3 Studio (or Dolby AC3 Pro)

By having rendering to these format, no rerendering needed with DVD Architect.
