DVDA–Your project is too large for the selected media???
I’m trying to burn a DVD using DVDA and I’m getting this message: “Your project is too large for the selected media. Would you like to continue anyway?”
I get that message even though DVDA is telling me that the estimated project size is 2,149.4 MB (46% of 4.700GB media).
It is a 2GB file, 45 minutes of SD video rendered to mpeg2 from Vegas 10 using the DVDA render settings with an ac3 file for audio. DVDA is set for 4.7GB media.
The disc will burn, but I have no idea if DVDA is changing bitrate or some other settings that may be affecting the quality?
What’s my problem?
Thanks

DVDA is not recompressing your video – it would tell you if it were. The “disk used” information from DVDA is a long-standing joke and notoriously conservative. When I build the DVD files from Vegas, I put the MPEGs, AC3s and any extras or jacket picture into a subfolder from my project called: “DVD Files”. When I open DVDA, these are the files that go to my DVD. If the Windows Explorer says that I have less than 4.35 Gb of files in that folder, I burn the DVD regardless of warnings from DVDA.

Thanks Stephen. As long as no recompression or any other shinnanigans are going on when I burn I’m ok with that. I’m just starting to use DVDA to burn my DVDs after many years of using Nero so I’m getting the kinks worked out. I hope my results are as good with DVDA as they were with Nero.
Thanks

“I hope my results are as good with DVDA as they were with Nero.”
Shouldn’t be any different. You’re just copying data from the hard-disk to the DVD.
