Encoding for DVD question
OK, so I have a wedding on my timeline totaling 96 minutes in length. Using ProCoder Express, it can easily fit on one DVD (4.7gb). But I want to chop it up into sections, i.e. Ceremony, reception, cake cutting, etc.)
When I did this (6 sections) they added up to 7+ gb and will not fit on the disc. Using the wizard, I encoded each section to fit 120 min on the disc. When this did not work, I went back and encoded each section to fit 60 min on the disc. But, all sections still totaled way more than 4.7gb. I know I’m missing something here but don’t know what. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Need more info…
Are trying to make a DVD that plays in a standalone DVD player? Are you using only Pro 1.5 and not another authoring app?
Why chop your video up in sections? Are you trying to create chapters with menus ? -

Thank you for responding. I went to sleep for a few days and just woke up and remembered that I posted.
I’m using 6.5, encoding with Pro Coder Express and authoring with DVDit(LE). But it doesn’t allow for chapters so this is how I’ve been getting around it on smaller projects. So yes, you’ve hit the nail on the head. I remember that it was on your recommendation that I discovered ProCoder, so maybe you can recommend an authoring program to go along with the tools that I am currently using. In any event, thanks for your help, you always seem to have all the right answers.
