file size difference in dvdA2
Hi all,
When I render an mpeg2 file in vegas I get for example a combined size (mpeg2 and ac3) of 4.3gig. When I load it into dvdA2 as a single movie it announces its size as 5gig which obviously is too big for a single layer disk.This is happening constantly and driving me mad.Any suggestions?
thanks, Martin -

DVDA is VERY conservative with its file sizes. EXAMPLE; I just did 1 this AM, MPEG2 w/AC3 video. MPEG file was 4.1 gigs, AC3 was 168 megs. DVDA2 told me the file was 4.7 gigs but I know from previous experience the size was OK so I burned it. It burned and played fine (on 4 different players). Look at the size of the MPEG file and the AC3 file add some for menus and remember that a 4.7 gig DVD will not actually do 4.7 gigs. I don’t remember the exact number buts I believe its around 4.32.
When you encode in Vegas go a little more conservative and you should be OK.Don
