File size-Windows
Howdy, I installed a plug in ‘video4youtube’, with the intent of uploading to Youtube. This didn’t turn out too well, in that it required another download ‘Mp4box’. I couldn’t dowload this as I just got alot of error messages. But I was eventually able to render my project thorough video4youtube which produced a Mp4 file at 720p. I uploaded and it runs fine. Now my question is this: In my documents folder it shows that the size of the video is approx 500K, but I eventually burned this file to DVD and it shows in both the encoding software that I used for burning, and when I do a properties query on the drive that holds the DVD, that it is 520MG. Why the descrepancy? Thanks in advance.

520 Milligrams? That’s a big pill…..
It looks like your source file is a 500KB MP4 file, right?
To make a DVD it has to be re-encoded to an MPEG2 file. The size of any encoded file is entirely dependent on the bit-rate you told the encoder to use. If you used the DVDA template in Vegas to encode the file, the default parameters should be fine to fit up to 80-minutes of video on a 4.7GB DVD.Of course, if you want the best quality, don’t do a re-encode. Just encode for DVD in Vegas from your project timeline using the DVDA template in the “Render As” menu. Don’t forget to make the .AC3 file for the audio.

You dont need to use the Mp4box for video4youtube, and
you dont use it for renders that are destined for DVD’s,
follow the instructions Stephen gave you.Steve Rhoden
