    My file is too big to make a dvd it appears. How can I burn a portion without deleting the excess? I see no way to burn a looped portion like I would to upload to youtube. Any suggestions? I dont want to delete part because I would have to re edit it again. Right now it saves as an AVI. I need the audio that goes with it. Render it as something else which saves the audio? Which one is that? Right now it outputs as HDV Camera (1080). I suppose if the output type was changed to DVD it would probably be small enough. But I don’t know how to do that.
    Thanks Doyal

    I stand corrected. I see there is a way to render a looped region after all. I still need to make a dvd of the entire program though. The entire program takes about 20 gig as is so it has to be reduced quite a bit it looks like.

    [doyal gudgel] “The entire program takes about 20 gig as is so it has to be reduced quite a bit it looks like.”

    What matters is the length in time, not the size of the file. DVD uses MainConcept MPEG2 video and Dolby Digital AC-3 for audio. You can get about 1 hr 20 min on a DVD at the default bit-rate. How long is your project?

    You can use a bit-rate calculator to determine what bit-rate to use when rendering or just render to AVI file and drop it into DVD Architect and let DVD Architect fit it onto a DVD for you.

    Of course if you are using Movie Studio then just use Make Movie, follow the prompts and let Vegas figure it all out for you.
