Thanks to all for your resonses.

I have used compressor in the past but have always avoided it when possible. I guess I just have to suck it up and really finally learn it – now I just have to somehow find the time to do it… I know that contatnly relearning and adapting is part of the nature of this stuff but it sure does get exhausting!

Hi-

Thanks for all the information. I neglected to mention that two of the videos are silent and one only has 30sec. of audio right at the end – so I am afraid that the audio is probably not the problem.

The discs were 8x discs burned on 8x writers. But perhaps we can try at a slower speed.

My general feeling is that the bit rate is just too high. I use 7-8 all the time but on much shorter projects so perhaps the length of this project is coming into play.

Also, is it still a problem not to have any markers in a really long file? I remember in studio pro 2 having to place markers about every 15 mins in a long file. I just made another hour 1/2 dvd for duplication on my same system and everything was fine. The only difference is that is was a compilation of short films so there were markers about every five minutes.
