Just do an iso image on Encore 2.0, not direct burn to DVD. If the resulting is image is over 4.7GB shrink it in the freeware program DVD Shrink 3.2. (Google it!) Once you have the “shrunk” iso burn the image with either Encore 2.0 or Nero. I do this all the time and I am a happy cow! Mooooooooo!

Jeff:
Thanks for the response. I had the sequences (or chapters like getting ready, ceremony, reception, bouquet toss, credits) in a single timeline except the intro video which I put as intro timeline. As the video progresses to the next chapter, there is a brief pause at the start of the next chapter. I was going to create a timeline for each chapters but I wasn’t sure if that is a better way to go specially when you create a chapter playlist. -
Amen, to the use of DVD-R which I find very compatible with DVD
players – old and new.================================================
Note to Jeff:I want you to know that I bought your book and it really helped me a lot.
I must admit though that it took me a awhile to digest some of the topics.
I wish though that you have a DVD version of the book, but anyway your
book was a big help. I use Avid Liquid 7.1 for editing and export the sequence
as mpeg which is superbly created by Liquid. In my latest project I exported
the entire timeline (about 112 minutes) to MPEG and imported same as asset
into Encore because I did not like the brief pause between sequences (or chapters)
when you play the DVD. I can creat the chapters within Encore anyway.
Any better suggestion?Thanks 🙂

I guess you still have to use DVD Shrink. There are some websites which will tell you how use it. Believe me the quality is still very much acceptable but then again I will let you be the ultimate judge. For burning, I always use DVD-R for my projects. DVD+R is ok but older DVD players will not take it. I have a DVD player which is about 7 years old where I test my burned DVDs. If it works on the old DVD player, it will work with the newest ones. Good luck and let us know.

let us know how your project went.

I had the same problem. But I created an image file (.iso) anyway. The final file came up to 5.2 GB. A standard blank DVD is only 4.7GB. What I did is I just shrunk the 5.2 GB file in that freeware DVD Shrink program, which did a good job of shrinking the image to the size of the media which is 4.7GB. Then burn the “new” iso file in Nero. Love it!

THANKS MARK. I think I will do just that.
I will download a free trial and will go from there.
