i have been using toast for a long time already. but it is only recently that i encountered a problem. im burning some videos which is 25 minutes each and is around 200MB max. i tried adding around 10 files of it and the indicator is still green. so i assumed that i can still add more files. but when encoding reached 99.99%, an error popped up stating that disk space not enough. my question is, why is the indicator still green when there isnt enough space already? i have been burning these stuff for awhile and have not encountered any problem. i only did when i tried installing toast 8. it started with that then i downgraded to toast 7 again but the problem never was resolved. if only i knew that would happen i wont upgrade to 8 anymore and stick with my old copy.

what is the capacity of a dvd when it comes to videos? is it 4.7GB or 120minutes of video?

hope someone can help me cos its really frustrating!!

thanks!!

Take note if Toast mentions "not enough disk space" or "not enough disc space".
The disk space with a k point to insufficient space on your hard disk drive, while the disc space with a c points to the optical media.
While converting your movie to MPEG-2 for DVD, Toast writes temporary files to your hard drive.

i think it is disc space cos the disk space of my hard drive is still 40GB. i really cant understand why the indicator is still green when there isnt enough disc space..
