Using Roxio 2010 when I load a video prior to burning using "Fit to Disc" the indicator says that I have just a few seconds of DVD space left unused.
When I burn the video it gets compressed to approx 3gb leaving 1.7 gb unused and having been burnt at a lower quality than I require.
I think that it may be because I set ffdshow to be used all of the time. Now I cannot find it to unset it.
Is this my problem or has anyone any other ideas and suggestions?

What format is the original file? If it is MPEG 2 DVD compliant, try using 'Same As Original' setting.

The “Fit to Disc” setting is part of MyDVD.
It is a poor choice!
Try Gary’s suggestion of Same as Original and see what happens.
Plan B: ‘Burn’ the project at High Quality as a File/Folder, then use Video Copy and Convert to Actually burn that Folder to disc.
VCC will re-render to fit your media and does a much better job then MyDVD
More than likely, the real problem is that you are trying to fit too much on a 4.7GB DVD… If your Source is good and you don’t want a lousy picture, plan on 1 hour of HQ for a 4.7GB.

Also, disable your ffdshow, since Creator 2010 already has the needed codecs installed.
Actually, I don't know that MyDVD would use fddshow codec, anyway, so diabling it may not be necessary.
