Mydvd Project Size Smaller Than Actual Burn Size

[ravwomyn]

I have been trying to create DVDs with MyDvD within Roxio by creating a project which contains two files which were created from VHS tape. In the project the size shows less than 3 gig, but when I go to burn it to either DVD or as an image the size is too large to fit on a DVD.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

First thing is not to figure on the size of the files, but on the total length of the video. For Best Quality, figure 1 hour for a single layer disc. If you're going longer than that, compression is going to start degrading the final quality. So, how long are the videos you're putting into your project?
