More Than 1 Movie To Dvd?

[kbhoff]

Just wondering why I can burn a dvd movie in Creator 2010 that is 3.06 GB and not 2 movies that are 2.73 GB total space on to a 4.7 GB disk. I mean I understand that the menus probably take up some space but I don't understand. I know i have burned 3 movies before. I have looked and looked for how to change any settings but couldn't find anything as far as changing video quality. I have changed it to extended play and it still says there isn't enough room.

 

Thanks for any help you can give me.

File sizes mean almost nothing when creating video DVDs, it is the time length of the video that matters. A standard 4.7GB DVD can hold 60 minutes of video using the best (HQ) quality setting. Any longer and the other settings have to be used with a resulting loss of quality. The worst possible setting is Fit-to-disc.

 

So how long in time are your projects? In What format are the source videos?
