0 Jim_Hardin Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) I'll have to look at that, next time I am in Win 8 In the meanwhile, use the 'Folder' option, and Burn Data Disc to burn the folder to a disc... Info on that is Here, with the Burn Data Disc near the bottom. Edited November 12, 2013 by Jim_Hardin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above part of your post is incorrect. If you change the quality setting the image file size changes. Disc size of course has no effect on the image size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ratchet Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 As an example, I am trying to render and burn a 35min video. If I select to create a folder set in ep mode, lp mode, sp mode, or hq mode, a 1.16GB folder is created. They are all the same. If I select to create an iso in each of these modes a 1.16GB iso is created. The same thing happens if I try to burn to a DVD. If the movie is over 1 hr the resulting folder set, iso, or DVD created is over 4.7GB at all modes. Strange but when I go to burn a DVD with a movie over 1 hr. It shows that I have lot of room on the DVD. The burning starts, but after burning for a time, an error is shown that the DVD is not large enough. I can see by looking at the DVD that it is fully "burnt" It actually tries to burn over the 4.7GB and fails. The DVD is ruined. Does anyone else see this weird behaviour with NXTPRO2? Actually tried saving an image of Win 8.1, wiped the hard drive and a did a fresh install of 8.1 with updates and only NXTPRO2 in the shop. Still the same problem.

Windows 8.1 with NXT PRO2 and Intel Core i7 quad If you can't change it (greyed out) how do you burn a disc image? I can get the target media to change to +R DL if I load a drive with one and the burn disc drive is checked. I don't think it matters what it shows there when you burn to a disc, the disc info shows below the drive. A 1 hour 6 minute avi file rendered in HQ produces a 3.93GB image file. I can't reproduce your problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ratchet Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks for your time and help with the screen shots! I am able to put an X in the "Save disk Image File" box and then click BURN, or put an X in the "Create folder set" box and then click BURN. (its the "Target Media" box that is grey like in your screenshot) The resulting iso or folder set is always the same size regardless of the Mode selected in MYDVD (EP LP SP or HQ). In previous versions for example, I could create a folder set or ISO in EP mode, and burn it at a later time, and the quality would actually be EP. Now it is always HQ. Thanks for trying to duplicate the problem on your machine. It's something unique to our setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cdanteek Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 It is always HQ. I wouldn't call that a bad thing! Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
