DVD+RW
CoolComputing Forum » Microsoft/Windows Software QuestionsHey David, thanks for the advice. When I encoded my file using the software that you suggested, everything worked out perfectly. It seems that my authoring software was not encoding the file right. I really appreciate it, thanks again.
That doesn't sound right- remeber that you have to burn either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compressed video to DVD's in order to play them back on a DVD player. So that 6.2 gig size might be the raw uncrompessed size of the file and not the MPEG-2 compressed version of it. There is a popular tool out there called Tsunami MPEG Encoder, or TMPGEnc for short, and here's an article on how to convert Divx to DVD Mpeg2 using that tool:
Hey, I'm new to this whole online forum thing so I apologize if I'm doing this wrong, but I
have a question that I can't seem to get answered anywhere else. I purchased a sony
manufactured DVD+RW drive for my computer which came with the MY DVD software
program by Sonic. I got the drive because I wanted to burn Divx quality DVD movies
from online onto disc but there is a problem with file size when I try to do this; the
blank media for the drive holds 4.7GB and I tried to burn a 700MB movie onto it, but the
My DVD software shows that after video and audio decompression, the file becomes
about 6.2GB thus too large to fit on the disc and there are no adjustments I can make to
the program to change the file size. I want to know if the problem is with the software
or if it is simply not possible to put a DVD movie on DVD+RW media. Is there a DVD+RW
disc that I can get which holds more than 4.7GB?
