I have one of those monster 1.5 hour home movies of my grandkids. I created it in MS I saved it as an mp2 -- 5.5 gig. I used DVDA to create menus 3 main plus 2 scene with a total of 16 chapters.
When I tried to have MS call DVDA it created a file that was too large. I have cut a little off of the movie, 1.29 hours, redid it to a 4.10 gig size but DVDA still says it is 116% even at 8000 bit rate. I ran it through dvshrink for fun and it created the dvd at around 5500. The dvd plays but has a crc error on it.
What is confusing is I burned the first test 1.32 hours without errors or complaints.
Is is must to stay under 70 minutes?
I've been making some very lovely coasters.
Thanks
