sonny-1600 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 are you saving them on the disk as audio/video or data. as if you save music as audio 18 - 22 songs to a 700mb disk, if you did them in data (mp3?) then you could easyly get over 100+ hope this helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickblackburn82 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 when burning a dvd size is not the key its the length of the video cos even though its only 3.4 gig that is video format on your computer when its burnt onto dvd it is first converted into a different format which is substantially larger than the original file a normal movie file around 700mb/1000mb when converted can be in the region of 4.5gig once converted to dvd format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchkev Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 im deffo using a DVD and not a CD, the disk kinda gives it away, stu, im using nero 9 burning suite, i go to make your own dvd video, add the files that i want (each file is roughly 350mb) edit the titles etc then procede to burn, and then it crashes, but if i only add 2 or 3 episodes it'll burn without problems nick, i see what your saying, maybe its compressed when on the comp, but de-compresses when bruning? shaw - it actually neighbours - but you were close sonny, its not an MP3 im burning, its a .AVI file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonny-1600 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 sonny, its not an MP3 im burning, its a .AVI file just using the music as an example when you click make your own dvd its conveting it to a file called .vob which a dvd player recognises. i think there a data burner on nero or burning express or something along them lines. i just select the disk to be a dvd 4.7gb then just drag the files over and it will burn the vids as avi and not convert them, but do you have an xvid/divx compatible dvd player? or you going to be using them to play them?

What you're choosing is authoring a proper DVD video disc which means converting the AVI's to mpeg layer-2 video files suitable for playing in dvd players, hence the larger size.
