Hi I have tried that setting I change the setting to 8.5

sames message again, imported file exceeds exceeds the amount of available disk space.

it also say at the point of trying to burn

If the size of the content is too large, for 8.5 GB Disk, your video is just too big.
You can maybe split the video in half.

Or produce it to MPEG-2 HQ, and see how large the produced video is.
If the produced MPEG-2 HQ video will fit on the disk, then use that produced MPEG2 instead of the HD video which is too big.

The other alternative is to burn a BluRay disk. BluRay will only play in a BluRay player.

See picture.

Many thanks for all your help guys, looks like I will have to spit the footage in two, I was trying to avoid it be never mind.

I appreciate all your help guys.

hi,
this may not be a good solution but Blu ray disk hold 25GB for single sided ones and 50GB for Double layer ones, but require a PS3 or blu ray player to play.

Not necessary true. I routinely create DVD Video Folders that are larger than what fits on a DL DVD disc, namely 8152MB (7.96GB). The key here is that the DVD video structure with VOB files only allows for 9 VOB's maximum each of 1024MB. Therefore one must always stay within that constraint at all times. The burn process in PD9 can be a two part process if “Burn to disc” and “Create a folder” are used. This will produce the warning note shown in the pic Large_Disk_1. Doing this, PD9 will finish the “Create a folder” phase and then error on the “Burn to disc” phase. I simply use a spare dvd+rw 4.7GB disc so I waste no discs as it errors anyhow. The error msg will depend on media being used. What one has after the failed burn is a valid DVD Folder.

As you can see, my 9th VOB block is almost full, I could add a little more to the timeline. I can then use a third party tool to burn the folder to a DL DVD disc which offers much better compression algorithms compared to PD “smart fit” to take this 8.73GB DVD Folder and compress to 8000MB (7.81GB) which several burn utilities use as a safe size to fit on a DVD DL disc.

Why all the hassle, I guess some just like the extra length! The approach can add a fair amount of video time to the timeline with little loss in quality; I have one application that it works great for as I need a DVD HQ with ~140min in the timeline.

I thought I'd just add the above detail for completeness for someone searching in the future, it offers little help to the problem at hand as it's way too large for DVD.
