I had a project that was mpeg2, 5 gig. When I tried to a disc (2D), message comes back saying imported files exceed available disc space. I wanted to make sure I actually had a dual layer drive and I do because when I'm not in PD and insert a dual layer disc, it tells me the capacity I have. When I went back to the company, they suggested that in Power Director I find the option called "close disc on the burner tag" and uncheck it. I can't find anything close to that in Power Director. Can anyone help me here. Does this program burn dual layer disc?

Thanks for any input

It does burn a double layer DVD.

Select 2D.

In the Create Disk Module, click the Disk preferences tab, the 8.5 GB choice is on the DVD drop down.
Disk Preferences tab is on the left side of the Create Disk module.
