What is the original file type that is 16 gigs, and how long, time-wise, is the video? HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

It's a workout video, 6 separate 25 minute sessions. I have split it in 2 now so each video is about 6 gigs. Format is .wmv
The DVD is probably just under 2 hours.


Thanks.

Split in two? 6G x 2 = 12 gigs, where's the rest of the gigs?
How did you get a video that was WMV?
No matter...
...if you place the videos into a timeline, and burn to DVD using Smartfit, a double-layer DVD should hold that length of time.
A single-layer DVD holds about an hour of standard definition video. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

I received the video from a friends usb stick. I put it in movie maker and split it in 2 as I thought it would fit but it didn't. OK, original must be about 13 gigs not 16 THANK YOU, I will try the Smartfit format. Will let you know.

To be clearer...
place your entire video into the timeline.
Open the create disc module.
Choose 2D
Choose DVD
Underneath the DVD icon you can choose 4.7G (single-layer), or 8.5G (double-layer).
Choose HQ or Smartfit (either may work)
Choose burn in 2D
You may wish to burn as a folder first, or use a RW disc, to save money and wasted discs.

These are over-simplified instructions, I am not getting into editing, or menus.
Also note, a DVD is an MPEG2 or Vob file, your current WMV will be converted to this filetype automatically, and 2 hours of Vob should fit tightly on a DL DVD.

The amount of time that fits on a 4.7 GB DVD is about one hour.
The time on a double layer DVD (8.5 GB) is about two hours.

You have said you have six 25 min videos. That is 150 Minutes or 2 1/2 hours. You can edit the footage to a total of two hours (20 minutes each), then your Six videos will fit.

You can use Smart Fit, but that really destroys the quality of the video. DVD is Standard Definition anyway, you do not want to make the quaily any worse.
