Smartfit making files too big for DVD's
[Post New]
Hello there... I'm a bit frustrated. I'm trying to make a dvd using the smartfit setting under the dvd video for create 2d disc. Everything is fine until I try to burn the file that this setting creates. The file is 4.39gb large and to my understanding the max should be 4.38. The video is about 1hour 41 mins long. Can anyone suggest anything it would be greatly appreciated. 4790K / Asus Z97i-Plus / 16gb (2-8gb)crucial @1866 Mhz / Samsung ssd 840 pro 250gb / Samsung 850 evo 250gb M.2 / 2-4tb HGST 7200rpm raid 1 / Nvidia GTX 1070 founders) / corsair RM650 PS / LG BD-RE

Aldoxide:

Welcome to the PD13 Forum. In the "Create Disk" module, under the "2D" tab, you should be able to select .mpeg2 as your output format, and to the right of that, select "SP Standard Quality". You will lose some quality as a result, but two hours will fit on a single-layer DVD.

If you have a player capable of playing double-layer DVDs, and you have some double-layer DVDs, you can burn "Best Quality" because double-layer DVDs have a capacity of over 8 GB. Single layer DVDs are maxxed out at 4.7 GB, but room is required for menu authoring and disk finalization. In general, you can only get about 1 hour 8 minutes on a "Best Quality" single-layer DVD.

Hope this helps. Have a great day.

Thanks for the reply. The only two settings I'm available to choose from are : best quality and smart fit. Smart fit does reduce the size and quality as you pointed out, but it still makes the file a tad too big for burning on a 4.7gb disc. 0.01 gb too big. 4790K / Asus Z97i-Plus / 16gb (2-8gb)crucial @1866 Mhz / Samsung ssd 840 pro 250gb / Samsung 850 evo 250gb M.2 / 2-4tb HGST 7200rpm raid 1 / Nvidia GTX 1070 founders) / corsair RM650 PS / LG BD-RE

I PD13 little use to create DVD-Video.
I've been researching here and found that video to the format of 4x3 him more options more time on disk.
For the 16x9 format only have HQ (1 hour DVD 4.7)
SmartFit that reconverted the video to fit the disc size.

My suggestion, produce a MPEG2 file compatible with DVD, use a lower bit rate.
Example: In Produce, create a profile from the [MPEG2 HQ]
Reducing the bit rate to about 5 Kbps. it must fit about 2 hours to DVD 4.7 Gb. (check the size file should be near and 4.3 Gb. consider free space for menu.

Create DVD from this file in the Smart Fit option, PD not should use SVRT and therefore will not render the video.
then it will not increase the file size.

Note: PD does not show up when you will connect SVRT DVD, we have to observe the time spent if SVRT works the process is fast, the delay is due to the disk recording.

Thanks for taking the time to reply on this issue. I had already considered what you suggested and I was hoping having to do this extra step... I was also uneasy about having to re-compress an already compressed video, but I shall take the steps you suggested to make sure this is not the case. I hope the developers take quick note of this issue and get down to fix it. I'm surprised not to see others bring this issue up... I guess no one really burns old dvd's anymore.

My problem is that our shows are over 2 hrs. Like 2hrs 15min. Pretty much forces me to use 2 DVDs. 1 for each act.
I've had too many problems with double layer DVDs so I don't use them. .

You shouldn't have to do 2 dvd's if you don't want to.. I edited with avid liquid 7 for a long time and this gave you the ability to set up your own bitrate compression for the iso file. Some of my projects were 3 hours long on a single dvd. Of course the bitrate was low but it was fine for what it was intended. I hope the developers take a look at this. 4790K / Asus Z97i-Plus / 16gb (2-8gb)crucial @1866 Mhz / Samsung ssd 840 pro 250gb / Samsung 850 evo 250gb M.2 / 2-4tb HGST 7200rpm raid 1 / Nvidia GTX 1070 founders) / corsair RM650 PS / LG BD-RE
