You are confused in stating a problem the way you see it. Jeff gave you the best possible explanation. Let us get this right.
- Produced a 1 hour 10 minute file which became 5110 MB or about 5.1 GB using the mpeg-2 8 Mbps setting.
- Went to the Create Disc page. Imported the above produced file and chose No Menu. The 4.7 GB dvd cannot be created because 5.1 GB file is larger than the maximum 4.7 GB dvd selected. That was your error or information message.
- Changed the dvd selection from 4.7 GB to 8.5 GB. You can now burn a 8.5 GB dvd+-r dl successfully. The 5.1 GB produced file is larger than the 4.7 GB maximum. Did you not answer your own question. That produced 5.1 GB file is 5.1 GB – 4.7 GB= 0.4 GB too large to fit a 4.7 GB dvd.
There are several things that you could have done. In the produce step, why did you choose the 8 Mb setting when you said you already know that the file will be too big to fit a 4.7 GB maximum for a dvd??
The drop down arrow allows you to scroll up to choose a 2 or 3 Mbps bit rate video setting and the produced file will only be 8 Mbps/2Mbps =5110/4=1277 MB in size. That of course will fit a 4.7 GB dvd.
The same result could have been achieved and fit a 4.7 GB dvd in the Create Disc page. Your JVC camcorder produces 4:3 SD video. In the recording format choose 4:3. In the encoding format choose either Smart Fit, SP, or LP but not HQ and it wil fit a 4.7 GB dvd. I just tried it and it works.
Another thought. You could have saved time by not doing the Produce step. Do it all in the Create Disc page. 2.2 hours of video should fit if SP is selected. 3+ hours of video should fit if LP is selected.
Let us know if your question is sufficiently answered. If you choose LP you can put maybe 7 hours of video on a 8.5 GB dvd. You just need to select the correct settings. Some users may prefer 7 hours of video on 1 disc instead of 7 hours of video on 7 separate disc. Quality of course will not be as good if only on 1 disc.
