Hello!

I have an MP4 file in Power Director that is 3.54Gigs - and want to burn it on a 4.7G DVD. When I go to Create the capacity is shown as 6.98Gigs which is too large for my DVD - does anybody know why this is the case and more importantly how can I resolve the situation and make a DVD using a 4.7Gig DVD.

Thanks in advance!

A 4.7GB DVD holds about 60min of high quality video, a DL 8.5GB will hold about 120min. To compress the video bitrate which will result in lower quality, select "Smart Fit" in the 2D Disc tab. I'd suggest using a DL disc instead of accepting lower quality.
